Did you actually read the article?

You betcha. These violators parked in conflict with a city ordinance. Their intentions may have been innocent but their actions were not.

Even a third grader in California can reasonably expect restrictions on parking at a large, outdoor, public event to preserve private property rights. Ignorance of the law is not an excuse ... unless you're a liberal ... and then it makes all the difference in the world.

The reasonable adults knew they were caught and paid their fine. Liberals and the MSM, just like children, whined to the world about their good intentions and blamed society for not protecting them from their own greed and laziness.

Thank God I'm surrounded by adults on this conservative forum.

There is a section of I-95 near me that "reduces" to 55 miles per hour through the city limits. At least once a month the State Police run a speed trap. They get about one car a minute for an hour or so. Big bucks for the state. They are positioned just over a little rise so you can't see them until it is too late. Oh, and it is right before the exit to a large mall, so always busy.

"Ignorance of the law is not an excuse ... unless you're a liberal ... and then it makes all the difference in the world."

Except that, in this particular case, an ordinance was changed and the people were not informed ("signs were missing or not visible"). Do you really think that was an accident?

"Thank God I'm surrounded by adults on this conservative forum."

Since when are conservatives (adult or otherwise) supposed to mindlessly rubber-stamp anything and everything done by government? And since when do we support petty tyrants and the ordinances they put in place for the sole purposes of revenue generation?
