Everything about this is insane. Making it illegal to walk, calling cops on kids, arresting people for any fucking reason. People created a hell hole they have to live in now.

    Why is this kid walking, he should have a car. This is the USA, we don't walk here.

    By walking, that kid was stealing money from oil and car corporations

    This isn't even suburban; it's rural small-town bullshit. Atlanta has a lot of sprawl, but nobody's commuting there from Blue Ridge (yet).

    It's all nuts, but I'm okay with the idea of, hey, there's a young kid, can we check on him. Cop rolls up, you okay kid? Yes. Cool, have a day. The idea that this would escalate beyond there is insanity.
