Skateboarders are proof of how easy it is to otherize random people, make their physical presence an issue, and then deputize random citizens to protect private property to the extent that this woman tries to injure this guy several times. https://twitter.com/skating_probs/status/1384869944572141569

What’s the reason why it’s so hard to skateboard in public places? Skateboarding isn’t “classy” it’s a “nuisance” and it apparently does harm to curbs and guard rails, I guess. The way you enforce this is to convince random ass people that any of those things are criminal.

You can make a person that isn’t doing anything illegal into a criminal very easily

I’ve now seen three different videos of this specific woman harassing people in lower manhattan and I’d like to wish her a very get a life
