[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP was naïve for thinking six eighth graders would go innocently play at a park at 10pm, the kids were typical dumb teenagers, deciding that annoying neighbors would be fun (who does this in the era of doorbell cameras?), and police resources were used to break up mischief rather than go after actual criminals, but the biggest problem by far is that this is a country where there are enough people who would shoot a gun at someone fleeing their home after ringing the doorbell that the police predict you’ll get shot for doing that. That’s extremely disturbing.[/quote]

It's also wrong to think that 13 year old kids are always up to no good and can't or shouldn't go out to play.[/quote]
But in this case they WERE up to no good. It’s disrespectful to knock on doors late at night and then run off. It wakes people (like babies!) up, it scares people, it’s just inconsiderate. And if any of those 13 year olds looked adult-like yet, especially if a POC…. let’s be honest, people are going to start getting more than a little scared. I wonder if that’s why the police were called.

Ding dong ditch is a game for 10 year olds during daytime. When it’s basically harmless. Not near- adults at 10-11pm. [/quote]
