A woman in the United Kingdom has pleaded guilty to a public order offense after she was accused of leaving what paramedics called a “vile” note on an ambulance that was responding to an emergency call.

The woman, identified by police as 26-year-old Kirsty Sharman, was in court Tuesday on charges relating to the incident.

Authorities said she verbally abused paramedics and left a profane note on an ambulance Sunday morning that was in Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire, England, responding to a call about a person experiencing breathing problems.

After the call, when the paramedics returned to the emergency vehicle, they discovered the handwritten note on the windshield, according to a statement from the West Midlands Ambulance Service. The message read: “If this van is for anyone but Number 14 then you have no right to be parked here. I couldn’t give a ---- if the whole street collapsed now move your van from outside my house.”

What kind of a limp-wristed, snowflake do you have to be to pursue charges against someone for leaving a note? Crumple it up and throw it away and be a man. My god, what a bunch of pansies. I swear to god, some day we’re going to be like an episode of Star Trek-TNG where they go to a planet where just about everything is illegal and the penalty is death for every infraction. FFS!!

I only lived in an apartment complex once and only for a short duration. The parking in those complexes seems to span the entire range from intolerable to impossible.

I can see why someone could go ballistic over someone filching their parking place - but not an emergency vehicle.

THAT’S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THERE IS NO 2A. GUNS ARE FEW IN GB.

If they had a 1A, that would be lost because of no 2A.

That’s what the RATs want here.

They used to give speeches on soap boxes over there in Parks..

Probably a censored tradition.

Exactly what I was thinking.....of course freedom of speech does not exist in England!!!

This is a typical sign I have seen in UK NHS offices. This is a Welsh version, but similar ones are everywhere.

I guess in this case they did carry out the threat stated in the poster.

It is a bigger poroblem than I thought....

And lo and behold, the very next day, from the Daily Mail:
But in this instance the Police are not aware of any crime!
