Skateboarding Is Not A Crime. In Fact, It Makes People Eat Apples!
The only sour note during the 3-5 p.m. LOVE Park skate-in came when a skateboarder fell during a trick, sending his skateboard into the foot of a Philadelphia narcotics officer.
It was clearly an accident, but the officer deliberately sat down on a bench that kids were doing tricks on and proceeded to eat an apple v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y while holding her nightstick in her other hand.
That’s nice, because sometimes when you go to the zoo, they’ll spit the apple pieces all over the place, and that makes kids cry. Zing! But let’s be fair:
“I heard that Mayor Street, who banned skateboarding in LOVE Park, was named one of the worst mayors in America by Newsweek,” [Erik Ellington] said. “I heard that Mayor Daley, who welcomes skateboarding in downtown Chicago, was named one of the best. You think there’s a connection?
Totally. Dude, have you ever played Dark Side Of The Moon while watching The Wizard Of Oz? Do you think there’s a connection THERE, MAN? Dude, don’t walk away! Where are you going? Aw shit.
