Yep, me too, just where am I supposed to put a F250 diesel and a 30' camper when needing to stop ?

Yeah I don't have a problem with that either. I see it at motels frequently when I travel but they always park in the back it seems, not taking the prime spots.

Irrespective of the actual mechanical issue, there's a lot of places around here better than where he chose to park and dismember his rig.

Yep, I'm guilty as well, when I have my trailer in tow, and like him, I park at the end, away from others.

It's quite possible there are reasons that none of us would find objectionable.

How about if he pulled in there in a driving rain in the wee hours and wanted to use that overhang to regroup or something. Also, notice that he parked in front of an empty storefront.

He could've discovered the tire going down after he pulled in, took the wheel off, and waited for morning. This photo could've been taken during the 30 minutes it took to get the wheel to and from buying/fixing his situation. Probably didn't have a viable spare, so he could be castigated for that.

On top of all this, he could be using that trailer to haul his son's racing kart. I do believe I see the magic word on the back of the trailer.

I'd me more concerned about that blood dripping out of the left rear corner of the trailer, though.

I have friends who truly require handicap parking. They would appreciate fewer occurrences of entitlement by thick-skulled specimens.

So, why obscure the perp's license plate? Is there a legal issue showing illegal parking and shaming the owner and his/her parking style?

I did not obscure anything. I would not do him that favor.
