    That just reminded my of a time I highschool. One of the jocks called someone else a retard in front of a kid with downs syndrome. (Our 90s schools etiquette was you could use the word as an insult about someone who wasnt handicapped, as long as there wasnt someone who was handicapped to be offended by it which was kind of funny, because a couple of the kids who were loved calling people retards if they did anything dumb- which was what happened in this case. Jock immediately got called on it, then somwone asked the guy with downs if he was cool, and he said “it was pretty fucking retarded of him to say that, wasnt it”)

    Anyway, this led to a campaign of us stealing all the ‘slow children’ signs from all the summer neighborhoods (like 75% of our town is completely empty when its too cold for the beach) and posting them all around the jock’s house. Like at one point, ther was a line 30+ of them screwed the length of his fence, and the stop sign right at the end of his road had 4 on each side, lined up going to the ground.

    The n town kept taking them down and redistributing them, and we kept stealing them at midnight, and putting them bqck up.
