No, the grammar is wrong. It's hard to notice, but there is an apostrophe in retards. So it says Caution Retard's in Area, as in be careful of the in area of the retard. Even ignoring the lack of a colon after caution, the retard could have made a better sign.

It could be Retard's as in "Retard is in Area". That probably wasn't their intention, though.

Perhaps there are more than one stupid mongoloids in the area, therefore it is unecessary to make &quot;Retard&quot; a posessive noun. Or, more likely the redneck in question is using Retard as an adjective, to describe the activity. Either way, the redneck is correct.<br />

When an apostrophe is used with a noun like that it makes the noun possessive.<br />

Sadly, the sign makes more sense than the first sentence of the article:


A cardboard sign hanging in a tree, directed at a boy with developmental disabilities, and the boy's mother, isn't happy.


Yep. It's a very unhappy sign.

You mean like the unnecessary comma in that sentence?
edit: I should have read the whole sentence. You've also got a split infinitive

Technically the split infinitive is considered grammatically correct, though frowned upon.<br />
