  1. At 83 I don’t think it was intentional to hit that person, he could of hit a shopping cart. But the people who feel they as a pedestrian that they can reserve a spot while other cars are circling the the parking lot for 5 minutes searching for an open spot is wrong, no car, no spot, it’s very simple, also stop holding seats for people who can’t get to church on time.
