News from my birth city -- seems graduate student Whitney Stump at Ball State in Muncie, Indiana, complained for a long time to the city that people weren't stopping at the signs at the four-way stop outside his home, putting his children in danger. (I hear that one -- at least he had signs.)
As he said, "If they're not going to provide a safe environment for me and my community, then I believe I have a moral obligation," so he bought some paint on sale at WalMart and painted a crosswalk on the street to slow people down.
Naturally, the city's response was clear. They jailed him. That'll show him what it costs to arrogate the government's power to oneself!
