The Charlotte rally was the former president's first public campaign event since President Biden's exit from the 2024 race and since the assassination attempt on Trump.

Looks like a boycott is brewing. More right wing cancel culture in action. How stupid do you have to be to park in a private lot with signs saying towing enforcement for non customers next to Bojangles Coliseum-ie a stadium? The Fox coverage does not match the local news outlet cover. $380 cash to get your car! Guess it was not free parking.


Local coverage.

Many we talked to claim the employees gave them the green light to leave their cars there while they attended the rally.
“They said we could park,” said another.
“The managers inside promised them they could park here,” Zandar DeSoto said.
We talked to the on-duty manager this morning, and they said:
“I told several people they cannot park here. We have a towing-enforced sign. That’s my statement.”

Fox News does not let facts get in the way of fake outrage.

The manager probably collected $50 or $100 cash each tow s/he called in. That's how these predatory towing scams work.

It isn't predatory when the area had huge signs and people ignored them.

Yes, it is. A parking ticket is at most $50 to 100. Predatory tow companies will steal your car and shake you down for $400-500+ and often pretend they can't find your car and tack on predatory extra fees. All cash.

The name of the towing company is Gotcha Towing & Recovery.

So much for the party of law and order and personal property rights…

City parking enforcement can't give out tickets on private property like shopping center parking lots. Private towing is their only recourse for people parking illegally, and absolutely no private towing company is going to send a truck for $50.

Yes, what many tow companies do after they have your car is reprehensible and predatory, but that's a separate issue. The actual system of towing from private lots is not predatory at all when all parties have been informed of the rules and consequences.

If you park somewhere and there are large signs saying you will be towed, then that isn't predatory.
If you park somewhere and it seems a little sketchy but ok, no signs, and you get back and there is no car, but a piece of paper taped to a fence that says, your car is at XXX address, that is predatory.

Trump voters keep showing that they think that they’re above rules, too.

“That’s my statement.” - sounds like the manager might have sandbagged them.

I'd bet anything the manager made lots of cash off this. The tow tipsters get cash kickbacks, otherwise, why would they care. They don't own the lot or building.

How ignorant can these rally attendees be? Bless their hearts, they really are taken in easily.

The tow truck drivers make money per tow. They have contracts with businesses. They drive past those businesses and wait.
This can’t be news to people posting here. Arlington va is notorious for this.

Honey, you're describing capitalism.... Isn't that what your side loves?

Trump is probably in on it with the towing company, getting a share of the fees. He's a smart businessman.

If you have a drivers license, then you are able to see letter, read signs and possess a modicum of a functional brain. If one tries to store their car on someone else's property, when there are signs explicitly warning that illegally parked cars will be towed, then it isn't stealing. Please show me a law anywhere in the USA where such would be considered stealing.
