law - 13 year olds can't trick or treat?!

[EvilCat Breath]

The young kids out for fun come at twilight with parents in costumes and even the dog dressed up.

After dark are the older ones, early teens. They pound on the door "gimme me mah candy". The later it gets the older the visitors get. The less costumes matter. I have seen men, no women they don't do that, in their 30s banging on doors after midnight.

I no longer bother.

Trick-or-treaters over age 12 could face fine, jail time in one Virginia city

Thanks, Obama.

Obama? That law has been on the books since 1970 and was a response to older teens taking candy from younger children and one getting stabbed. The law is generally ignored and, when not, the violators are given a warning, NOT fined or jailed unless caught in some other illegal activity.

If police are concerned with vandalism, they should put a curfew on all trick or treaters

If HS kids are respectful and just having a good time....let em

In most places in Maine, they won't let anyone younger than me buy shaving cream, eggs or toilet paper on the day before or Halloween. It does NOT seem to slow them down much. Is it possible they actually think ahead?

Trick or treat is bullshit. Another Jew (Satanic)scam to sell absolute garbage that nobody needs. It's even worse than Easter

I doubt if it's a law--just store owners doing their bit for the community. It's so not fun when your car windows get soaped or there's raw egg goo all over the side of your house. By then, it's COLD up here, the hose has been brought in for the winter, it's not easy washing it all off. And the toilet paper in the trees? Have fun.

Most teens I saw out on Halloween were shepherding younger children (presumably siblings). Would that get them arrested?
