Having some friends who turn out to be dishonest doesn’t make you dishonest.

As for the squeegee men, a lot of them were threatening and a few carried out threats. Intimidating motorists while they’re stuck in traffic at stop lights, by approaching and touching their cars without permission or invitation, is not something that should be tolerated. It’s not something that’s safe for city drivers to get accustomed to.

Maybe not. But hiring them for important high profile jobs makes you stupid.

Covering for them and lying about it does.

Pity the drivers there aren't allowed to carry the means of more directly causing such folk to reassess their modus operandi...here, looking down the barrel of a .45 might cause them to rethink their profession.

No need to look to the government for salvation.

Therein, though, lies the crux of the matter. Many city folks wouldn't tolerate such independance, and we refuse to live without it.
