It would be a lot easier to just leave old 2x4s in the road.

Perhaps, but that really is illegal.

Ya know...... as a dad and a grand-dad, I understand! 2x4's in the road are illegal, a sign threatening death isn't. I'm with momma and daddy on this one.

I like to roll empty baby carriages on a rope out in front of speeding cars, then yank them back at the last minute so I'm not creating a road hazard. That's safer than 2x4s.

That's kinda evil... I like it!

I've been to Bakersfield many times (inlaws lived there once). I've heard similar comments in other neighborhoods there about speeders, those nice smooth streets are very tempting.

One thing about it, their sign has attracted a lot of attention toward the neighborhood speeder situation.

It's interesting though, there are speed limit signs in place that regulate the speed limit, but some people are ignoring those signs. Does that sound familiar?

But if the Federal Government made a law, making them "Speed Free Zones" everyone would obey them.

He could always set up a sound system in his yard. Get a recording of a .50 cal machine gun being fired, then wait for a speeder. I'm sure that would get their attention.

It might also just be that the sign itself calls attention to one's speed. People tend to not even register speed limit signs sometimes.

I think the sign could be just as effective without the threat and different wording....not to mention it's just one more thing that makes gun owners look 'extreme.'

(Seriously, do you think anyone speeding down the street thinks they'll get shot?)

I grew up in Bakersfieldand know the mindset too well. I wouldn't take it as a threat. It looks more like a psychic omen to me. Just Sayin'

His sign was clear. His intent is clear. People can govern themselves accordingly.

[Phillep Harding]

That "invisible rope" trick looks like a mind blower, for sure.

What does that mean? Who is governing themselves? Do you think drivers believe they will be shot? Or that the sign owner is serious about shooting speeders?
