24th street idiots @ 2:30 am

[Spooned]

well... what can i say,

im sitting at the lights of anderson rd. and 24st when a full car pulls up beside me and my friend. The car had 2 kids in the back
seat, and 2 adults in the front.

Light goes green, both of us get going fine and dandy, and i see that in the other cars lane there is a whole bunch of shit on the
road (looked like construction signs and barriers) and as i got closer i realized that some dumbass kids(or dumbass pplz) had moved the signs
onto the right hand lane.

I gunned it to make sure the other car had room to maneuver without having to worry about me, but unfortunetly from what i
could see in my rear view, they didnt see it till they were right up close. There was no reflective tape or anything on the barriers
either. The "rightlane is close" sign is only so bright in the pic because of the camera flash. my lights didnt light it up very well
at all.

I stopped about 30 yards passed all this shit, to make sure that the other car was ok. They pulled up behind us and stopped.
They had managed to slam on the brakes just in time and dodge to the left lane inches away from this shit. Poor kids were crying
in the back seat. I called it in to the 24 hour police services line.

The fucking idiots who moved those things onto the road better go straight to hell. Thank god that family was able to get out of
the way.

on the other side of 24th street, heading south there was more of the same shit. I have some photos from my friends camera.
They are real shit quality but hopefully you guys can make out whats going on.

Northbound 24th street:
Can't see really well from this pic, but there are a whole bunch of barriers on the ground(not even standing up) in the
righthand lane.


SouthBound 24th Street:
WTF... Fuck you whoever put this shit here. ur gonna get someone hurt or killed.


both lanes are blocked... fuck you assholes.


i just hope that no one gets hurt tonight. be careful out there guys. now that i think about it, i shoulda just moved that shit off the road.
I was afraid that the second i touched the signs a cruiser would come outta no where and think i was the one who moved the
signs onto the road in the first place.

Sickening that people can be so inconsiderate of other human lives. Hope they get what they deserve.

[FiveFreshFish]

Good that you called the cops. Hope they got someone on it ASAP.

[WGR4Pussies]

wtf lol, trippy shit.

[SI-vic]

What fuckin' morons!
These stupid little immature kids will probably never get caught but I hope they are in a car accident right now with a broken spinal cord that will prevent them to walk or move again!

Good thing you called the police service and glad to hear everyone was ok

Nah, don't worry about GQ man. He didn't mean you. He, and the rest of us here, are just so pissed when we see stupid shit like that. Good call on calling the police, hopefully they sent someone there to clear that away. Alot of people probably wouldn't have stopped to check on the family either, so props for doing that too. As for the little punk kids who do that stuff, they need to get smacked upside the head, with one of those signs.

I don't know what time these pics were taken but I drove through there at 3:30 am last nite and the shit was still on the road...Scared the scap out of me...it was hard to see because of lack of reflective tape

[SRH]

Good to know the cops are doing their job!

[Skyline_Addict]

hmmmm, you're a good citizen for making sure they were ok and reporting all this!

some kids moved one of those big 'bold' signs out onto the middle of the road up here one night.

another night they took a bunch of construction barriers and stuck them on the main street near my house at about two in the morning.

took me half an hour to move it all. fucking kids.

[VetteRacin]

that is just horrible to think that someone would actually move those signs like that

[ryder_23]

Young immature kids do it all the time when their loaded off 1 beer. They use to do it in the westhills area all the time when 69th was getin changed to 2 lanes...pain in the ass, and its a bitch to see them.

Just outa curiosity, say if those signs are moved into the middle of the road, and you hit it and it caused damage, would you be SOL or would the cities insurance fix it because they didnt take proper percautions with the signs? Just curious is all

[DSM Power]

That was pretty decent of you to stop and check on the other car. Nobody needs shit like this but it does remind you to keep your eyes open.

[xkon]

i remember at the co-op in oakridge i saw some kids moving stop signs... i got out of the car and started yelling at them... things like that really piss me off

[BebeAphrodite]

things like this are as stupid as vandalism...
there's art work at u of c inbetween machall n the science link and someone a few weeks afterit was completed drew over part of it in thick black marker..
both are disrepectful.. this makes me as angry as i was when i saw the ruined art

[method]

this is far stupider than vandalism. removing a stop sign can get somebody killed - it's happened before.

kids do stupid things, and people let it slide to a certain degree, but not like this.

time fer a lynchin.

Here, I brightened the pic a bit so you can see a bit better.

Pretty disturbing when kids think its cool to put other people's lives in danger. If they want to be idiots and endanger their own lives that's one thing, but to others is fucking stupid and cowardly.

[cloud7]

I bet it is done by the same type of people who thinks throwing things from pedestrian overpasses down to the traffic below is cool... stupid people.
