Hey y’all, welcome back to Unfit to Print.
TRICK OR THIEVERY
Halloween used to be the one night a year where kids were encouraged to take candy from strangers.
Now we have to watch out for parents and their unruly offspring trying to steal it.
Videos circulating on social media show a disturbing trend: hordes of children of a certain demographic swiping entire buckets of candy, trashing Halloween displays, and generally behaving like assholes.
Even worse, some of their parents encouraged this behavior. One black mother allegedly stole 40 juice boxes and entire buckets of candy and when her son tried to give the candy back she stopped him and drove off. In another video, a black family cries racism after they’re asked to leave a neighborhood they went trick-or-treating in because they were stealing all of the treats.
Luckily I didn’t encounter this problem in my neighborhood. But something else happened on Halloween night that had me deeply concerned about our nation’s children.
