I don't care who you are or if you're a part of my community or not. If you're acting the fool, you deserve whatever karma's coming to you. It is, however, up to those within said communities to police our own, so if you see someone off-roading and tossing their trash wherever, camping and not putting their campfires out, or hunting and shooting without a care of what's behind your target, then we gotta call that bad behavior out.
Because if we don't, these folks will just continue to do whatever they want and make all of us law-abiding (mostly) citizens look like these freakin' dorks.
So when I came across the video below, which shows a group of motorcyclists pull up to a red light and block an intersection's crosswalk, I was annoyed because, come on. Then I watched the rest of the video and I had to both laugh and applaud the awesome work the crossing guard did, bonking the riders on the head and telling them to get the hell back.
Dude, you're my hero.

As you can see, the group of riders just enters the crosswalk and stops, blocking any sort of pedestrian path to the other side of the street. That's when our hero walks in, jumps onto the backs of two motorcycles, and proceeds to the far end to start his bonking procession. He then goes down the line of motorcyclists who all, stunned, begin backing the hell up.
I can't hear what Bonking Man tells the riders, but I figure it's something along the lines of, "What the hell are you doing? This is a crosswalk. Can you not see the crosswalk marks? Are you that freakin' stupid?"
According to Reddit's sleuths, this happened in Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic, and this dude does this a lot. Unfortunately, this probably wouldn't work in the United States, as someone would get pissy, pull a gun, and it would turn into something stupid instead of just owning up to your mistakes. I wish it would, though, as this country would be a far better place with a little bit more shame.
Maybe we can start importing Bonking Men to the US, but spread them out so they bonk more than just idiot motorcycle riders...
