  Can we set up a crowdfund? If this guy is getting charged $2,500 for making his community safer??? I’d throw down $10 for him, and hope everyone would do the same.

  Kevin Cox, you’re welcome in my community if you ever want to move to Cleveland. That being said, don’t move to Cleveland. Your house is probably nicer.

    Kind of sounds like they are just out to get him because he keeps protesting the lack of crosswalks

    He also reportedly wrote an email to Charlottesville’s city manager which read: “There is a marked crosswalk now [at the intersection in question] in spite of you … It’s chalk[,] not paint[.] Please replace it with a real one.”

    A police report that Cox shared with the news station alleged that officers were unable to determine whether his improvised crosswalk had been created with permanent paint.

    Like he explicitly told them it was chalk and also you can just look at it
