halloween gone bad

happy halloween ... it is suppose to be fun going trick or treating ... but sometimes the older teens just spoiled the fun for the rest of the younger ones. the north of santa monica neighborhood slowly turns into a ghetto during this time once a year and it is turning more ghetto-y each year. tonight the cops (santa monica pd) came by to chase the noisy crowds away. it felt like a scene from the dawn of the dead.
the idea of sharing doesn't get to the kids nowadays. last year my 10 pounds bag of candies last the night from 5-9pm and this time around it seemed like one of the kids got really greedy and took the whole 5-pound bag of candies and left the rest of the other trick or treaters astray.
and what about treating people's property with respect. my candy stand got knocked over just because i have no more candies. do people even think about ringing the door bell if the candies are out ... but no ... let's just destroy ... destroy ... destroy. i feel like i have to put up some fences and have a sign that says "keep out or i will shoot."
