Last night around 8:00, five teen aged African American kids on bikes rode up the street with a new found basketball that had been in a neighbor's yard. They proceeded to play basketball on a free standing hoop, in the street about a block away. Their language was loud and colorful, and they were obstructing the street from cars coming thru. One of the neighborhood dads confronted the boys regarding the ownership of the ball, and the boy said, "its mine, NOW". So, a discussion followed with the boys continuing to use colorful language. They said they lived on Larimer Ave.The ball was released with a kick in the air when the dad offered to call the police. The police came but the kids were gone, later spotted on Stanton Ave. The outspoken boy had a cast on his arm. If anyone sees a group with a kid with a cast, watch out for bad behavior. Marty Harkins
