Gosh, why is assumed that to have Christ first in one’s heart there’s no room for good clean fun? Riding around in grocery buggies, (or shopping carts depending on where you’re from) is not a sin in the Christian Bible last I checked. Now if youth were actually cursing while standing near someone’s vessel-then by all means-dial 911.
What the hell are teens supposed to do for fun if drugs, booze, sex and skateboarding are crimes? Sit around eating oxy and watch cable? Sheesh.
Residents report rowdy crowd at Christian venue
By Kelly Marshall Fuller | The Sun News | Posted on Tue, Dec. 04, 2007
Police responded to at least two calls that teenage customers of a Christian-themed club were running wild in the street around 10 p.m. Friday.
At least two complaints were filed this past weekend against the Filling Station, a business on Front Street that does not sell alcohol and features Christian entertainment, gospel music, and Sunday church services.
Residents and business owners along Front Street told police they have seen teens smoking cigarettes, using profanity and tearing flowers from planters along the Georgetown Harborwalk.
Residents of a houseboat, docked near the business, said teens lingering around the business were becoming a regular nuisance, according to a police report.
The report said groups of 30 to 35 juveniles, with little or no adult supervision, regularly caused disturbances on the Harborwalk.
“I did a check of the area and saw at least 38 juveniles in the area from the Kaminski House all the way down to the Goat Island Grill,” a police report said.
While police were investigating this complaint, two other teens were seen running with a shopping cart on Front Street, the report said.
At least one teen was riding in the cart when it stopped in front of the Filling Station, the police report said.
The two girls who were running with the cart then walked inside the business, the report said.
The owner of the business, Robert Cox, said he would return the cart so no police action would be taken, the report said.
In another incident around 11 p.m. Friday night, complaints were filed after a boat owner said juveniles were cursing near her vessel.
When the boat owner asked the teen if her mother was nearby, the girl asked, “Why was it her [expletive] business,” the report said.
Police told boat-docked residents they would patrol the area more carefully during the weekend.
Cox could not be reached for comment.
