i know it sounds wacked, but it's not the first time someone's done something extreme because they thought it would be better in the long run...

when i was growing up, back in the early 90's, i used to street race a Ford Mustang on Francis Lewis Boulevard in Queens. there was a man that lived on that street that grew tired of the cars, and the things that the cars brought to their neighborhood. so, one night he took it upon himself to pour oil on Franny Lou as everyone called it, to try to get people to stop street racing there. well, needless to say, the end result wasn't pretty. the end result was a 20-year old racer getting killed, and the man being charged with second degree manslaughter, but he was aquited of those charges a year later...

if you don't believe me, here's a link from The New York Times archive about it, and it just comes to show you what some people will do to "better" something...

and here's another link from The Queens Tribune, that described Franny Lou and what goes on there, and also describes what happened that night with this quote, "In 1987, local resident and insurance broker Andrew Romano tried to take matters into his own hands and was charged with second degree manslaughter when he poured oil on Francis Lewis Boulevard to stop people from racing – and ended up killing 20-year-old racer Ken Miret, whose car spun out of control and ran into a tree. Romano was acquitted the next year, but the case has become a famous example of the racing on the Boulevard."
