Skate and Destroy Riot

I have just read this article on the Skate and Destroy Riot that had occurred a few months ago in Hollywood,

This article shows why skateboarders have gotten such a bad reputation for being wild crazy people who have no remorse for the other skaters who make an attempt to make a positive lasting impact on our community. Skaters have never had the best reputation for being good civil members of society, but some of us have made an attempt to change what people have thought about that, but when events such as this riot occur it completely overturns the attempts for change that the others have made. I think that these people who started this riot need to take a second to think about why people look down on the skateboard culture so much and how their actions have destroyed the actions that the others have made.
