Talk:172: Skateboarding is Not a Crime

How would the second locker be opened by its user? Would s/he and the fourth locker's owner break the law as well as the third's? 67.188.195.182 22:28, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I can't get over the fact that the sticker goes over the second and fourth locker. 199.27.128.203 (talk) 06:06, 19 November 2014 (UTC) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

Skateboarding can be outlawed; "Stupid stickers," on the other hand, are conditionally protected free speech Mountain Hikes (talk) 04:23, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

Skateboarding cannot legitimately be outlawed. That is an example of an unjust law...and an unjust law is no law at all. — Kazvorpal (talk) 04:11, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

Just a note, a lot of people are taking the same kind of stand with police brutality nowadays, people agree that it is bad, but whenever a black person is arrested most people usually associate it with police racism, even if that was evidently not the case. 162.158.255.162 (talk) 21:01, 12 February 2016 (UTC) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)

Yes, associating police brutality with racism helps corrupt officials cover up the real problem: The police brutality itself, which is part of a systematic problem. Even if the cops doing it are racist, they wouldn't dare express the racism in that way, if not for the mentality the police state has toward the people it's supposed to serve. —Kazvorpal (talk) 04:13, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

Meseems this is a High School locker as used to be common in the USA. As such, the "crime" in question is likely one defined by the school, rather than a generic against-the-subculture, city or state "rule." Which do exist, but seldom do offer lockers that someone would feel ownership of. The reason for the ban and actions against skateboarders that originated the protest are the same why these lockers themselves have disappeared from other public spaces and are also on the way out in schools, that being a messy understanding of liability, safety, and the use of the commons and respect for others. My local high school got rid of lockers, library, but interestingly does offer a rack by the entrance for sk8ters to leave their stuff there, at least avoiding its use in the hallways in a somewhat friendlier manner than a ban.

I'm not sure if the note about free speech changing under the current administration is proper, as it reads as biased and off-topic. I'm not sure if it makes sense to remove it entirely or re-phrase it to be more neutral. 2606:1440:605:2500:FCD4:891C:9AD8:BEC 20:29, 30 September 2026 (UTC)

Feels a bit too politically-charged for me, so I poofed it. If someone more experienced with this wiki stuff thinks it's good to have, feel free to re-add it though. 66.146.216.226 21:28, 1 October 2026 (UTC)

I agree with the poofin'! FaviFake (talk) 23:35, 1 October 2026 (UTC)
