What? Sic a drone on them? Crash a helicopter over them? Don't get it.

Public shaming and pillory: "getcher overripe tomaters hea'r! tar! feathers!" (but remember. only if the use of petrochemicals is somehow involved. no pillory for biker running the red)

You are a rich white guy, do whatever you want.

Yes. Yes, we can do this. But we probably won't.

Looks like a bunch of people littering with some pre-staged sheets of paper covered in post-its.

Can we start firehosing idiots who ride their bikes without helmets (in flagrant violation of traffic laws) ?

Action against bike-lane parkers needs to be something you can accomplish more quickly than this. I try to always carry a white china marker with me when biking. A little pointed graffiti on the windshield and/or driver's side window gets the message across and is gratifyingly annoying for the driver to remove, but causes no permanent damage.

These guys had a better prank here:

Yes, because bicyclists definitely should be a protected class, just like the disabled.

Can we start firehosing idiot commenters? @6 we are looking at you.

@6 can I start running down jaywalkers? Jaywalking is illegal...

Better yet @11, I wish to reserve the right to run down anyone who annoys me for any reason whatsoever, because it's entirely possible they might be doing something illegal. I'm sure our resident trolls would all approve.

@11, jaywalking is illegal in Seattle, but not in many other large cities. As long as the pedestrian isn't obstructing traffic when they cross, a lot of places don't care when or where a pedestrian crosses.

@13: I believe jaywalking is indeed illegal in most cities (in the U.S., at least), just not enforced.

@14, major cities in the US, including New York City, simply redefine jaywalking. Walking against the red light when there is no traffic, as an example. Major metropolitan areas in the US are permitting what we here in Seattle would refer to as jaywalking. Enforcement isn't the issue. The orderly flow of people and vehicles can be maximized when pedestrians are not forced to cross streets at specific places and times. More and more cities, even here in the US, are beginning to realize this simple fact.

Granted, in these cases, when there is a pedestrian/vehicle accident, the pedestrian is automatically assumed to be in the wrong. But that goes hand in hand with the whole concept of crossing when there is no traffic.

Title 34, Section 4-04, Subsection (b) of the New York City Administrative Code:

(1) No pedestrian shall enter or cross a roadway at any point where signs, fences, barriers, or other devices are erected to prohibit or restrict such crossing or entry.

(2) No pedestrian shall cross any roadway at an intersection except within a cross- walk.

So, in NYC, signs, fences, barriers, and intersections excepted, jaywalking is perfectly legal.

Dan, remember when you read Jon Ronson's book and professed you were going to do less public shaming?

I'd love to see what the Stranger would do to the massive pedestrians who crowd the bike lanes in NYC; there's no room for bikes, because so many pedestrians are using them.

What a douche!

Suspiciously easy 'installation.' Where was mr. parking asshole all that time? And why wasn't he ticketed for littering, or for driving with blocked window?

Notice how the talking-head/'announcer' kept almost elbowing the face of the red-headed woman?

Moments later he ran over three pedestrians and a cyclist because he couldn't see anything. The crowd continued to cheer.
