Regarding the story about the skateboarders who attacked the 64 year old man on Franklin Street, I think the police should do more to deter these kids from skateboarding in front of businesses where there is a lot of pedestrian traffic. In front of some businesses there are signs prohibiting skateboarding, but that doesn’t seem to do the trick, especially since most of the skateboarders probably cannot read!!!!
