We have kids in our town who skateboard/roller blade everywhere. The county courthouse, the high school, anywhere where there are steps and railings. The amount of damage is truly a sight to see. Who do you think pays for the fixes, MY TAX DOLLARS. Who pays the parents when these kids - most of which don't wear any protection devices - sue because little johnny got hurt on county/city/school property - MY TAX DOLLARS!
bingo.
Of course, I am a bit biased, as one of these little punk-@sses mowed my three-year-old daughter DOWN as we went for a walk about two weeks ago. Two skinned knees, a skinned forehead, and assorted bruises, and the little jerk didn't even stop or apologize.
