Maybe the signs will have to start wearing blaze orange or bright yell'er. This poor man probably thought it was a deer

Ohhhhhh my LORD. This can't be true. A Jersey man shoots something and gets caught. Thats not how I remember NJ. Maybe there are too many stop signs. Maybe he is responsible for all the other ones. Good job NPD, eventhough he must have turned himself in.
