Parking Space Vigilantes

I'm still trying to figure out why this story was even put out there. As a soapbox piece? It doesn't work as a revenge or power fantasy, really, and that may be part of what left me unhappy with it. Most of what I read from Gilman is fantasy, and this piece was set in the present day with absolutely no fantasy or science fiction bits at all (other than the idea that any law enforcement agency would permit volunteers to write tickets for parking violations, which I simply cannot imagine.)

The story isn't badly written at all, which is why I'm giving it two stars. It just wasn't satisfying to me.
