GREENSBORO, N.C. — A massive fight in downtown Greensboro Saturday night has some city leaders taking a hard look at bringing back the teen curfew.
Nearly 400 people were involved in the several fights that happened along Elm Street.
Greensboro police arrested 11 people ranging in age from 16 to 20-years-old. Officers had to use pepper spray and a stun gun to try to get the crowd under control. Greensboro Police Department had to call UNCG Police and Guilford County for extra help.
Bunch of gangbangers at it. :mental:

Bunch of gangbangers at it. :mental:
All that pent up frustration, anger, hormones running at top speed and warm weather.
I noticed this when my boys were teens and I would take them to rock concerts, controlled hysteria really, for a couple hours the kids would jump up and down, yell their lungs out and after the show leave exhausted but happy. I left deaf as a door nail for hours.
Kids get titchy unless they get to vent with a lot of physical and mental work outs. Kids are not meant to spend days sitting in a class room, go home sit around doing homework then sit about watching TV before bed.
Kids are physically growing and changing from child to adult. they need as much exercise as possible and a way to vent, holler, yell, and scream.
What to do in the city to direct the kids into and onto another path then street fights ? It would be so much cheaper to spend $3,000 a week for the first prize in a 2 mile run, say 4 months --comes to less then $50,000 and the kids will train and run every day for that amount of money. The hot shot gang bangers want the money for drugs and will be too busy to do any break ins or dealing, more money to be made winning a race with all the girls cheering them on as hero's. Plus rival gangs will try to out do
each other if the publicity is big and they get the recognition they want.
Adults need recognition for their labors, need to be honored for their work, kids need this also as the Boy Scouts know awarding badges for work well done. Write up's in the paper and a sense of Pride.
So 400 kids bored and restless go nuts------Not surprising to me. What, pay kids to do what they should be doing anyway, bull, Money is the best incentive to work at something at any age.
