How typical.

The crew was only 'sorry' later they got caught and exposed, not even moving when first notified.

The vet should have called the cops on their sorry arses.

A disabled Air Force veteran posted photos online of an MSNBC news crew blocking handicapped parking outside an early voting place in southwest Houston Tuesday.

“They should know better,” James Berrie, the veteran said.

So they're sorry they got caught, not sorry for what they did.


By tomorrow they will have spun it completely around. They'll blame Trump - problem solved.

IMO they should have news crews set up so close to polling places anyway. What a load of crap, they just create the "circus environment" they then report on.

your story doesnt add up.


The link says he didnt say anything until after he had voted, and then they moved when told to.

Within the last 10 years, I saw a near life-size cutout of Obama, with a Hitler mustache, the minimum legal distance from the door to a post office (same week that an election occurred).

"Berrie, who has multiple sclerosis, said the crew agreed to move when confronted. However, 15 minutes later when the couple finished voting and returned outside the crew remained."

My mistake, misheard it. Thought the Reporter said he parked in the back lot, went in and confronted them when he finished voting 15 minutes later.

That however doesnt change that calling this voter suppression is stupid . voter suppression would be if he was told he couldnt vote because he was disabled, not because some random person used a handicap spot.
