Hollywood bans adults, teens from playgrounds unless accompanied by child
Miami Herald ^ | 1/11/2015 | Sun Sentinel Staff

Posted on 01/11/2015 8:06:48 AM PST by HomerBohn

(Hollywood police say there have been problems with adults hanging around Anniversary Park. Hollywood commissioners approved new rules last week that would require adults and anyone over the age of 13 who enter city-owned playgrounds to be in the company of a child 12 and under. Susan Stocker / Sun Sentinel File)

If you're hanging around a playground without a child under 13, don't be surprised if a cop asks you to leave.

In a bid to protect children and the swings they play on, Hollywood commissioners agreed last week to ban adults and teens from the city's playgrounds unless they're in the company of a child age 12 or younger.

Has it come to this?

Homosexuals and pedophiles (same thing) have made a trip to the park for kiddies a dangerous adventure.

The media doesn't spell this out due to the political correctness that protects perverts from being called perverts.

This has been an ordinance in NYC for some time now. If it’s a playground, you’d better be with a kid.

Enforcement of this law may lead to some very entertaining court cases.

But entertainment is what Hollywood is all about, right?

...

Officially, that’s not why they are doing this. Mostly teens are hanging out in the parks and this new rule will give the police the authority to tell them to leave.

Yes unfortunately it has come to this.

Our society has become so liberal and politically correct that we can’t name the elephant in the room. In this case, the elephant in the room are perverts who seek out children. Are we still allowed to say perverts or does that get you banned???

That's a problem in my neighborhood occasionally. We've cleaned graffiti of the playground equipment several times. Sometimes children of 10-13 age will try to swing on the toddler swings. It amazes me that they'll do it right in front of an adult ... and they're shocked when I give them the laser-eye and say firmly, "You know better than that, young man. Get down from there - that's for babies!"

Of course.

Can't draw attention to the main reason for this: trying to keep homosexuals away from our children!

When they want to have sex, have abortions, or "come out as gay or transgendered," they're not children. When they kill someone or get killed, they're children.

You make a good point.

The homosexuals are after teens as well.

This is another liberal solution that looked good on paper.

What are they going to do? Fence in all playgrounds and have guards at entrance booths? Then, will they charge fees to enter those guarded parks?

Or as they say to 14 yr olds in NYC:

Here’s your Plan B pill kid, just don’t wash it down with a big soda or have a cig after sex.

you know a lot of these teens have been abandoned, beaten, molested and are immature, if they want to hang on the swing, I don’t have an issue with it. If they are picking on kids, they need to leave.

So has Hollywood finally ended the gay casting couch the makes lunchmeat out of child actors?

Such a horrible double standard in law “enforcement”.

Liberals want to guard the city parks from illegal entry but don’t give a damn about the national border.

down is up, wrong is right
