What do you find "douche-able" with that?
Is he taking advantage of someone, or violating some law?

It's not the patriotic display but the fact of the obvious traffic hazard which is going to occur when one of those flags breaks its lanyard and sails across someone's windshield.

Also the fact that one of the flags is shredded. I thought that was disrespectful to the flag? It also obstructs the view for those behind him.

As someone with a couple of handicapped relatives who legitimately need all the extra space a disabled parking space has to offer, it irritates me to no end when able-bodied people abuse these parking spaces. It really makes me want to take care of the situation in the only logical manner:

Oh - I thought he was referring to the car in the mirror, the one with the fogs and headlights on an clear day.

I hate those guys...

The flags are, however, in poor condition, being tattered and all. If you're not going to display them properly, and maintain them, then please don't fly them.

Mine doesn't go out in the rain, doesn't stay out at night in the dark, and gets replaced when frayed.

I vote for the Porsche photo being staged, although it could be a self-important cretin who feels a door ding on his ride is more important than access. So where's the photo of the car being towed after being reported by the photog?

Parking spots seem to breed conflict and contention.

He was taking a picture. That's pretty obvious.
