Jim Valentine lumps gay people and pedophiles together. And he doesn't want
any of them living in Idaho.

That's what northbound drivers on Pleasantview Road see when they drive past
the sign for his landscape supply and horse-boarding business, Dixie
Services.

"Don't fruit with Idaho kill yo-yo boy" is the message greeting southbound
drivers.

According to Valentine, "yo-yo boy" is his nickname for convicted killer and
child molester Joseph Duncan, who killed three members of a Coeur d'Alene
family and allegedly abducted two children from the family home so he could
rape and molest them.

"People are kind of numb. I think they need to wake up a little bit," said
Valentine, who drives classic cars emblazoned with the Confederate flag. One
has a horn that plays "Dixie."

The father of eight said he was inspired by the "Kill Duncan" bumper
stickers he has seen around town. Valentine said he believes he's speaking
on behalf of others in the community who are "afraid" to speak up.
