This guy gets our vote for ballsiest old man ever: 74-year-old Yan Zhengping, a retired language teacher living in Lanzhou, got sick of all the damn cars running red lights at an intersection in his city. So he went to a crosswalk armed with a brick, whacking at any vehicles that zoomed past him during a red light. He got 14. He told reporters that there were just too many instances of nearly dying while walking across the zebra crossing. Though he knew his actions were illegal too, he couldn't think of any other way to bring attention to the problem. It seems like it worked. According to the Lanzhou Morning Post, there are now police at the intersection keeping an eye out for errant drivers. Source: Xinhua (Chinese) more ›
