“half-criminals” or Skate boarders

I want to know what you think, is skateboarding a crime?
Today skate boarders are treated like criminals but really they are just athletically advanced. Do cities/ town need to change their unfair treatment of skate boarder. Almost everywhere you go you can read “No skateboarding, biking, or rollerblading.” Skate boarders have been forced out of known skate spots by storeowners and police. The police treat skate boarders like criminals when really we’re just looking to have fun
One way that cities/towns have tried to treat skateboarders fairly is to build skateboard parks. Unfortunately, most of those parks are made by people that can’t skateboard. They just don’t understand the momentum or gravity pull associated with the movement of skateboarding.
Skateboarders aren’t going away. As humans beings grow, we go from crawling to walking and some of us grow from strollers to skateboards.
