Craigslist Poster Threatens Legal Action Against ‘N**let’ Trick Or Treaters In His Neighborhood

There seem to be a lot of people going as “racists” this Halloween.

A post spotted by WTKR in the “Rants and Raves” section of Craigslist starts strong, admonishing “overage” trick or treaters albiet with some questionable legal support:

“Reminder: Overage Trick Or Treaters Stay Out! (Larchmont-Edgewater)

“We hate seeing kids older than twelve going house to house for free candy. Doing so is illegal and this year we will be calling the police on you b**tards. Overage trick or treating is a Class 4 misdemeanor and carries a $250 fine. This will also go on your criminal record if you don’t have one already.”

Of course, it is not a felony to trick or treat over the age of 12. It’s actually a misdemeanor, but only one that carries a fine, and even still, the fine is pressed on the parents and not the overage trick or treater.

But we can appreciate using a mostly-empty threat against a group of teenagers who won’t really know any better so that the younger kids can have a good time.

Well, as long those younger kids are white.

“And you n**lets, stay the hell out! We’re a white neighborhood and we don’t want you baboons here!! You little turds better think twice going into my neighborhood or you will be legally punished.”

Ugh.

Other Larchmont/Edgewater residents seem to have missed the memo that they live in an all-white neighborhood.

“When I see that, I don`t know where it comes from, where all the anger comes from. Why are we using these words?” said resident Ainel Alerth.

“I can understand if you have a 16 or 17-year-old show up without a costume, but just a blanket statement to say all kids of different colors can`t come in? I don`t think that is appropriate for this neighborhood, because we are very eclectic here,” Timo Mitchell agreed.

Norfolk Police did say that they’ll respond to calls about overage trick or treaters, but spokesman Chris Amos said that there’s nothing they can do to enforce the Craigslist poster’s desire for a segregated Halloween.

“You can`t discriminate against someone being in a particular neighborhood, the law doesn’t address that,” he said.

Happy Halloween, folks.
