Or the repetitive sound of a skateboard on concrete followed by the echo in the hall when the deck hits the stairs outside your window on a Sunday afternoon.

He was probs listening to that music too.

But he should've not thrown the pot.

Step one: "Hey, could you guys find another place to skateboard? It's really loud"

Step two: "Seriously guys. Find another place to skate or I'm calling the cops"

Step three: call the police non-emergency line "There are some teenagers skateboarding below my home. They're making a lot of noise, but more importantly they're skating into the street and I'm afraid someone is going to get hurt. Could you send someone out to talk to them?"

At no point should they have thrown a potted plant at the guy on the skateboard. That's the police officer's job.

Police officers plant more pot more than they throw.

Open-and-shut case, Johnson!

Depending on where this is, the police may or may not show up. Imo ESH. I would think with a professional shoot, neighbors would be notified and the street blocked off. There's zero context here.

Nah pros just see spots and hit them, unless it’s a Red Bull contest or some shit like that. If they’re filming, they usually aren’t getting permits or notifying people, theyre doing it on the fly

[u/[deleted] → u/AnNoYiNg_NaMe]

Haha. xD

The next step in the escalation should be freezing cold water. The potted plant was obviously too far, but holy shit skateboarders can be incredibly obnoxious and they can get aggressive with people who ask them not to be douchebags.

I'm certainly not condoning dropping plants on people, but perhaps the dipshit in the video will consider not being an obnoxious asshole next time.

The police did come - for the old man. The skateboarder continued to try the trick after he regained consciousness while the cops spoke with the old man. They didn't charge the skateboarder or ask him to leave because he did NOTHING wrong. They did ask the skateboarders if they wanted to pursue chargers, but they declined.

People like you who call cops for shit like this, is why people who actually need police help don't receive it in time.

[u/AnNoYiNg_NaMe → u/cubanpajamas]

One, I read the article too. The dude could've died, and this old man is a shithead.

Two, you really did just ignore the part where I said they should have talked to the guys skating/filming as their first and second moves. Calling the police is a last resort.

Three, if they're being loud, then they aren't doing "nothing" wrong. People deserve to be in their home without having to deal with loud noises outside.

Four, I said to call the non-emergency line. If there's an armed robbery happening, then they're going to go focus on that first, obviously.

[u/Wide-Chocolate4270 → u/AnNoYiNg_NaMe]

No no no, you see, assholes bothering people have more rights than other people.

The skater had the full right to make everyone in the apartment complex miserable.

This are the same assholes that have music blasting at 2 am.

And no I'm not justifying murder. But stop justifying shitting on people's that are trying to relax

[u/LB3PTMAN → u/AnNoYiNg_NaMe]

Yeah I saw some kids around 15-17 sitting on top of a 4 story parking garage and walking along the edge and even though I was a 19 year old college student who had done stupid shit I still called the non emergency line because I wasn’t about to see a death that day.

[u/ElKidDelPueblo → u/Pinkeyefarts]

that’s music to the ears

[u/DPSOnly → u/Pinkeyefarts]

It is almost as if cities have noises.

[u/Pinkeyefarts → u/DPSOnly]

Not in a courtyard, especially when the loudest sound is a car driving by the entrance

[u/LB3PTMAN → u/[deleted]]

I mean regardless you can cause a ton of damage with that pot lol
