Lawmaker Deflates Tire on Car in His Space

MONTGOMERY, Ala. - A north Alabama legislator thinks he has found a way to deter someone from taking his reserved parking space outside the Alabama Statehouse - deflate the culprit's tires.
State Rep. Albert Hall, D-Gurley, let the air out of the left front tire of a car he said blocked him on a recent day of legislative work. Hall later learned the driver was the wife of Rep. Allen Layson, D-Reform, and said he now regrets what he did.
He said people have been blocking him in or taking his spot the whole session of the Legislature.
Hall, a House parking committee member, said he has called wreckers to tow away cars parked in his spot.
In the most recent case, Hall found Layson's car had been squeezed in as the third car into a parallel parking space for three. That left him wedged between Layson's car and another car.
Hall, who wiggled his way out, said he did not let the tire all the way down.
"I just wanted her to have to stop and put some air in her tire and trouble her a little, too," he said.
Rep. Alan Boothe, D-Troy, who is head of the Internal Affairs committee that oversees House parking, said he is trying to develop a better system. There are no clear signs of who parks where now.

and. . . . .?
He could have filled her radiator with mint julips but that would have been a waste of good liquor, the fruit juice of legislators. (Ever notice how they keep taxing everything except alcohol? But that's for another discussion)
We southerners know how to handle those that peeve us off.

I did this once. A maniac was weaving in and out, cutting people (me) off acting like an ass.
We ended up in the same parking lot so when she went in I deflated one of her tires.
Justice served.

Getting even with jerky drivers (parkers) I can understand, but the money
the legislators of each state suck out of all of us in the way of every tax under the sun and then they carry on like a bunch of spoiled brats who don't get their way.. that was the crux of my posting this. The people that feel they are above the law usually act worse than those they write the laws against. Admittedly I laughed when I read this with the mental image of these jerk males in public office that think they are so high and mightly actly like a bunch of 6 year olds.. then I thougth about the people's money they use and abuse to carry on like this... and that made me angry which most politicans do anyway.
