Tatamy to Discuss Ban on Skateboarding
The Express-Times reports (read the article here) that Tatamy Borough will be discussing expanding its skateboard ban from borough property to all public areas including streets, sidewalks, and alleys.
Freakin Id#&$t politicians. I shouldnt be surprised. There are kids who skate across from my house all the time and although the noise is loud, they are nice, polite and well meaning kids. I think the police dont need this distraction, it drives a wedge between their relationship with these youngsters. Now, they will have to ticket them, take their skateboards, whatever.
THe line about protecting them is a crock,and I challenge them prove its not. It makes no sense to allow them to skate at a park and not down the street like someone on a bike.
Does this mean if my 5 year old son is riding his scooter on my sidewalk he will get a ticket?!
Good thing Tatamy is a small town because I see these politicians all the time and my my vote counts for sure here.
I kind of chuckled at the thought that a skate park keeps the kids from skating on the streets (as the article suggests) when a few weeks ago I was at the park with my kids and a flock of skaters came careening down the middle of broad street north bound to the park---
it was quite a sight for my kids to see---and fortunately they all turned into the park entrance without incident on the road which is quite dangerous in that area
Yes, i guess it is humorous in a way how the politicians answer to everything is to pass a law. I think they actually belive it will help. My guess is that the mayor was getting pressure from some people who he knows and told them he would pass a bill to take care of it. It they dont want the kids to skate at places like the Mason's Lodge, then you dont need a new law to take care of that, but to pass a broad sweeping NO SKATING ANYWHERE law is ridiculous.
Is riding bikes next? I challenge the mayor to find an incident when someone got hurt riding a skateboard down the street. I know of an incident within a block of the mayors house where a young kid, about 8 was hit on his bike by a car.
I dont want to reserve to name calling but what a bunch of mental midgets.
