My response that you quoted was to the post of nonhandycapped driver unnecessisarily waiting in a handicapped spot (that may have been needed by you and your child) while the actual handicapped person is shopping. Your situation is one where the handicapped individual needs an assistant, and that is you. Unlikely that an able-bodied driver will be "chillin'" in your vehicle.
Caring and concerned individuals here are looking out for your interest by calling out the apparent abusers. Those who may be the abusers are the ones that use the bullies response of "mind your own business".
