You sound like the NIMBYs that use coded language about “quality of life” to enforce segregation. Maybe that’s your natural political inclination? The progression here is that you will next start complaining about cookouts in your neighborhood.

Who’s the politician who’s on your side here to try to criminalize and arrest these kids? Whatever you think is happening is not happening. If you cannot tolerate living in a city the best thing about this country is that you are afforded abundant choice.

It IS criminal. There aren’t enough cops nor means to arrest. That’s why it’s a hellscape worse than Mad Max. And the funny thing is that it looks so
Pathetic. What fool can’t ride a glorified tractor when police can’t chase ya?

“Mad Max”. As I keep saying, you have lost all perspective and cannot be taken seriously. My recommendation is to either get a grip or move.

Also, these are not “kids”. Look out the window.

So here are things that will happen regardless of whether there’s a politician PP describes (there are and there will be more) if things don’t change: no statehoood, even greater income, health, prospects, life expectancy, learning gaps IN THE CITY (none of us are moving to the suburbs). So who pays? You know the answer.

What does “red state pastime” mean exactly and why is political party relevant here?

I’m curious also what you characterize as “race baiting”. Is it not true that your grievance is about the recreational activity of Black kids in your neighborhood? Or is it white kids who you are complaining about? Race is always present and relevant to questions of policing in this city. Interesting that you think pointing this out is “race baiting”. You must be one of those people who like to say that anti-racist activists are “the real racists”.

NP. Anti-racist "activists" are in face real neo-racists. Ever more people of goodwill are starting to realize that.

You folks keep telling us who you are and I hear you loud and clear.

No. You are one voice and you are wrong. We are liberal and diverse people who care more about the kids than you ever could. Please take your deep self-shame and demagoguery elsewhere

“Diverse” doesn’t mean one of your friends went to Bates and another went to Davidson, or your 23 and Me report says that you are 2% African and 3% Middle Eastern.

“Diverse” does not absolve you from race and class privilege.

“Diverse” does not address the regulatory obstacles and loopholes that need to be closed with outcomes that you may not like (some e-bikes getting equally banned) and how that gets enforced equitably.

“Diverse” also does not absolve you of clearly racist dogwhistle motivation.

Surely all these riders have insurance for the risks they are causing to pedestrians and motorists. But yup, it’s just a racist dog whistle. PP, you are the reason why we can’t have nice things.

How is that different from white teens driving souped up monster trucks in middle America?

NP here. Monster trucks and Middle America are far outside my area of expertise but I'm guessing they do what they noisily do much farther from people's bedrooms than our own ATV-riding yokels.

The election is coming. Vote.
Our current leadership could care less about this - until there is a random shooting and toddler killed because of it.

I know. In light of the Buffalo shooting it is honestly scary to see someone posting about “real neo-racists”. We should be concerned that this is a threat of violence against these kids by a white supremacists.

You are as wrong as you are relentless. I sense an overweight, aging self-hater with lots of issues…

Point is, this is about ATVs and other illegal vehicles terrorizing neighborhoods. Not about the one lone whiner

This is an important clarification. I understand now that it is not the vehicles per se, that’s why you don’t care about the loopholes. The problem is how you feel about the operators. You feel terrorized by them. I’m not sure that this can be fixed by government intervention.

Demagoguery through and through. Enjoy while it lasts.
