Title: "Illegal Alien Crossing" Signs Pop Up in Naples

Not to make outrageous, blanket statements like "White people in Naples are generally closed minded idiots unaware of cultures and the world at large outside of their sunny little resort town bubble," but let's just say after having grown up there I'm not surprised at this latest news. An oddly official looking sign erected at a traffic light that connects a largely Hispanic trailer home community to a shopping center read "Illegal Immigrant Crossing." The Collier County Sheriff's office quickly took it down and are looking for the culprit, even as commenters on the local newspaper are laughing at the sign and chiding police for "wasting" time.

The cross walk and red light were recently installed on Radio Road in Naples after a woman was hit and killed trying to cross the street. The Naples Daily News reports it connects a, "connects a largely Spanish-speaking mobile home community with a shopping center." WINK news reports, "Residents in the area say their community is made up primarily of illegal immigrants." (Some actual reporting on that issue would have been nice, instead of finding a couple of unnamed "residents" to support the claim, but ok.)

Earlier this week a sign popped up underneath the crosswalk sign that read "Illegal Alien Crossing." It looked professional, save for the fact it was a shade or two brighter than the original sign.

While the Hispanic community is outraged, unsurprisingly a good number of Naples residents are getting a kick out of the stunt:
Anonymously, some are congratulating the pranksters and calling the incident funny. Hundreds have posted comments on the Naples Daily News website about the stunt, with many supporting it and calling for a crackdown on illegal immigrants.
Comments like this:
If it were me, I'd turn myself in - and let a jury of my peers decide which "crime" is worse - illegal alien immigration or EXPOSING the TRUTH about it.
Seems like someone needs a reminder in how the legal system works.
I think this is great, this guy just put up what everyone is thinking. The american people have had enough of it, even if the politicians aren't on board. The CCSO shouldn't be investigating this, I want my tax dollars spent on fighting crime, not the possible infringing of civil liberties of people that have no right to be here in the first place. Come on CCSO lets try to work on more important things.
Yeah, like illegals give a blasted about following our Country's rules, they will cross wherever they want, "we don't need no crosswalk!" This sign was a great idea but unfortunately the audience it was intended for will not benefit from it, thanks CCSO
I am not a an anti-Latino bigot, like so many here are, but I LOVE to see people expressing themselves in creative and humorous ways. It sure beats being preached at or yelled at (or spit on or called racially biased names)

The relationship between morality and liberty is a directly proportional one.

Rather humorous and probably a pretty decent reflection of reality actually...not exactly a high level crime. Where's peoples' sense of humor these days? Shish!

Maybe the LE are merely posturing tough and serious because their mayor or chief of police is Hispanic and is miffed???

Really, but we know the Left is humorless. Look at what PC has done to SNL and attempts at humor by Hollyweird.

While the Hispanic community is outraged,

Why? If they are legal immigrants, or natural citizens, why would it bother them in the least? If Columbus Ohio were infested with illegal immigrants from Scotland, I'm pretty certain a sign like the above would still make me giggle, despite being part of the "Gaelic-American" community/identity/whatever-pinkies-would-call-it.

Seriously, the most dour, angry, bitter, sniveling, condescending groups of people to trod the earth, reside on the left.

When I was taking a mandated "social sciences" course in college, the TA was going on about Playboy's response to some irrelevant feminist's request for them to debate her at some bum-f*cked lefty feminist conference, about how they were degrading women and encouraging rape and blah blah blah blah. Playboy responded with something along the lines of "blow me, b*tch" printed in big letters across two pages of their magazine. The TA told it like it was some mortal sin that we were supposed to gasp in horror at. I laughed, out loud (not LOL! but for real), it just struck me as a wonderfully humorous response from the magazine. I was pulled aside as class was leaving and grilled by the TA, a stone faced, flannel wearing "I like womyn" type. Never stopped laughing.

That class brought down my GPA a bit. heh

Having a sense of humor will be a crime soon too. Laughter will be verboten in the Fourth Reich.

I'm a goner.....lol

Bump to #7

Thanks for the wonderful example of the Humorless Left. Have you ever considered what movies (Animal House) and books (Uncle Tom's cabin?) would not see the light of day today? I often thought that would make for good topic on a typical no news weekend night.

Unfortunately, there are very few "no news" nights these last 18 months.
