Hilarious. You can just see the mindless Occupy Wall Street Lib feverishly writing this note thinking they are setting things right for the poor underprivileged cripples all over the country. It would be beyond them to imagine that handicapped people would be able to own a Beemer....

Zitat
A paralysed man had a shock when he saw a nasty note left on his car for parking in a handicapped parking spot.

Matt Milstead, 36, had parked in the spot before going to play a game of wheelchair rugby at a YMCA in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

When Milstead, who is quadriplegic, returned, he found an anonymous handwritten note left in the door handle of his BMW.

The letter said: �I would love to see your wheelchair! I'm guessing male 25-35 years professional who thinks he's got the world by the ass. But I could be wrong.�

Milstead said he was surprised and confused by the note.

�I was kind of puzzled why he would leave this note and never met me, didn't know if I was in a wheelchair or not, but he just assumed I was just someone who tried to steal a close and convenient spot,� he told Wood TV 8.

His wife, Leslie Milstead, however, was furious by the incident and decided to act.

�It's kind of ironic the guy was trying to right a wrong. He assumed some jerk had parked in a handicapped spot that shouldn't be, and so he was really trying.

'He probably felt like a good person and thought he was doing a good thing, but the problem is he was wrong,� Mrs Milstead told Wood TV 8.

She wrote a sharply-worded message on Facebook aimed at the culprit, saying: �You were so close on the age, he's actually 36, and he is a professional with a full time job.

�He is also a quadriplegic, which for him means that he can no longer move his legs or his fingers in either hand. He has no grip.

�So, if you are willing to give him your functioning hands and legs for the rest of your life in exchange for his 6-year-old BMW and handicapped parking pass, I'm sure he'd make that trade.�

Mrs Milstead then writes: �Why are you so confident that a handicapped person couldn't be a hard worker who is successful and owns a nice vehicle?

She says later in the message that her husband �just shakes his head at people like you who leave notes on his car. Trust me, you aren't the first. Ignorance is everywhere�.

Mrs Milstead finishes the message by urging the person who left the note to look her husband up on Facebook to �see lots of pictures of that wheelchair you had questions about�.
