Chris Rogers, the creator, explains how his laser toting, night vision & camera equipped paintball robot beast capable of firing 20 rounds per second could save lives …and it kind of makes sense.

Those wonderful folks offering to repaint the automobiles of neighborhood speeders are now onl the Web -- TheAngryNeighbors.blogspot.com -- and on Twitter -- http://twitter.com/AngryNeighbors -- and the message is getting around.

Wired folk from as far away as Raleigh and Oxnard, Calif. have enquired about getting their own warning signs like those that appeared yesterday on Markham Avenue in Duke Park. (See photo below.) And a TV report on the signs is linked from The Drudge Report and CNN's Web front pages.

And even the Durham Police Department has responded. According to TheAngryNeighbors, "They state that 46 hours of police activity resulted in 64 citations being written" in the area near the signs.

Not everyone is amused, though. One nose-out-of-joint paintballer commented in an email to a neighborhood group, "If my vehicle is shot, some heads are gonna roll."

Bull's Eye received the photo above in Moanday's email, sent by a self-described "small group of neighbors who have reached the limits of our patience with the city's inability, some might say unwillingness, to address this issue" of speeding in residential sections.

The angryneighborwithpaintballgun@gmail.com goes on to say that the sign is meant to make speeders aware "our patience is at an end."

Whether snipers are actually in position to put their paint, now, as Dirty Harry said, you've got to ask yourself one question:

"Do I feel lucky?"

Well, do ya ... ?

Three options for the first weekend of April.
