Well, you broke the law. You knew skateboarding there was illegal, and you did it anyway. If you don't think it SHOULD be illegal, that's fine. But it is.As someone who's had to deal with more than a few dicks who decided it's cool to slam their skateboards as loudly as possible onto the concrete right next me (because that makes them all rebellious and badass and shit) -- not to mention all the idiots who have slammed into me because I won't move when I'm appropriately walking along a sidewalk -- I'm having a trouble mustering up sympathy for your plight.
Journalists are being detained, assaulted and murdered all over the world for reporting on important things in incredibly dangerous environments. You're whining about spending a night in county for skateboarding.
What do you think about the ban skateboarding on the 16th Street Mall? Skateboarding in general?
