Exactly! I'm honestly not buying it, either--he shot the three of them execution style, turned himself in, AND had a premeditated answer. If he actually cared about parking, he wouldn't commit a crime that would prevent him from ever parking again, and he certainly wouldn't have turned himself in.

I think the parking space excuse is a case of people accepting a narrative because it aligns with their beliefs/practices--i.e. the otherization of Muslims in America.
