A disabled Marine vet was arrested for using a handicapped parking space. He sued the US government

12. What infuriates me the most here is this

When the park employee tells him he can't park there, he responds that he is disabled and she says:

"I can see that you're not."


Exactly HOW can she "see" that ?

NOT ALL DISABILITIES ARE VISIBLE.

I have dealt with this everyday for 38 years now. I am a disabled vet (100%). You cannot see my disability. No one can see my disability. But it can take me down to my knees in the blink of an eye.

I have resisted getting an HP for just this reason. I have no patience, tact or civility for dealing with arrogant, ignorant people who think they have x-ray vision or calibrated eye-balls or some special talent for discerning disabilities. But I am beginning to have problems that may just require me to get one.

I don't know how I will deal with such people who challenge me.
