I am sorry to here about this ugly incident of someone claiming
A parking place by violent means. It is a shame when
Anyone in the neighborhood has to endure such dangerous, thuggish
Behavior by someone who lives nearby.
But, I do not think It is due to new people. Sadly, I estimate that it is due to the General decline in civility and consideration. If you ever watch The show "Airline" on A&E and see how vicious and hysterical people Get in airports when they get to the check in desk too late, when Weather leads to flight delays, when they are removed from flights Due to aggressive and obnoxious behavior, etc., you are reminded That basic good manners and respect for others have sadly eroded. On Airline, the infuriated, out of control customers tend to resort To attacks on low level airline workers who are obviously not the Parties responsible for their problems.
From my own experience, I can report that irrational, nasty Acts in fits of parking rage are not new in our area.
Back in 1997, I needed to have my front sidewalk replaced. I put
Up a barrier in front of the sidewalk on the street, since the
Guy doing the job would only put in the new sidewalk if he could
Park his truck right next to the area he was working on. He delayed
Coming for several days, during which time I kept the combination
Of trash cans and boards, with a sign warning about the impending
Sidewalk construction so people would understand why I had a Barrier in what ordinarily would be a parking space. [...]
