Intentionally damaging a motorcycle /= parking close to someone

You have a fucked up sense of justice if you believe that.

It would be more related to trapping a motorcycling so it couldn't leave the parking lot without rubbing up against the car trapping it.

You are also relating no damage (you can touch paint softly and not leave a mark) vs potentially thousands of dollars in damage.

We aren't on the same page. I'm not saying either one is right, they are both wrong, but you're coming from the "i have a shitty car so I dont give a shit" whereas I'm coming from the "i loved my car and I hate the people who park next to me and hit my fenders with their door" crowd.

Someone pushing your bike over or mine for that matter, is the same thing to me as the assholes who hit my car when I go out of my way to keep it out of their way. I'm not talking about those someone just parking, as I stated earlier, I'm talking about asshats who damage other peoples cars because they can.

If you're (not you, just for example's sake) a douche and park your bike so close to someone else's car they can't get into it, honestly, while it's not right, I can see why they would push your bike over. Why do you have the right to stop them from entering their vehicle in any manner when they aren't interfering with your right to enter or get on yours?

Edit to add: for the argument's sake, I am talking about using only one parking spot, not being a douche and using several to keep people away.
