Funny how we all view things differently. I thought it funny and karma when Aiden brought up all those parking tickets. Shame on Howell for tossing so many aside and thinking he is immune to the rules and can park anywhere he wants, figuring he is safe because he doesn't live in that city.
Sorry, but as a young married, with a 2 month old baby, we were awakened on Christmas Eve morning at 7 a.m. by someone pounding on our door. It was a Chicago cop, arresting my husband for an unpaid $20 ticket. They took him to jail, yes jail, in a cell. I went next door to the little grocery store, which thank heavens was open, to cash a check for $20. The cop thought I left so they could not leave because of the baby, but was taking hubby anyway. I had to call my brother-in-law to come and get the $20, go down to the jail and get my husband out.
So...don't tell me this jerk of a guy deserves any sympathy for accumulating all those tickets, totaling a 5 figure amount of money...thousands of dollars.
Aiden is now going to rep the guy in court for free. And the jerk is probably going to plea down the fines to a lot less, he is making out ahead of the game, far ahead. He already should have lost his driving licence for all those unpaid tickets.
