Whitney Stump of Muncie, Indiana, couldn’t get his local government to paint a crosswalk at his local intersection, so he painted it himself. Then the city threw him in jail for 10 days. Now he’s sworn to finish the job.
Stump, a 27-year-old Ball State University graduate student and father, says he was arrested once on a charge of criminal mischief for creating the crosswalk at the intersection of Dicks and North streets. He was arrested a second time when he went back to touch up the paint.

Do you just like the guy’s scarf?
i thought the same thing. nice coat/scarf combo. although the cap is up for debate.
but seriously props to this guy for taking matters into his own hands. it seems like it’s almost worth getting a permanent record over this kind of thing, since he seems to have support from the community. if anything, a permanent record for trying to HELP the community is distinguished.
Heh. I could use a speed bump in front of my street. I wounder what his daily rate is? I’ll even promise to post his bail!
