This sounds more like a secret attack on the french and their engineering abilities.

Fascinating story and comments.

Howdy, y’all, from way over yonder in the heart of hillbilly heaven.

Observing from afar from atop the Ozark Plateau.

Current home of a wandering Disgruntled Old Coot residing in a shanty amidst the ridges and hollers of a locale where road-kill ‘possum stew Ma cooks up in the kettle in the front yard next to the old Chevy lawn ornament perched on concrete blocks.

Yeah, over yonder on the other side of the awesome Sierra Nevada range and even the Rocky Mountain High impediment to horse and buggy travel.

The ongoing plight of the Valencia swing has been monitored and reported upon locally:

As an ex-East Bayer I still miss Herb Caen’s column and engorging myself with Red Java House double cheese burgers on a sourdough roll.

So much for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. While we’re at it we can kiss freedom good-bye too.

As a fourteen-year-old living in the area, I quite enjoyed the swing.
However, because we DON’T live in a perfect world, I think it’s better that it has been removed. Most of the people using the swing were completely unaware of their surroundings and would hit people passing by, which is not okay in the least bit. If the swing was put up again, I would be totally fine with it, and would probably swing on it if there was no one nearby for me to crash into.
But if I saw one of these terrible people everyone keeps mentioning, swinging recklessly and JUST BEING AWFUL…
Stupid fun-killing people.
It’s because of the people who abuse the swing that it even became a problem.

If you have somehow reached an age at which you are capable of reaching a keyboard without learning of the accomplishments of those three musketeers of sophomoric practical jokes, Jak Meoff, Mike Hunt, and I, Nosmo King, then you are hardly worthy of education. Besides, it would spoil some excellent future fun at your expense!

Hipsters didn’t even put up the swing u idiots. I think anyone who got hit by this swing should get some sort of darwin consolation prize for walking around without using common sense and getting hit by a swing.
