These kids aren't just kids, they are adults. They have been on my property as well. These kids, which are actually teenagers, and adults are a bad influence to our future generations. There is supposed to be an event scheduled for the townships children in replacement of trick or treating. It's sad that the elderly, and others are so afraid of being terrorized. However I don't believe this is the answer. These children and adults who do these crimes should know better, but they aren't going to learn until they are caught. The sad thing is that someone's kids, or the adult is going to seriously get hurt one day if they mess with the wrong house. This has got to stop. Back in my day, which wasn't to long ago, if we were caught on someone elses property we would get ourselves shot at. If we were caught stealing our parents would whip our rear-ends, and make us return the items. The sad part about this is that these hoodlems aren't going to stop terrorizing just because we took trick-or-treating away from them. They are going to be even worse. They are just going to continue to be the same, if not worse than they already are. Be on the lookout, we really need to come together and start a neighborhood watch for the area. This really needs to stop, these kids need to be taught a lesson. They need caught and put in a facility, a military school, or whatever it takes to get them to stop.

Really. There is nothing, whatsoever, that I can eloquently state about this, but more because there is nothing more, whatsoever, that it deserves to be said. No, really--I'm just absolutely baffled. Then again, Halloween candy is routinely impregnated with razor blades & LSD, you know. Maybe I have to rethink this, after all. This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Really.

How can you live in a society, rise to a position of any prominence in that society, and be completely ignorant of its mores and customs? This is like Michael Jackson being surprised that anyone would have a problem with him sleeping in the same bed as other people's kids. I don't understand how people can be this stupid.
