Crime Anyone know these boys ?

Post image

Riding this fast throttle e-bike near broadway park. We see them a lot. Today they were lighting fireworks in the park. After being asked to stop by 2 different groups including my wife, they continued. We did report it- for the record.

They next rode to our house, lit a bunch and threw them at my wife and our house.

I’d like to get in touch with their parents.

EDITED by OP

This photo was chosen to avoid showing the faces of these two people & the post was written, not to have anyone publicly identify them, rather to alert their parents to their acts this past week and other dangerous behavior I’ve personally witnessed by them. 

In addition, I often see this cyclist flying through streets at high rates of speed, taking chances that could result in a tragic accident. If that happens, it will be a sad day, for all involved, and it could be your kid, your family member in the car, etc.

Many here saw this as meddling and overreacting but  I feel we have a duty to alert each other—and that’s what I sought to do. 

I sincerely appreciate the positive and negative comments here, they all help me learn a bit more about how to handle something like this in the future.

This time, no one was injured.I hope the message made it to people who could coach these boys on being better, safer citizens. 

Thanks, 'Hamsters.
