*stares angrily at Chesapeake VA* This is infuriating! By banning 12+ year olds from ToTing, you're basically asking them to get into trouble. My kids are 12 and 14 and both are looking forward to dressing up and trick or treating. Let kids be kids as long as humanly possible!!!!!

*stares angrily at Chesapeake VA* WTF! Who cares who goes trick or treating? It's not like it's hurting anyone!

I wonder if that's more to have something on the books if you get a lot of much older high school kids out later and 'tricking', e.g., vandalism, more than treating.

So they can already charge those kids with something. FTR, we get HS kids TOT at our house too. And for the most part the vandalism happens post TOT hours so maybe just focus on that and not stopping kids from being kids

Apparently the town has never really enforced the 'Halloween law' but did, for whatever reason, want something on the books. www.usatoday.com/story/life/parenting/2019/10/16/halloween-2019-trick-treat-bans-age-limits-absurd/3942119002/

Have we discussed Trump calling the impeachment process a lynching, and also that Lindsey backed him up on it? I don't want to link to any tweets.
The whole thing makes me want to vomit.

So... if I accompany my 5 year old can I get arrested/fined? What if I send my (fictitious) 16-year-old daughter to supervise my 5 year old? Can she get arrested/fined?

They're polite and typically towards the end of the night so I'm dumping handfuls in their sacks and they're pretty stoked. What a stupid thing to do

HJC is having an elections security hearing and Nadler asked each of the witnesses if it's appropriate for the president to ask a foreign leader to get involved in our electoral politics. All the witnesses said no except for the hack from DOJ. :eyeroll:

My kids are 12 and 14 and both are looking forward to dressing up and trick or treating. Let kids be kids as long as humanly possible!!!!! I spent a substantial amount of time arguing with people about this last time this year. I had a tweet that got a lot of likes that I might bust out again this year. Basically it was like “society: kids grow up too fast these days. What a shame. Also society: you’re too old to have childish fun trick or treating now that you’re 12”. Plus also laws like this really put Black and Brown children in danger.

Plus also some kids are developmentally delayed or special needs and enjoy trick or treating.
Argh. This issue makes me so angry.

They have apparently ammended the law so that it's over 14 (but still 16 is trouble) and jail time is no longer a threat, just a fine. Not a whole lot better, but a little. And the other surrounding areas still have it as 12.

I saw that this morning. He is a terrible person and so are his supporters. I think he is trying to deflect attention from whatever may happen today with Bill Taylor's testimony.

I grew up next to Chesapeake. It is just suburban sprawl and semi-rural areas. It has always been the asscrack of the "7 cities".
But also note Virginia Beach still has signs up last I checked for no cursing in public. That whole cul de sac of Virginia sucks.

I might lose my shit today. This is horrendous and I can’t believe anyone would stand by someone who crosses this line. But I know they do because we’ve been watching it happen for 3 years now. I’m so sad for the trauma that this inflicts on people.

I just can't imagine stealing joy in todays world.
Full confession I dislike halloween. Like I will hand out candy and oooh and ahhh over costumes and smile, but I haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate taking my kid out door to door. Last year my kid went with her friend and her family and I about hugged the mom when she said you dont have to come. There were dust trails behind me I took off so fast
