Fight at Fall for Greenville Caught on Tape; More Ammunition for Permanent Teen Curfew

Fight at Fall for Greenville Caught on Tape; More Ammunition for Permanent Teen Curfew | WSPA

Quote:
Thousands of teenagers packed downtown Greenville this weekend causing a huge disturbance after an Upstate festival. Check out the video from Greenville surveillance cameras.
Greenville City Council will consider an ordinance Monday night to set a permanent curfew on some teenagers in the downtown area.

On some teenagers? Who are the some? That makes no sense to me unless the some are all unaccompanied minors.

What happens if the curfew is broken? Where are parents brought into the mix and are they held responsible at any point?

Just needs to happen, period. I'm all for people doing their own thing, but not in a menacing, mob-type way. That has no place in Downtown.

There should also be some law passed against this kind of large "mob" type scene. This is nothing short of a bunch kids with nothing better to do, wanting to ruin it for the rest of us. I hope the city holds the parents accountable and both parents and teens start landing in jail. Such a shame that the city has to play the part of the parent.

I'm guessing the "some" teenagers as opposed to "all" is because the curfew doesn't extend to those teenagers that are 18 or 19.

If they are going to make the curfew permanent, here's a suggestion: make it earlier than 10:00pm. If they want to get serious about it then make the curfew at dusk, as it is in many other cities who have used curfews to deal with these types of problems.

After watching that, they should start a curfew.

Sounds like a permanent curfew is the best thing to do.
Also seems more should be done to include parents of 'wild kids' with a fine or some such.

I don't see a fight in this video. However, I do see a lot of people crowded on the sidewalk though because so many police cars are on the road.
