'I cut off the boot in front of the HOA member': Boss and employee rally entire neighborhood against overzealous HOA

If you're crafty enough, you'd never let something like a boot on your car's tire stop you. You'll have to have a devil-may-care attitude, plus access to some pretty powerful tools. This person knows that all too well, as they shared in a story to the r/AmItheA****** subreddit. 

Putting a boot on someone's car is no laughing matter. Instead of writing a ticket or even snapping a photo of the license plate to report to officials, this HOA decided to stop this dude from driving! Now he wouldn't be able to get to work, or go food shopping, or get to a doctor in an emergency. It's a really serious thing to do,  especially for a minor issue like "illegally parking" somewhere. That's why this person wanted to ask if they were actually in the wrong for bringing their boss the tools to get that boot off. 

In the end, the HOA seemingly made things worse for themselves. As commenters noted, it'd be feasible to vote out the current members and put in new members who have more reasonable views.
