These kids aren’t bothering anyone… except for one person. They are bothering one singular person.
A jogger was captured in a series of videos where she appears to confront skateboarders and bicyclists. She’s accosting them for simply riding their skateboards and bikes out in public. Yes, this is frowned upon in some areas, but there are parks to practice in and plenty of benches and sidewalks to show off your skills. Since NYC is such a bustling place, it’s easy enough to skate or bike wherever you want without getting caught.
People will lament, “Why don’t kids play outside anymore?” But then some of them act like this woman. As the video shows, she could have easily hurt one of the skaters as she kept standing in front of their board. She’s making the whole situation 100 times more dangerous. And as you can see in the video footage, these skaters and bikers are truly just minding their business, skating in empty areas with no one around but this woman. If you were looking for the Fun Police, we found her! Check out the entire video to see just how she’s single-handly trying (and failing) to stop skaters and bikers.
