Wichita tea partiers upset with parking tickets

[Cheap_Trick]

WICHITA, Kan. - Organizers of a Tea Party in Wichita are upset that police wrote more than 70 parking tickets during an event last week.

Hundreds of people participated in a Tea Party gathering last Thursday near Wichita's City Hall.

Lynda Tyler, of Kansans for Liberty, admits that the people parked illegally in city lots that required permits. But she says many people were confused about using the City Hall garage, and no one was using the private lot during the evening rally.

Police Capt. Troy Livingston says officers responded when a citizen complained about the illegal parking. When one man refused to move his car, he got a ticket, and officers felt they had to ticket everyone else.

3. "No one was using the private lot"

Yeah, that's because it cost $$money$$ you scumbag freeloaders.

[Kerrytravelers]

4. So, they thought they could park on PRIVATE property for FREE.

Anyone but me just find that irony too delicious? :rofl:

10. What a bunch of selfish, entitled brats.

:eyes:

[Catshrink]

11. No wonder they hate government

Those pesky police enforce the laws. And I think I remember something about teabaggers not liking it when other people break laws but maybe they feel they're entitled.

:rofl:

12. That's funny. When President Bill Clinton came to Manchester, NH, then-Mayor Ray Wecizorek, ...

...the arch-Republican partisan that he is, made damned sure that *EVERY*
attendee got ticketed for overtime parking. We were there for about two-
and-a-half hours in an area where the meters only went to two hours, but
for some reason, they managed to enforce that particular area of the city
the instant the meters expired.

Suck it up, Teabaggers.

13. "many people confused"?? So what else is new

Do they believe they do not have to follow the laws like everyone else??

[Cheap_Trick]

14. I guess not only can they NOT write their own signs,

they can't read others' as well.

15. This is when Liberals need to show up the night before their rally,

and post signs for free parking for the Tea Party rally. . .

I think some college kids did this awhile back for a Sarah Palin rally on a college campus. A whole bunch of tickets were wrote by campus police.

16. the dark side of me really likes this idea

17. After 8 yrs of Bush, the dumb bastards deserve it!

Typical. :rofl:

19. They should've towed them all.

Let them do their complaining to the nice folks at the privately owned towing companies.

[KonaKane]

20. They're ALWAYS confused.

And not just about parking. Ask them about socialism sometime.

[havocmom]

21. Let me get it straight: They wanted SOMEBODY to provide free parking for all

so they could gather together to protest... socialist, communal, government provided services?

Do I have that right?


:rofl:

What a bunch of spoiled brats

[B Calm]

22. Looks that way!

[never cry wolf]

27. Free (dom) Parking isn't free! n/t

[pipoman]

23. It truly is a bitch

to find parking around city hall, anyone who knows anything about the area knows you don't park on the private or reserved lots in that area. There is plenty of on street parking, you may have to walk a few blocks. Too bad, pay the fine or go to jail dumbshits.

26. I'm sure Dick Armey will reimburse them
