So it is illegal to grill in the park. Sounds like this lady went crazy overboard about it.

They know this, but how else can they shit post?

Yup. Gotta love when some particular CEmen try to act like sticklers who have every law on the back of their hand when they know damn well they've done plenty of things that are "technically" against some law or regulation at least once in their pitiful lives.

Like come on, grilling for a couple of hours clearly isn't going to hurt anyone. The fact that we know grills up to a certain width were allowed means that you can grill, just with stipulations. Getting triggered over a minor deviation like this is beyond stupid.

by your logic running a red light most of the time hurts no one. who cares.

Yeah...those are 2 comparable situations

Look at this, another story of a black person breaking the rules, a white person appropriately reporting it, and race victims crying oppression instead of criticizing the black people who were doing something they shouldn't be.

Gotta love 2018 activism.

Why is it illegal to grill in a park?

Barbecues were banned about three years on the eastern part of the lake, after complaints about trash and a toddler was burned by improperly disposed charcoal, but police did not cite the family.

You're surprisingly far dumber than I thought if you seriously believe those two are remotely comparable.

So we live in a world where people are police-happy, and the police are trigger-happy. What a great combo.

Fucking race-baiters

If the law says no charcoal grills don't use charcoal grills or get mad when someone calls you out on it.

I mean, sure, they shouldn't have been grilling there if it wasn't allowed.

But these are offenses that would, AT MOST, result in a ticket or the person simply being asked to move somewhere else and people are calling up the cops as if their life is in peril.

"Oh no, that person over there threw a piece of paper on the ground and it says NO LITTERING! I've gotta call the police and get this man arrested!"

Get the fuck over yourselves.

@Terra-enforcer

1. He didn't provide a source.

2. If you actually watch the video, they DO allow grills at the park. There were just stipulations about the size and location of grilling areas. Everything in the 20 minutes implied that they were in the right, or at worst only off by a very minuscule technicality (the stickler ass woman mentions it being a few CENTIMETERS off in size or something).

So again, did you bother even watching the video, or are you blindly following after a user with a questionable posting history at best?

The police have other tools at their disposal besides arresting people. They can issue a ticket, citation, or simply just inform people not to do it again who may not know it's a violation.

Not really sure why expecting people to follow the rules is problematic to so many folks in this topic. This was passed after a child was injured by charcoal, after all.

Or don't use a charcoal grill where you're no supposed to.

This is the problem with people they think the rules don't apply to THEM. And then when they get in shit with the law they cry like little whiny victim babies.

If you got off Admiral's dick for two seconds, you're realize it's not even remotely close to moving goal posts. Again, watch the damn video instead of sucking some other user off and taking everything they say as gospel. It's not moving goal posts if the "goal" is whether they were in the right or not when the video indicates they likely were.

@Terra-enforcer

So did they or did they not break the rules having a charcoal grill at the park?

Call the cops and move on if it bothers you that much. Anything beyond that seems rather petty.

Learn to read then come back to me. That's been my fucking point since the beginning. We don't know . There's conflicting information.

And if the truth is that the error is indeed they were just a few centimeters off, then you can stop with the stickler shit acting like you've never done anything wrong by a technicality.

Right,

Because it couldn't possibly be they were breaking the rules it had to be because they are black,

I love how you accuse people of race baiting then you assume I give these people a pass because they're black. You're either shitposting, or ignorant as all get out. If these people were white, asian, or pink colored fish, I'd still say this was stupid. Especially without definitive proof in either direction with the issue being a technicality at the absolute most.

Also talk about moving fucking goal posts lmao. You encapsulate hypocrisy right now, guy.

This is coming from the person who blindly assumed I gave people a pass on the subject of their race. Amazing.

As I've said a few times now, try reading, yeah? Can't be too hard even for you. The fact that you're posting without even reading what you're responding to pretty clearly shows that you're shitposting like I said, so thanks for at least admitting it.

You literally have no argument and you know it.

My argument is simple.

Rules are rules.Break the rules and you can face the consequences.

Was that lady and idiot? Sure. But it doesn't change the fact she was correct about them breaking the rules.

Facts are facts.

I'm not going to treat you like a toddler. If you can't read, that's your problem. I've thoroughly provided my position and I'm not going to keep repeating myself for the sake of some shit poster who has to resort to the very race baiting he tries to criticize others of doing. What you said in this post still doesn't answer the problem with this matter that I've posted a good four or five times now.

Can we talk about how the folks in that area pretty much told her to fuck off and threw an even bigger party?

Woman was fine to call I guess to report it. Her attitude on camera seemed to be rather intense about it, the family grilling seemed to be alright with mostly going 'yeah sure call the police but we're gonna just chill here anyway until then', then another crazy lady that was not involved came up and escalated the nonsense to two people screaming back and forth at each other until they are in each other's face for like 15 min until the cops got involved.

I mean, I don't think any side is in the right here, the family grilling seems to have violated some code that wasn't NEARLY as big of a deal as the two women in the video made it out to be, the lady calling the police seems like a major un-fun to be around asshole, and the lady filming seems like a different type of asshole but the kind that likes to attach herself to drama. The family that was originally grilling didn't seem to be a big part of this story at all, or their race. While the lady calling could very well be racist it could also be very well that she's just an asshole about that park and the rules for the park.

Either way I don't see any part of this as a major big deal.

How can you know the woman was right

Because barbecuing in the park was banned, and that's the reason she was calling the authorities.

Very simple.

We must protect against the menace that is public grilling lmfao

Youre acting like disagreeing with a law mean its ok to break that law. My personal opinion is that lady was probably being a bitch and wanted to fuck up someone elses day.

So the white woman was right, and the black family was wrong. Cry all you want, that's a fact.

And we know why the authorities didn't cite them for a violation. They don't want a fucking riot nor do they want people attacking the police over this. Not worth the risk.

no , his reading comprehension clearly is not below grade schooler . He was able to address your points which clearly showed basic reading skills.

Yeah lady was being a total dumb bitch.

She should have just made a comment and moved on.

But factually looking at it she isn't breaking any laws and was reporting on someone breaking a law. So in reality she isn't in the wrong she's just a stupid annoying person.

Moral of the story don't break the rules and you won't have the possibility for those kind of issues. If they followed the rules and had propane gas grill the situation would never have happened.

Don't like the rule get involved in local government and request a change to the law.

The first response to any should I report this topic on here is call the cops report them ...... until theres an article like this and then its omg its illegal what theyre doing, who cares, racist racist racist.

He didn't though. He said I moved goal posts, which I didn't and he did. He accused OP of race baiting then ignores the fact that he race baited himself in this very thread. I posted how there was no decisive evidence proving the family was wrong, and he continues to ignore that.

So no, dodging my arguments and saying I don't have a point when it should be abundantly clear is precisely indicative of poor comprehension and reading skills.

Unless the sources are lying, yes.

An official Oakland Park and Rec map of the area around Lake Merritt shows six designated barbecue areas, three stationary charcoal locations and three non-charcoal portable grill locations. Smith and Sniders group of family and friends was grilling in one of the non-charcoal grilling spots

Which leads back to one of my points. The video indicated otherwise so we're assuming either way.
