city neglects skatepark so police threaten to shut it down

[SlopeBeet]

You call me a troll and then invite me to this video? You really need help. I make a single comment on that video and you harass me endlessly. You need to get a life

[Reggieworth]

"harass me endlessly"

actually that describes you & your friends

"and then invite me to this video"

did i? im happy to hear all opinions

so, will you actually be commenting on the video?

you dont seem to comment on your own video either, so what exactly are you hoping to accomplish?

if you noticed in this video, skateparks are often taken care of by the skaters & bmxrs that use them. i dont beleive the incidence of vandalism in skateparks is any different than vandalism in any city park

[Reggieworth]

"You need to get a life"

lol, i just took a screenshot of your video comments, you know the one where you kept claiming i didnt answer your question

you asked me to comment on something & i did several times so you banned me because of your insecurity

its ok, i have come to expect that sort of thing from you. its pretty funny how most of your youtube comments are about me & not the various videos you comment on. i know you are in love with me but im into girls so sorry bud, look elsewhere

[SlopeBeet]

Good. It shows you didn't answer. Which is why you were banned.

[snaffoo21]

Scummer skaters ruining a skate park the city built for them.

ASAB All Skaters Are Bastards

[Reggieworth]

@snaffoo21

loool!

[shooter348]

I wonder how much trash the police picked up?

[AndroidBattleTrooper]

"Skaters would skate. Druggies would do drugs."

You mean there's a difference?

[Reggieworth]

yes, the hint is in the name

skaters also might drink a beer, would you then call them an alcoholic? [im asking you because i know you are an expert in alcoholism]

[AndroidBattleTrooper]

@Reggieworth If there is such a difference between skaters and druggies, why didn't the skaters call the police to have the druggies removed or arrested? By allowing the druggies to be there, the skaters gave their approval for this type of behavior.

[Reggieworth]

"why didn't the skaters call the police to have the druggies removed or arrested"

how do you know they didnt?

"By allowing the druggies to be there"

how do you know they did? maybe the cops didnt come

furthermore, any skater who has already dealt with prejudice actions by police would be wary to call police in such a situation. it is an invitation to be harassed, police are known to find things wrong with any person they come into contact with

[100kLemmy]

@Reggieworth" police are known to find things wrong with any person they come into contact with"

The cops were right once when they caught the drunk fuck Android driving around looking for a transvestite trick for the evening.

[AndroidBattleTrooper]

@100kLemmy YOU would call the police if someone took your parking spot. That's the kind of pussy that you are.

[Reggieworth]

now now android, dont get sore just because you were caught drinking & cruising for transvestites. klem is just trying to explain to you that not everyone will call the cops for minor issues. perhaps its becasue the trust in police has been eroded by the abuses of power & the same lack of respect for public opinion that you so eloquently espouse

if police want everyone to call them when any crime is committed they will have to regain that trust

[AndroidBattleTrooper]

@Reggieworth "you were caught drinking & cruising for transvestites"

Prove it.

[Reggieworth]

"Prove it"

right after you prove the skaters never called the cops on 'druggies'

"a minor issue"

when it is. you dont keep up with the news huh? no surprise considering you are illeterate

"YOU consider drugs to be a social problem"

not just me

"The law says otherwise"

at one time the law also said that two men kissing should result in jail time [or worse]

archaic drug laws are changing as have attitudes toward users. however, there is no effort to 'legalize' drinking & driving

[AndroidBattleTrooper]

@Reggieworth "you dont keep up with the news huh"

All the time. I'm always hearing about drug dealers getting arrested on those "minor" felony delivery charges.

"not just me"

That's true enough. Okay, I probably should have said you and the other druggies of the world.

"at one time the law also said that two men kissing should result in jail time [or worse]"

And you see how that law changed but it's still illegal to do drugs.

[Reggieworth]

"If the shoe fits" your shoes say 'bigot' on them. your lack of proportion destroys your credibility "All the time" so the whole cannabis as medicine just passed you by huh? ever hear of mdma for post traumatic stress? how about ayahuasca? "you and the other druggies" lol, and the legistlators. you are really upset over it huh? "still illegal to do drugs" not for all those card carrying patients in your own state, wake up loser "Strawman" its not, look up the term and find a new hobby TROLL

[AndroidBattleTrooper]

@Reggieworth  "so the whole cannabis as medicine just passed you by huh?"

Cannabis as medicine is one thing. Cannabis as recreational use is still illegal in most parts of America. Another bullshit analogy from you. Nothing new here. "and the legistlators"

You mean the legislators that are still keeping it illegal in most parts of America?

As usual, you miss the point. I could really care less if they legalize marijuana or not. I'm just explaining the laws to you.

[Reggieworth]

@AndroidBattleTrooper

btw. i reiterate my suggestion that you buy yourself a good quality dictionary or at least learn how to use google to look up words that you dotn understand

you consistently misuse terms, must be embarassing considering you think you are intelligent

that wasnt an 'analogy'

"a form of reasoning in which one thing is inferred to be similar to another thing in a certain respect, on the basis of the known similarity between the things in other respects"

it was an example

[AndroidBattleTrooper]

@Reggieworth "however, there is no effort to 'legalize' drinking & driving"

Strawman argument as always.

[AndroidBattleTrooper]

@Reggieworth "right after you prove the skaters never called the cops on 'druggies' "

Did I ever say that I can prove it? No, I never did. It's my belief that they never called the police. If they did, I doubt the police would have talked about shutting the park down.

[Reggieworth]

"If they did, I doubt the police would have talked about shutting the park down"

wow, you are such a hypocrite. its clearly stated that the police were upset about the garbage

"It's my belief that they never called the police"

yet previously you seemed convinced the ddint

"why didn't the skaters call the police..."

you even implyed they condoned it

"By allowing the druggies to be there"

"definitely not worth the time to call the police"

you are finally getting it. there are many reasons why

[AndroidBattleTrooper]

@Reggieworth "its clearly stated that the police were upset about the garbage"

And your own words in your description box stated that the police wanted to shut it down.

"yet previously you seemed convinced the ddint"

I am convinced. Do I know it for a fact? No. When did I ever claim that I did?

"you even implyed they condoned it"

It sure seemed that way to me the way the one skater was talking.

[Reggieworth]

"And your own words" for the garbage. listen to the vid "I am convinced" yes, i already know you make up your mind based on prejudice & biased assumptions "It sure seemed that way to me" so you admit it then. good "Here was my complete comment" yes, and my assertion still stands. why are you whining? "do these regular parents think" there are people doing drugs all over the place. would you rather parents keep their kids at home? smart parent teach their kids to fend for themselves

[AndroidBattleTrooper]

@Reggieworth "there are people doing drugs all over the place. would you rather parents keep their kids at home?"

So you're saying that the only options parents have these days are to leave their kids around other people who will most likely be doing drugs or to just keep their kids at home, right? It must suck for kids in Canada.

"smart parent teach their kids to fend for themselves"

Smart parents don't leave their kids in those kinds of situations in the first place.

[AndroidBattleTrooper]

@Reggieworth "ah, i see, so is that why you turned out this way?"

Yep. That's why I'm a responsible adult who owns a business and is now a fire cadet.

"your parents sheltered you from all possible dangers huh?"

No parent can do that %100 of the time, but responsible parents don't leave their kids around idiots who are openly doing drugs. Drugs are currently illegal in this country. Drug addicts bring all kinds of undesirable

[AndroidBattleTrooper]

@Reggieworth and dangerous factors with them wherever they go. With the exception of marijuana users, drug addicts tend to engage in theft, burglarly, fraudulent activities, and often times violent behavior. So much for your theory of drugs being a social problem. Any parent that would knowingly allow their teenager to be around this type of environment should lose all parental rights.

Do you allow YOUR kids to be around persons who are doing drugs?

[AndroidBattleTrooper]

@Reggieworth "you are finally getting it"

Except that you deliberately omitted certain portions of my comment.

Here was my complete comment:

"Yeah, because it's definitely not worth the time to call the police when some punk is doing drugs in a designated youth activity area, right?"

[AndroidBattleTrooper]

@Reggieworth "no surprise considering you are illeterate" 

You shouldn't accuse others of illiteracy when you don't even know how to spell the word illiterate yourself, dumb shit.

[AndroidBattleTrooper]

@Reggieworth  "klem is just trying to explain to you that not everyone will call the cops for minor issues."

When was the drug problem in America a minor issue?

[AndroidBattleTrooper]

@Reggieworth "i thought about banning you again"

Go ahead. I can go to plenty of other videos.

[AndroidBattleTrooper]

@100kLemmy "Android driving around looking for a transvestite trick for the evening"

Prove it.

[AndroidBattleTrooper]

@Reggieworth "any skater who has already dealt with prejudice actions by police would be wary to call police in such a situation. it is an invitation to be harassed"

And here was their one chance to be seen as law abiding citizens.

"police are known to find things wrong with any person they come into contact with"

If you're doing nothing wrong, the police can't find something that is not there.

[Reggieworth]

"their one chance to be seen as law abiding citizens"

they are already "seen as law abiding citizens" by most people. your bigoted opinion isnt really relavent & certainly is not consistent with the vast majority of society

"If you're doing nothing wrong"

you need to watch a very informative video called "dont talk to cops". a career cop explains just how a police officer can find fault with pretty much anyone because they are trained to AND the number of statutes is so outrageously bloated

[Reggieworth]

"What people?"

regular people, like the parents who buy their kids skateboarding gear & line my pockets

"multi-thumbed cop hating bigots"

that describes you & your friends

"Why?"

becasue its called 'research'. if you watched the vid you would see that you dont need to have a 'problem with cops' for them to find things to detain & arrest you for

"Not when people are doing drugs"

why not? will the drugs jump & attack?

"YOU consider drugs to be a social problem"

as do most health professionals

[AndroidBattleTrooper]

@Reggieworth "regular people, like the parents who buy their kids skateboarding gear & line my pockets"

And do these regular parents think it's okay for their sons and daughters to be around other persons who are illegally consuming controlled substances? If they do, then they are not responsible or good parents.

You can call drugs a social problem all you want, but the fact of the matter is that they are illegal in pretty much every state in America. That's a criminal problem.

[AndroidBattleTrooper]

@Reggieworth "if you watched the vid"

I have, and I have heard not one skater complaining about the cops. The one skater said that the cops warned them about the trash and explained that the area could be shut down as a consequence. Big deal. That's the job of the police. This skater, who appears to actually be responsible, said that he will do everything in his power to make sure that he holds up his end of things.

As usual, the only person who's whining about the police is YOU.

[Reggieworth]

"fact of the matter is that they are illegal"

due to prejudice & that prejudice is being quashed

"warned them about the trash and explained that the area could be shut down as a consequence"

thanks for contradicting yourself & showing that my assertion was correct

"I guess that you're next reply"

you guessed wrong

"still illegal"

not for long

"As usual, you miss the point"

i didnt, you are the one blaming them & trying to make out like the skaters are bad because of another group

[AndroidBattleTrooper]

@Reggieworth "due to prejudice"

Boo hoo. They're still illegal.

"thanks for contradicting yourself & showing that my assertion was correct"

No, I just exposed your prejudice and hatred towards law enforcement again.

[AndroidBattleTrooper]

@Reggieworth "police want to shut it down because of trash building up"

When did the police say they wanted to shut the park down? The skater that was interviewed never made that claim. All the police did was explain the consequences of leaving the trash lying around. Keep on distorting the facts.

[AndroidBattleTrooper]

@Reggieworth "1:07"

At 1:07, Steve states that the cops have said that they will enforce the trash issues, that if the park continues to be trashed, it will be shut down. The police have explained the consequences of trashing the area. That is their job. So what does Steve do? He makes sure that the area stays clean. Steve appears to be a responsible young man.

So again, I will ask you: At what point do you hear ANYONE complaining about the police? Steve sure isn't.

[AndroidBattleTrooper]

@Reggieworth "the city should service it."

Your opinion. Do you know what the ordinances and zoning rules are for this particular area? My guess is no. I don't know what they are either, but then again, I'm not going off half cocked and bashing the police for doing their job.

As usual, you are looking for any opportunity to spew your hatred of law enforcement.

[AndroidBattleTrooper]

@Reggieworth Go ahead and ban me. It will only serve as proof that you are afraid of me destroying your argument. That way, you will be able to attack me without response. At that point, you will be the only one posting on this channel. It doesn't look like anyone else finds this vid even remotely interesting.

[AndroidBattleTrooper]

@Reggieworth I guess that you're next reply is going to be: Have you ever seen a skatepark without trash?

[100kLemmy]

@AndroidBattleTrooper" If there is such a difference between skaters and druggies, why didn't the skaters call the police to have the druggies removed or arrested? By allowing the druggies to be there, the skaters gave their approval for this type of behavior."

Not everyone is a cop calling little bitch nark like you Android. Your grandma should call the mountain view PD to have you removed from her house for loitering there for 34 years and eating the poor old womans food. User/Loser????

[AndroidBattleTrooper]

@100kLemmy "Not everyone is a cop calling little bitch nark like you"

Calling the police is what a responsible and law abiding person does when they see a crime being committed. The skaters could have told the druggies to leave. If this didn't work, they could have called the cops. Calling the cops could have saved their skate park.

Of course, I would never mistake skaters for responsible or law abiding persons.

[Reggieworth]

"when they see a crime being committed"

maybe, IF they actually think the 'crime' is worth calling the police for

"Calling the cops could have saved their skate park"

the skate park IS safe

you really dont pay attention do you?

"I would never mistake skaters for responsible"

we already know you are a bigot, but thank you for confirming it. another bigoted statement like that and you will be blocked

find a new hobby loser TROLL

[Reggieworth]

now now lemmy, if androids granma wants him to eat her food thats perfectly all right

and you are correct, not everyone would call the cops for a minor offence, especially one that is not really a criminal but a social problem

you are also correct about android being "a cop calling little bitch nark". he confirmed it today with his comment to you about "Calling the police is what a responsible and law abiding person does when they see a crime"

i wonder if he called the cops on himself? lol

[AndroidBattleTrooper]

@Reggieworth "not everyone would call the cops for a minor offence, especially one that is not really a criminal but a social problem"

YOU consider drugs to be a social problem. The law says otherwise.
