Yep, also likely is someone is driving and can’t park their ultra power diesel 4x4 placebo truck into their garage and demands the hoop be taken down, running over a kid optional in that case, and karens all get together saying how dangerous it is for kids to be playing in the street.
OR, old couple get mad at children laughing, they control the HOA with an iron fist, and pass new bylaws saying no obstacles in parking spaces or something. Kids go back to loitering at gas station and causing trouble, so older people can say “kids these days, never play outside anymore”.
I’m jaded, but as an example. We had a youth center that our town made for kids so they wouldn’t be hooligans and have a place for them. Well, the seniors noticed this nice open building was just empty, claimed it was a waste of money, and started going there during school days. Which started fine, until eventually they stayed later and later until school got out and those pesky kids came by. So naturally, the seniors demanded that it no longer be a youth center but instead a senior center. So it was changed. Ending of that story is eventually those seniors got bored, stopped going, and now it sits empty.
Yes, that’s where I live, too. Most of us are pretty chill. Our gun laws are ridiculous, which is why stuff like that happens, but the vast majority of us are not walking around and shooting children.
As a Canadian(and not the guy you replied to) I can pretty comfortably say that I don’t trust the US at all and “the vast majority” is not nearly good enough. Thank goodness I’m not a person of colour because it’s wild how frequently people will shot those folks through their door for the crime of knocking on it.
crazy person also drives by every day with LED headlights and flash bangs every living room in sight, while idling their car for over ten minutes every morning in the winter
because it’s not about what’s actually intrusive, it’s about their own selfish concerns

Nowhere close to where this would happen. But I’ve watched The Perfect Neighbor
