Alternately try nutting up and doing what people who like to play with guns do. Start a club, buy some land, and make and take ownership of a place where you can do your dangerous shit without hurting people just trying to get through the day. Imagine if gun owners were just setting up target practice in the streets because “there’s no place to go.”
Shit there’s a place open in Richmond now, but you gotta pay $40 and not be an asshole - probably too much to ask of these fine folks.

>Wonder why they haven't come up with a similar solution for ATVs and dirt bikes. Legal riding spaces aren't too crazy of a concept,
Cool, they should start a club, buy some land, and build one. Or are you saying that taxpayers should pay to fix the problems of morons who bought toys they have no place to legally use? And let’s not even pretend that if there was a free park these mofos wouldn’t still be tearing up the streets.
>don't know why everyone immediately jumps to banning the sale of them.
Probably because they’re tired of irresponsible morons who buy them without a place to ride them and then make that everyone else’s fucking problem.

Seriously, didn’t even show sympathy for the poor driver of the SUV who has to deal with this even though they were behaving like a responsible adult.

Those are both reliable buses. Download the transit app + check the schedule on the website to confirm times. And yes, Kennedy Plaza is great for people watching both day and night, but when the sun goes down it gets a little pricklier.

It’s quite astounding you literally said, yourself:
> A woman being pulled out of a car
(while omitting her children where in the car and that this has happened previously.)
To:
> Implying that we should shoot anyone that we feel threatened by
I might have missed this part. When was that exactly inferred or implied?
Perhaps her stance should be: “Nah, nah, naboo, boo! I’m calling the cops. You can’t do anything until they arrive!”
I’ll give in: Women in their car, with their children, must submit, less they be “murderers”.
Honestly, are you people even listening to yourselves?

Looks like two of the morons doing wheelies towards oncoming cars finally got got. Can’t say I feel too bad for them. You’re 21 years old you’re a grown man and should know better.

Enjoy every second of it mate. Enjoy that contentment, you deserve it, and thanks for your public service.
More importantly, thanks for standing ip to the fact that anybody deserves the right to defend themselves from being violently attacked.

RIPTA is pretty reliable, if not always frequent. You can use the Transit app to see when the bus is coming.
Another option—that costs a little bit more, but might be faster—is to take the MBTA Commuter Rail from TF Green to Providence. You can either walk from the train station to Kennedy Plaza, or take one of the various routes that connect the two (including the R Line, which is currently free).

You must be quite literally inept to not understand that no sound person would divulge that information publicly on a forum such as reddit.
That’s not the “gotcha” you desperately want it to be.
Seems to me the user offered to pm you further information. Did you take them up on that offer?

I don’t skateboard, so I don’t know which venues allow it and which don’t. It is banned in many such venues though, and if it is expressly allowed at Lincoln Woods I promise the state has liability coverage.
Getting back to the topic of the thread, why don’t these roving gangs take their bikes to Lincoln Woods?

Skateboarding is 100% allowed in Lincoln Woods, what are you talking about? Not really a stellar venue for it, but it's allowed. All sorts of other potentially dangerous activities are expressly encouraged there too...mountain biking, horseback riding, pond skating, etc.

I’ve followed this thread quite closely.
> Literally no one is saying people shouldn’t defend themselves
That seems to be precisely what your argument has been?
> government does not act it is up to the individual and community to protect themselves.”
I mean, I fucking hate guns, but can you reasonably explain to me why the right to carry a gun is not justified here? Like actually reasonable?
Is this woman, who is violently being grabbed from her car, that also has her children in it, supposed to say: “nah, nah, nah, nah, aboo, boo, I call time out! I’m going to call the police. Things are in time out until they arrive!”
What more could a right to self defense exist of?
> it isn’t out of the realm of reality for someone to interpret that as you wanting more than ‘individuals using “adequate self-defense”’. It is especially not out of the realm of reality considering the country we live in.
This is your projection to attempt to self validate your ridiculous interpretation. Nothing more, nothing less.

It completely changed when Providence gave everyone trash bins. Very sad day in my life. That, and when they turned the old Hospital Trust Tower into a RISD dorm.

Skatepark insurance is a thing, often wrapped into a municipality’s general liability policy. Places like Yellowstone and Lincoln Woods generally ban skateboarding in large part to avoid liability issues.

I’m sorry to hear that about the owner of Vanuatu. Has Pastiche gone back to cafe mode? Last time I was in there (not that long ago) they still seemed to be in pandemic mode. Take out only. I missed the cozy cafe feel with the fireplace.
