Skateboarders vs City Hall on Fox

Attributed to Jeff Wilson (editor-supplied)

Sterling King grabbed this Fox LA News report on Tuesday night’s city council meeting, in which dozens of skateboarders showed up to protest the planned closure of their skate park until a new one is built.

Notable quotes:

“There’s gonna be more, like, people, skating in no skating zones.” - Unidentified teen skater

“Skateboarding is my life. It’s the only thing I do.” - Unidentified teen skater

“We’re not your adversary. We’re your best friend out there for what you enjoy doing,” Mayor Bob Kellar on the subtle threats delivered by the skaters.
