What a doofus.

Btw, here's a vid link from Yahoo. You can see the sign he was vandalizing and the interstate in question.

Too bad the driver of the pick-up had to go through that trauma. I hope his insurance will cover the damage to his pick-up.

This is crooked shyster infested Florida.

The surviving family of this self-exterminated cockroach will sue the Florida Department of Transportation for a “jackpot justice” pay-out.

“The surviving family of this self-exterminated cockroach will sue”

I have no doubt about that.

I can hear the ambulance chasers now: They should have had safety railings to protect the “artists” who they KNEW would be painting graffiti.

Hmmmm... I just posted on another thread something about "at some point in time, people have to pay the stupid tax." Death penalty seems a little excessive for tagging, but the law of gravity is pretty easy to understand, and there's no stay of execution.

I only have a certain amount of sympathy, and I'm saving it for people like our soldiers who put themselves in harm's way to protect us, not to mess stuff up. Sympathy meter is pegged at 2 on a scale of 100.

"...we're gooey on the inside and you never know when it's gonna squish out." or something like that. Been a while since I've seen the movie.

Something similar happened here in Ohio a few years ago. I am not sure if there were lawsuits but there was a lot of whining about the poor “artist” lost.

‘may have fallen’ ‘can’t yet be certain’ ‘may have been’ ‘we don’t want to say’

I might have an opinion but I don’t want to say yet. I can’t be certain although when I first read the story I might have been.

nvestigators say the 28-year-old man was on a catwalk above the roadway

I expect taggers to be teenagers, adolescents, not fully grown men. That says a lot about this community and the culture that supports it when grown men have nothing better to do than risk their neck to vandalize a road sign.

I'm curious where he worked during the day.

If it was anti-Obama graffiti, I morn him, if it’s the usual blight, then I’m a hypocrite. :P
