Cyrus, you're making things up. Skateboarders DID skate at Veterans Plaza -- with the express permission of Civic Building staff, with the building's director, Reemberto Rodriguez, asking only that we not skate the benches. That was the only thing we were asked to not do at Veterans. The rules later changed, several times, but they were never put on the web, or on signs were skaters could find them.

And contrary to your accusation, the incident outside of Baja Fresh was in no way connected to skateboarders, although some folks were silly enough to think that a guy holding a toy skateboard in a Facebook profile, makes someone a skater.

And you might try telling the truth about what skaters were doing just before their skateboards were taken by the police -- they were engaging in civic activism, participating in a community meeting with Reemberto Rodriguez, at which Gazette reporter Jeremy Arias was present, as he reported on in the Gazette.

You obviously hate skaters, as you clearly feel the need to denigrate our community's children with completely specious claims.
