Disabled Parking Earned by Many
* As a person with a handicapped placard, I take offense at Richard Deight’s comments (Letters, Sept. 28) that handicapped parking is unfair to 98% of the public.
I earned mine at Okinawa; many others earned theirs in the battles fought for 100% of the public.
There is also the matter of those unfortunate enough to have a disability that requires them to need help. The fact that some uncaring people take advantage of the handicapped parking situation is a police matter that is overlooked in the press of fighting crime. The penalty is too light for these offenders.
Deight should be happy he is not walking in our shoes.
