"Our Gang" aka The Little Rascals"

“The fact that neighbors are no longer neighborly, that we cannot knock on a neighbor’s door; that we do not know our neighbors is very different from many years ago when neighborhoods were friendly; times have indeed changed. The situation now is dangerous. The 9/11 terrorists were able to live in neighborhoods and hatch their dangerous plots because they knew neighbors ignore neighbors.

Also, neighbors not knowing and being unfriendly to neighbors, increases social isolation; very dangerous because teens more likely to take drugs and alcohol when they alienated, and they will feel alienated in an unfriendly neighborhood.

The above comment about hate is what America does not need. Again it stems from alienation. The comment is an example of social media bullying”

” It’s amazing that the police are stopping kids from playing music in the garage before the 10 PM rule and law. And yet they are not issuing a summons for cars that are parked overnight, very interesting someone’s not doing their job right. Who’s running this town what political party. Well we can say it’s getting sickening. The politics in the village of Ridgewood is running the town. What a disgrace. What a free-for-all. Can you imagine in five more years what’s going to happen to the village of Ridgewood my god no wonder people are selling their homes and moving down south. We are not the leaders anymore we are followers. I just don’t know who we are following? We are in a mess. “

“This is so sad. The kids were playing at a decent hour. So they were being considerate of their neighbors.

Let the kids play!

I grew up playing ball in the street and in my neighborhood the parents were understanding and tolerant of the fact that we were just looking for a place to play, so they made sure the cars were out of our way. That was very cool of them! On the few occasions that a car was “in the way” we incorporated that into our game.

Moral of the story is that the neighbors who thought the “noise” was a nuisance could have knocked on their neighbor’s doors before alerting the police. AND likewise, the police shouldn’t have stopped the kids because they didn’t violate ANY ordinances whatsoever.”
