ESPN's Britt McHenry seems to act like a bitch to a parking lot attendant -- but was it justified?

[Dan Druff]

Here is the basic litmus test for towing.

If the owner/manager of the property where cars are being towed from is making a regular profit from towing, then it's predatory.

The only profit in towing should come to the tow company.

Once kickbacks are involved, then it's obviously a situation where tow companies are LOOKING to tow cars and are trying to find lot owners to report flimsy "violations" for a tow-for-profit scheme, rather than tow-out-of-necessity as it should be.

California recognized this, and put a smackdown on this situation by requiring an hour to pass in an otherwise public lot.

LOL @ anyone who thinks that these business owners in lie-in-wait tow schemes are just asserting their rights to keep unauthorized people out of their lots.

[Dan Druff]

But yeah, go ahead and be played for a chump when you park for 5 minutes in a situation like this when you literally have no other choice for parking, pay the $300 to get your car back, and blame yourself instead of the predatory business owner/tow truck company.

They count on you to have the "It's their lot, they had a right to do this" state of mind for the scheme to work.

When this happened to me, I recognized immediately the scam it really was, challenged them to prove what I was "guilty" of, and got my money back.

But if you want to be proud of being a chump, under the banner of "business owners' rights", go right ahead.

[big dick]

I was nearly arrested at a tow yard once.And was with a buddy who smashed down the back gate with his car after he got it out lol.... the young drunk days
Tow companies are fucking predatory scumbags there is no doubt about that

I've seen kickbacks!! I pretty much think that's the norm!!

[Lord of the Fraud]

Did stuff call someone a "cunt"¿

[Lord of the Fraud]

Err Druff

[GrenadaRoger]

ughhhhhh - brutal.

brutal, but obviously heavily edited, with the provocations by the tow employee cut out it is claimed; and also it is claimed the tape was $hopped for a week to news outlets


take away: just avoid low lifes and minimize dealings with them

Well you're not the Kuntmissioner, but you are a tad "daft".

This is a tad harsh. You gotta differentiate drunkenness from daftness.

Shall be back to my miserable cunt self after the 24th

[Tellafriend]

Just imagine the shitstorm that would have befallen the tart if instead of making fun of the worker's physical appearance or employment, she had said something disparaging about her skin color or persuasion. Why should one be worse than the other?

This guy gets it.

Amazing how many gullible people say that they "don't need to see" the non-edited version of a heavily edited exposition tape of a celebrity.

Just chop up a video to make the person look the absolute worst, and let the scandal-hungry public eat it up without asking questions. Welcome to 2015.

I get what you're saying, and agree with you, but really the whole other legit side of this argument is a person in her position needs to show more class and not sink to the level of insults that she sank to.

I get both sides of this. She probably was somewhat in the right, but she now comes off as an elitist bitch, and people don't like elitist bitches.

Whether a bad reaction is justified or not is beside the point. She's showing her true, ugly colors. If she was cursing and shouting, I doubt anyone would care this much.

[lol wow]

lol do you faggots even have cars or have ever dealt with impound yards she gets EVERY SSSSSSSSSIIIIIIIINGLE break besides literally shanking one of these assholes

[gimmick]

So the parking attendant was the mastermind behind this whole towing scam. Also how out of context that clip could be taken and what possible editing could you do to it to not make her look like a cunt. It's not like she was spinning a set cover.

[lol wow]

sorry nerd its 1000 percent the tow yard person was a bitch

Elitist bitch = true ugly colors.

I wasn't trying to justify her actions by saying she was probably somewhat in the right. Just agreeing that not being able to see what was said by the fat chick with no teeth was shady and it might not have been as one sided as this tape makes it out to be.

I don't see anything that person behind the counter could have possibly said would justify that.
I guess the guys at ESPN are as naive as me.

Item: Once the video blew up, “someone in McHenry’s camp” told MSNBC that the tape was edited—which is obvious when you watch it—but also admitted that any edits didn’t justify McHenry’s actions. The interesting thing here was the existence of her “camp.” (For perspective, note that neither Bill Simmons nor Keith Olbermann has a “camp.”)

EDIT:
here is one for Druff's side.......FTR this wouldn't change my mind one bit,

.....For example, her dig to "lose some weight, baby girl" was allegedly a response to the employee telling her to "fix your roots.".....

[lol wow]

Britt goat lol at you faggots
