Good! I find the squeegee kids to be a nuisance and irritation, and I'd be more than happy to see them gone.

"squeegee workers"

Careful, the mayor will find your disappointment with the squeegee kids breaking the law to be racist.

SMH.

I have had to deal with squeegee people before in Baltimore years ago. I polite said "thank you" and moved on. When I was in the mall area in DC, I bought water bottles from the workers. They made an effort to lug that heavy packs around and sell them to me. It was fair.

Read some other threads and there appears to be some squeegee sympathizers.

Back around summer 2006 there was a guy selling Gatorade, water and white socks in the median on naylor road. I couldn’t pass it up Gatorade and white socks.

There is a distinct difference between a person trying to make an honest living by providing a wanted/needed service… and a thug life who demands that you pay them for an unwanted intrusion into your life, or risk damage to your property or injury to yourself. A HUGE difference.

The thug lifes hiding among the squeegee kids, are the problem here. It does none of us any good to ignore that fact.

Never ran into someone I thought was a thug as long as I can remember squeegee kids. Never had one threaten either. Prefer them (and the water guys) than those that come to the car and just want money

The squeegee bucket is also the urinal. Not my idea of getting my windshield "clean".

To keep an eye on your car while you're away.

Would it be a hoot to hook up an electric fence power supply to your auto. Use a plastic switch flip it on when they approach and when they touch your auto wipers or any metal surface suprise!

We did it to a door in high school big wooden door with brass handles.

Had an old friend do this to his car using a spare car battery to keep people from leaning on it. Had a nice blue spark traveling around the body for a brief period of time,

The shooter's attorney's may claim "self-defense" but Maryland has no "stand your ground" law. The shooter was obligated to flee, used excessive force, and probably didn't have a carry permit. Apologize for the bold print. Could not remove it.

To be clear I am not pro squeegee, but the "victim" in this case was an idiot
