This is dumb. Typical safety for dummies dumb. So dumb that it’s become illegal to throw a ball or a frisbee in a public park.
The city of Canton, Ga. passed a law banning active sports in two parks.
Violators could be arrested for playing with balls or Frisbees in Boling Park and Heritage Park.
No one has been arrested yet. Right now their focus is alerting the public about the new rule, but some are not happy about it.
“Were sitting there playing Frisbee and we run when we see a cop like we’re doing a drug deal. It’s just ridiculous,” said Cody Fulkerson. “We didn’t think it’s right so we are speaking up for it.”
City council members listened, but they say the reason the law is necessary is other people have complained that these parks have become dangerous for joggers or people just out enjoying a stroll.
The concern is getting hit by a fast moving ball or flying Frisbee.
So watch where the hell you’re jogging, or walking, or whatever. Careful when you throw so you don’t hit someone stupid enough to not be watching.
When did personal responsiblity for one’s own safety fly out the window?
