WideMenCantJump
Usually it's either liability, if someone falls and hurts themselves on your property you may be liable or property damage 1/2
Doing grind tricks on ledges or curbs can cause a bit of damage. Neither of which justifies this bullshit obviously
Lostchild12
Bits add up fairly fast. Granite and street furniture looks like a war zone.

Some skaters are actually unreasonable. Not this time but I have seen some fucked up videos.
MrKristy
That's just some people in general though, nothing to do with that population.
BearToof
Eh, I was a skateboarder as a teenager and the majority of the skaters I knew were kids that would antagonize others (> the gen population)
So I’d argue that, from my anecdotal experience at least, they are worse. However, it’s old and weak evidence.
You are right.
ReverseTrapTsukasa
Some people believe that due to the hard wheels, the breakdown of cement and asphalt are accelerated and because it's their tax dollars
It's the ones that do tricks on non-pavement with the bottom of their boards that do growing damage. Snow plows damage far more up here.
wa27
Fat people shouldn't be allowed to walk on sidewalks then.
I didn't say they were right, only that that was what was being believed. Frankly people believe to much without evidence.
Of course, that wasn't directed at you personally! :)
Please note: I am a fat people...Though I believe the down votes on the earlier comments are because people think it's my believe and not
no one should be allowed on the pavement with such destructive toys, was how it was explained to me years ago...never took up skateboarding.
Note: That's what was explained to me. I never saw any evidence that said it was correct. Personally I don't believe it.

He is old enough to have watched Kids in the 90s. He should know better.

Notice that no one assumed he may have learning difficulties. Think about why that might be.

Something is off, but the way he stands still looks sober. Definitely some balance/coordination issues though...

Kayback
Guy looks like a dick. Are boards allowed on pedestrian paths though? I've had cyclists try the same thing because "the road is too busy" >
Kllrc7
They need to ride the sides so they are out of the way of cars. You ppl are the reason they ruin street traffic
storebrandproductmascot
In many/most places in the U.S. they're called shared use paths or multi use paths, and non-motorized vehicles are allowed.
If they are shared use then fine. But currently here we have this whole cyclist awareness campaign, pass wide 1.5m gap, be aware of cyclists
Then the cyclists run people off the pedestrian only paths because they feel safer bullying pedestrians than being in the road.
TheAncientSea
Who cares? It doesn’t justify attaching people
Sasurau
I don't know depends what exactly are we attaching them to. I could get behind attaching some to Space-X rockets to fire them into the Sun.
So they block up the walkways and make life dangerous for pedestrians.
girlsdontp00p
In small towns it doesn’t matter cus no one is on the walkways anyways. Especially in the summer
pistachiofarmer
In most places roads are WAY to dangerous for skating, so in parks it's normal to see skaters on sidewalks.. looking at the quality of 1/?
The video and the old was flip phone I'm sure this is from a long time ago before skating started to get banned in parks. No a days 2/?
Kids just kinda go for it wherever, sidewalks, pavement, parking lots. Before getting kicked out. It's really hard to skate anywhere 3/?
Without someone complaining, for no reason. Skating just has a bad look for people who don't do it..again..for no reason. It's sad.

cars dont take too kindly to cyclists, i can't imagine they would like skateboarders, besides you could lose balance and kick your deck out

Knee caps and elbows
IllBeDamnedifIGotoHell
Yeah a friend of mine was skateboarding on a sidewalk this summer and this local started screaming at him from his car. My friend tried to
Defuse the situation but the oldish guy got out of the car and started physically threatening him. Luckily another guy we knew was around,
And he’s huge, looks like a psycho, and has a big deep voice. Things deescalated quick when he turned up.
Rather they feel entitled to their outrage because "them damn punk teens are up to no good"
Shrap95
Back when I was a kid I think it was even worse than now. Most people hated it I was villanised just for skateboarding.
Was pretty bad, yes. "Fuckin skater" was a regular term from most. Now it seems more like a trendy fashion statement.

TBF, skateboards make a lot of noise. But rather than pick a fight I just peek out my window and mutter "fuckin' kids" under my breath.
We'd stick to parks/skate parks, parking lots after closing, schools... At night we didn't bother skating suburban areas. Nothing fun there.
thesixmilliondollarman
I remember being verbally abused on by an elderly neighbor for skateboarding when I was 10. I was too young and respectful to react 1/2
but I’m 44 now and I he’s long gone. I’d like to think that he’s a janitor at a skatepark in hell. 2/2
Hopefully forced to hear kids practice their powerslides on super slick concrete.
Zigor22
Isn’t it breaking a law if there are “no skateboarding” signs?
If anything, mostly an arbitrary bylaw enforced by independent business owners because groups of kids can be intimidating to clientele.
If they're being aggressive, vandalizing, being loud... I can see not wanting them around. We just liked to skate and have fun. No foul.
Other issue I can see is if you lose control of your board or lose your balance and accidentally hurt someone.
Yeah. I think that's more of an individual asshole kind of thing. Anybody arbitrarily risking others safety, is a dickhead.
It's gotta be exhausting, being pissed off and 'offended' all the time.

Millennial blogger that cancels you and destroys your career and your future, and then forgets about it in a week. Fuck our generation.
And then we have cancelculture, ruining you because of something you said a decade ago. Sure it ain't the same, but you can't sue tweet mobs
neochiken1
A million times this, we have shitty and good people in every generation
Absolutely. It all depends upon what actions achieve the most attention. The internet has given every voice a free amplifier.

He was functionally assaulting minors. Regardless of the legality of skating in a park, hitting a minor is a big no-no.
totallynotthefbibro
I was surprised to see no one punched him..
tesseract4d2
Fuck it being a minor, and he wasn't "functionally" assaulting anyone. He assaulted a person. If this had been someone his own age it would
eh, I got used to phrasing things in a non-definitive manner a long time ago. but it's like "Accused bank robber", He's on CAMERA doing it!
Be just as bad. Don't play it as if it's only a crime because he tried to hit a kid.
BlahBlahBlacksheep555
This brings up the question: If you're being attacked by a group of minors, can you fight back?
SophieClockwise

Yes, they assaulted you first and you must defend or extricate yourself
I imagine you are allowed to defend yourself, as long as don’t go overboard with excess force.

Is that a real question? Do you really think that you would not be able and allowed to fight back with in reason?

Yeah, but who thinks they are supposed to die, or suffer major bodily harm just because a group is compiled of minors?

That's because sober you knows life has consequences and acts accordingly. Drunk you doesn't care.

No, assholes just act in their natural manner when drunk.

As a drunk, "The drunk man does as the sober man thinks." Being an asshole makes you an asshole. Drink is not an excuse.

Knowing it’s being videoed and the cops are on the way, not engaging and letting him dig his hole deeper is the best approach.

Yeah man, there are some real psychos out in the world. Picking fights with strangers is a great way to meet them.

Hi!

Skateboards make great weapons. I was really hoping to see this dude get twatted by one.
DonnieOttway
Brother fried used his skateboard trucks to bash in some kids head. Gave him permanent brain damage. Only takes one swing.
MoccaFruit
I think it ended better this way though.
Skizzlesnap
I thought it was going to end the way it did in the movie “Kids”. With Casper smacking the guy in the face with his board.
noomunderscoretv
We called it a truck fuck
Cthornbe
I was looking for this
obelisksarecool
yeah i thought thats how this was gonna end but im glad no one got hurt
CTlawman
Um, I don't usually associate stomping with skateboarders. Maybe I just don't know the right skateboarders.
theeAndikrist
Skaters are fit, coordinated, and don't fear pain
SemperCallide
Watch the movie “Kids” Or just look up the skateboard scene lol

obelisksarecool
usually they’re pissed and breaking their own/each others boards
Thresholdpush
I ran into pricks like this when I was a kid. Never were we breaking the law, being loud... Some people are just looking for conflict.
zimirken
Yeah why aren't you inside making old people wonder why you never go outside
SecondSince
Their life turned out shitty so they have to take it out on others. It's kind of sad.
Monka42
I did too, I learned real fast it's okay to knock a grown man out if he's trying to grab you.
IusallypoopwhileImonhere
The cranky lady down the way told my neighbour when he was young she’d call the police for him skateboarding in his drive way
WizardHarryDresden
You know what you gotta do right? Break her knee caps
IusallypoopwhileImonhere
She used to check our back yard for dog poop to turn us to the condo board. Once my parents were on vacation and I called the police.
WizardHarryDresden
Knee caps and elbows
IllBeDamnedifIGotoHell
Yeah a friend of mine was skateboarding on a sidewalk this summer and this local started screaming at him from his car. My friend tried to
IllBeDamnedifIGotoHell
Defuse the situation but the oldish guy got out of the car and started physically threatening him. Luckily another guy we knew was around,
IllBeDamnedifIGotoHell
And he’s huge, looks like a psycho, and has a big deep voice. Things deescalated quick when he turned up.
WizardHarryDresden
Rather they feel entitled to their outrage because "them damn punk teens are up to no good"
Shrap95
Back when I was a kid I think it was even worse than now. Most people hated it I was villanised just for skateboarding.
Thresholdpush
Was pretty bad, yes. "Fuckin skater" was a regular term from most. Now it seems more like a trendy fashion statement.
Billy2sweet
My names Billy, wanna wrestle?
RVAALLDAY
Have these people everyday at work some people just want to be mad at someone/thing
HatinS8N
These guys are the ones that vote trump.
CouchCarrot
TBF, skateboards make a lot of noise. But rather than pick a fight I just peek out my window and mutter "fuckin' kids" under my breath.
Thresholdpush
We'd stick to parks/skate parks, parking lots after closing, schools... At night we didn't bother skating suburban areas. Nothing fun there.
thesixmilliondollarman
I remember being verbally abused on by an elderly neighbor for skateboarding when I was 10. I was too young and respectful to react 1/2
thesixmilliondollarman
but I’m 44 now and I he’s long gone. I’d like to think that he’s a janitor at a skatepark in hell. 2/2
Thresholdpush
Hopefully forced to hear kids practice their powerslides on super slick concrete.
Zigor22
Isn’t it breaking a law if there are “no skateboarding” signs?
Thresholdpush
If anything, mostly an arbitrary bylaw enforced by independent business owners because groups of kids can be intimidating to clientele.
Thresholdpush
If they're being aggressive, vandalizing, being loud... I can see not wanting them around. We just liked to skate and have fun. No foul.
Zigor22
Other issue I can see is if you lose control of your board or lose your balance and accidentally hurt someone.
Thresholdpush
Yeah. I think that's more of an individual asshole kind of thing. Anybody arbitrarily risking others safety, is a dickhead.
Thresholdpush
It's gotta be exhausting, being pissed off and 'offended' all the time.
pc404
Dad?
IMayNotKnowWhatIAmTalkingAbout
It's a self gratifying masturbatory session. The more tired you are means the harder you worked. Which means more fulfillment.
CryptBeast
Not to mention 50, overweight, and badly out of breath after the first swing.
MERGATROYDER
Baby Boomers are a hell of a thing.
Wastedalmond
Oh, but our newer generations have this as well, they just do it on twitter.
MOfitserov93
Adult trying to beat up a kid vs Millennial blogger...... can’t really equivocate that one buddy.
Cooter961relaxitsakindofturtle
I would rather take a half assed assault than have a bunch of crybullies ruining my career
Grizy
Millennial blogger that cancels you and destroys your career and your future, and then forgets about it in a week. Fuck our generation.
Wastedalmond
And then we have cancelculture, ruining you because of something you said a decade ago. Sure it ain't the same, but you can't sue tweet mobs
neochiken1
A million times this, we have shitty and good people in every generation
Thresholdpush
Absolutely. It all depends upon what actions achieve the most attention. The internet has given every voice a free amplifier.
strcmdman
And we generally get just shittier and more jaded as we age why being excellent to each other is so important.
Excalibastard
He is the one who called the cops too lol
Rezol
From his point of view he I guess he was acting in self defense when he was trying to hit the kid. It's scary how delusional an adult can be

I love how the kid reacts. Doesn't back down but doesn't escalate. Skate or Die you cunt fuck.

Not his first rodeo.

He handled it very well. I might've hit the man with the board

kojenk
Is he drunk with the way he's moving?
Monkeyfighter
He is. He ended up getting arrested, if I remember right.
VIadimirTarasenko
It’s... it’s in the video...
Monkeyfighter
I saw the original on youtube a while back, didn't rewatch the whole gif, my bad.
slightlyugly
Probably just an adult with no fighting skills and never been in a fight in his life except for ocasionaly beating his wife
PaperplateKiller
I dont know man, you get pretty good practice from that
PirateofthePancreas
I’m pretty sure the video is fake
PirateofthePancreas
Downvotes? He’s filming a man just walking around
slightlyugly
Why?
PaperplateKiller
Because it be
PirateofthePancreas
Because someone is filing this old man walking around
slightlyugly
I assumed it was the skateboarder's friend who was filming him performing a trick and the old man ran in the shot.
InTheDistanceAPlaintiveEnglishHorn
What and the cops didn't kill the black guy?? Police are getting lazy!
TheHandleImFlyingOff
Looks south Asian

They ran out of bullets, shot too many black guys on their last call

While in handcuffs, “What about disturbing the peace?!” https://youtu.be/x_fQD84BI88
VIadimirTarasenko
Lol adding charges to himself? He’s totally disturbing the peace and drunk in public hahah
TehAccountant
cops: "weird flex but ok"
Nuclearun
He was functionally assaulting minors. Regardless of the legality of skating in a park, hitting a minor is a big no-no.
totallynotthefbibro
I was surprised to see no one punched him..
tesseract4d2
Fuck it being a minor, and he wasn't "functionally" assaulting anyone. He assaulted a person. If this had been someone his own age it would
Nuclearun
eh, I got used to phrasing things in a non-definitive manner a long time ago. but it's like "Accused bank robber", He's on CAMERA doing it!
tesseract4d2
Be just as bad. Don't play it as if it's only a crime because he tried to hit a kid.
BlahBlahBlacksheep555
This brings up the question: If you're being attacked by a group of minors, can you fight back?
SophieClockwise
trikucian
Yes, they assaulted you first and you must defend or extricate yourself
BearToof
I imagine you are allowed to defend yourself, as long as don’t go overboard with excess force.
InspiredUser
I'm just going to fight a bunch of of anyone
wittyandcharmingnamenoonehasthoughtofyet
Is that a real question? Do you really think that you would not be able and allowed to fight back with in reason?
BlahBlahBlacksheep555
Laws can be very strange.
wittyandcharmingnamenoonehasthoughtofyet
Yeah, but who thinks they are supposed to die, or suffer major bodily harm just because a group is compiled of minors?
wipethatfaceoffyourheadbitch
Cue the video of that guy choke slamming the little abusive shit in the park.

madeaweirdcommentchangedmyname
Kid had it coming. Was it a little extreme? I think so. But don't make checks you can't cash, I suppose.
ArrowheadCosplay
It wasn't extreme. He told the kid multiple times to get lost and stop touching him
madeaweirdcommentchangedmyname
True, but at the same time, it's still a kid.
LanceCorporalBadger
Wait, what?
gorillamanjones
Witness the glory - scroll to the bottom of the page for backup video. Kid was all game until he got planted.
LanceCorporalBadger
Thanks!
wipethatfaceoffyourheadbitch
You can see that poor old man immediately regretted that decision just because it was a kid. The little fucker had it coming though.

He looks drunk.
Monkeyfighter
He is. If you watch the whole video, he is very much drunk.
BabyRabits
Pump your breaks brosephine, that man is Phillip Gurney, he’s the only person to ever get a perfect score of 88 in camel whispering
ButterfaceTaintClown
he looks like an asshole. being drunk doesn't make you an asshole. it makes you drunk.
Darkspire
Overlap is very common between those two things.
vezlys
Really drunk people often act inappropriately and nothing like "themselves" though.
JollyWatson
Eh, I've never gotten into any arguments and fights while drinking and I used to get black out drunk a lot
DestRoyals89
You probably cheat and blame it on booze too huh? Lame ass excuse.
angryregistrar
That's because sober you knows life has consequences and acts accordingly. Drunk you doesn't care.
Arakki
No, assholes just act in their natural manner when drunk.
xMalkav
As a drunk, "The drunk man does as the sober man thinks." Being an asshole makes you an asshole. Drink is not an excuse.
landcfan
I hope you are getting the help you need.
thorkild91
As a drunk I disagree
xMalkav
Look, you lot can make excuses as long as you want. If you behave like a shitty person, it makes you a shitty person. Own up to your faults.

Chronic consumption of a large amount of alcohol disrupts the communication between nervous, endocrine and immune system and...
AlecMyBalls
That's such an overused expression and it can be right or completely wrong. A drunk person says or does whatever comes to mind at any point
thorkild91
Drinking is not an excuse for behavior but long term alcoholism does alter thought patterns even while sober
