They shouldn't have parked there in the first place but the guy has no valid reason to confront the woman in the car.

While a large portion of society does typically favor the blind eye, non-confrontational approach, I prefer to address a wrong. As in this scenario, it does open the door to escalation, but it only takes one party with a cool head to avoid out of control escalation. Neither of theses parties processed that. 

Heck, I get annoyed when someone is parked 10 feet from cart return and still leaves it in a parking space or on the curb. And yes, I do call folks out on it with varied responses, most of which are head hanging shame with a side of scurry back to their vehicle.

I disagree...the guy has every right to voice concern and help police the society that he is a part of. Wrong is wrong, no matter who identifies it. It’s the escalation factors beyond verbal confrontation that are the issue.

Was a person's life worth it all? And that kid watching his father die and the others losing their father? 

At one time I would have agreed with what you said because I tend to get aggravated about similar things, but we live in a day and age that, when you do point something out to someone and the next thing you know there's a dead person. You can't assume anymore that people in general aren't thisclose to, as Ozzy said, "going off the rails on the crazy train" and won't have a knee jerk reaction. 

My life is not worth confronting someone over a parking space. And I do believe that what goes around comes around.
