Ridgewood NJ, the Glen Rock Starbucks manager Alicia Saige Whalen made this post on the “it takes a Ridgewood Village” Facebook page warning about groups of kids on bikes vandalizing the downtown.
“Attention moms and dads, I’m the glen rock Starbucks manager, but on behalf of the downtown Ridgewood Starbucks I just want to make sure parents are aware. There is a large group of children who plan on riding their bikes through Ridgewood this Saturday around 2pm. Last time they did this, they vandalized the downtown Ridgewood Starbucks and broke a sink in their bathroom. They ride throughout the town causing dangerous traffic conditions and run through stores knocking stuff over, wrecking flower beds, and playing chicken with cars. This causes dangerous situations for themselves and others. They plan to have the police involved to keep your children and the community safe. Just be aware and check in with your kids.”
Flash mobs strike Ridgewood? What next?
Will they use the bike path to nowhere to make entry and exit?
Many saw this taking place one day last week and wanted to know why the police didn’t do anything.
Good grief. Get those kids a hobby. How about volunteering?
Some of those people that work in Starbucks is so rude.
I do not blame the police officers but management is not up to task. This is what happens when you pick leaders based on identity as opposed to merits. As long as we do not pick the best people regardless of gender, color etc. things won’t improve. And with the wave of changes hitting the town these law and order issues will probably be more frequent and most people will just get used to them which will be sad.
Coffee girl… yes they “is”
Coffee girl you are so right girl. They are so rude he Pootie at times. You go get them girl.
I can’t wait until the GINORMOUS GARAGE is built and we ELIMINATE Crime in Ridgewood !!!
I read this and think what my father would do when I was a teenager if I was ever found to part of something like this. The police would be the least of my problems
Can anyone image what would happen today if a police officer tried to enforce the law here and the kid fell of his bike, was arrested, or happened to be a minority? In my day parents were the authority, who is it today?
These kids should face the consequences of their actions. They won’t, someone will make excuses and coddle them
Garage asshole alert !
