No it's not. Kids these days are little shits, and they're parents don't do anything about it.

It’s a public space, dude. Learn how to share. If you want a private space, buy one.

Exactly! The kids can let the adults play pickleball.

The adults could act like adults and let the kids play on the areas designated for children rather than try to steal it from them.

Since they couldn’t, and the city had to step in, they’re now banned.

The kids could act like respectable members of society and defer to their elders. Motherfuckers are already riding their scooters all over the fucking sidewalk.

I read this recently, and it really fits well here:

“Sometimes people use “respect” to mean “treating someone like a person” and sometimes they use “respect” to mean “treating someone like an authority” and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say “if you won’t respect me I won’t respect you” and they mean “if you won’t treat me like an authority I won’t treat you like a person” and they think they’re being fair but they aren’t, and it’s not okay.”

The kids were acting like kids, but the “elders” to which you refer were acting like spoiled babies when they should have acted like responsible adults— and that’s why they got banned from the park.

There’s a lesson for you in this, buddy.

Facing the consequences of your actions is not a state of victimhood.

No, the kids were acting like spoiled kids, and the elders were acting like adults.

Explain how bullying children and forcefully taking up all of the courts in their playground - to the point where the city has to intercede - is “acting like adults”?

It's adults staking their rightfully won ground. The kids can go play elsewhere.

You’re describing a schoolyard fight, in a kid’s playground, and claiming that it’s something that defines a group as “adult”.

Have you had a recent head injury?

> The kids can go play elsewhere.

According to the Parks Department, the so-called “adults” will have to go play elsewhere.

Edit: spelling, etc.

Kids are more adult than adults.

All kids? Really?

Also kids - literally anyone, actually - playing a ball sports are going to kick/hit balls into other areas. It’s going to happen, it’s a fact of amateur ball sports’ existence. You would need to leave play parks to avoid it, and it’s not worth getting mad over.

It is 100% worth getting mad over.

The adult getting mad at kids playing in parks is always the less mature one

Of course you aren't, that would require fornication which you obviously have never done.
