'Dead Cripple In Wheelchair' Sign Sparks Outrage in Florida

Some say it is a sign of the times, while others believe it is a sign of ignorance. And some think it's a sign that people will go to any length to offend.

A business in Ocala has a billboard that most people can't believe. A sign for an auto repair shop and a fence company has a marquee that makes fun of disabled people.

The sign reads: "What has 4 wheels and flies? A dead cripple in a wheelchair."



The company that put up the sign calls itself the “Good Guys,” although some people say they aren’t good guys at all. This isn’t the first time the Good Guys has irritated people with messages on their sign.

Another sign they had posted said, “Take your ex out tonight, one bullet oughtta do it."

This has unsurprisingly led to confrontations. There are news videos here and here.
