disorderly conduct is like shouting loudly late at night. menacing and violence being called disorderly conduct is misapplication of law by a corrupt prosecutor. there should be investigations

They should investigate the lunatic who made up a story about 10 kids carrying hammers.

Who would think to bring a hammer?

Hammers are a common, inexpensive, deadly weapon that are also unregulated tools. Anyone can buy one and if questioned about carrying one claim to be going to/from a work site.

Edit: hammers were a favorite of the Hell's Angels.

Ball Peen hammers are also machinist tools. They are used to manufacture things.

Many bikers customize their own bikes. There are numerous TV shows that are dedicated to motorcycle customization.

The symbol of a ball Peen hammer indicates a respect for the machinist craft. It's a crappy murder tool. Only an idiot would mug someone with a hammer. Knives are cheaper and deadlier.

If some teenager threatened me with a hammer then I'd laugh in his face, and then take that hammer and call the cops. Most adults could easily do this, and every teenager knows it.

This is a half-baked hoax that's intended to criminalize the children of a refugee community. It's disgraceful.
