This was on go skateboarding day, luckily i didnt receive any of this treatment. But do u believe skateboarding is a crime and your opinion of the video.

Okay, well, I can't watch the video. But skateboarders have been taking crap for a really long time. I don't see the issue of why skateboarding isn't allowed. I think that as long as they are responsible (not jumping strollers or something) that it shouldn't be a huge issue. If they get hurt that should be their own problem and they shouldn't hold the city accountable. They could be doing much worse things.

The video is remarkably biased. The skaters were breaking the law. Period. If you break the law, expect to be punished by the enforcers of the law.

And clearly it didn't show from the beginning. The cop most likely warned them numerous times before being forced to handcuff them. And did you not notice when the kids were trying to struggle from the policemens' grasp? How thick-headed do you have to be to do that? And then have the nerve to try and gain public sympathy through the internet? Or possibly to seem like cool rebels? Pathetic!!

Sorry, I'm firm believer in the law when it's reasonable and disallowing unruly kids from becoming public disturbances is perfectly reasonable to me.

As to why skating is illegal? It's a disruption! Do you know how annoying it is to be near roadkill from reckless skaters?

There are skate parks for a reason. Stay there and stop trying to be rebels.

Aren’t you a skater, katt?
I still remember your old username something like ruggedkatt? Something like that.

IMO, Skateboarding is perfectly okay as long you don’t ruin any property. If there a place designed for skateboarding, do whatever you want.



Honestly, I don’t like the sign saying, “no skateboarding”, because I skateboard and do not do any tricks that damage the property.
