Now it's the people going to the politicians, before it was supposed to be the politicians inventing things to mislead the public.
So the shopowners followed the law by appealing to their elected officials, the politicians followed the law and listened to their constituents, the town established a law, the cops did their job in enforcing the law and in enforcing the law they followed their own rules involving force and arrest.
The only people that broke the law were the skateboarders. But the skateboarders are scapegoats.
Following that logic, the public shouldn't enact No Skateboarding ordinances, they should just wallop passing skateboarders over the head with a shovel. If they get arrested for that demonstration it will be unfair because they're just scapegoats. Q. E. A.
