Trouble is, all those "horrifying accounts of poisoned candy and fruits booby-trapped with razor blades and needles" are urban legends, spread energetically by "Christians" who don't take the 9th Commandment too seriously. They never happened. There has been ONE confirmed case of a child being poisoned by candy on Halloween, but it turned out the child's own father had done the deed, thinking he wouldn't be suspected on Halloween since "everyone knows this happens all the time" -- police knew better, however.
Trouble is "all" means "all", not "most." Even one of the so-called religious tolerance sites had enough candor to admit that there were indeed "some" factual cases of tamperings. (Granted, most reported cases, according to their site, proved unfounded.) Adulterated Halloween Candy And it is uncharitable to malign "Christians" for engaging in this behavior, when there is enough blame to go around. Paranoia at large is only natural, following the tylenol tampering case.
Vandalism, however, is a major concern and, if anything, is probably grossly under reported. (Most of my Halloween crimes against property as a pagan youth were never reported.)

Your unproven opinion, spoken as fact, is nonsense.
