Get some lollies and stop being the grinch that stole Halloween.

There is no need for kids to dress up like they are half dead and mangled. Nor any need for loving parents to encourage the Emo trait. Not much intellect left with the stupidity I guess.

You can't live your life terrified that something terrible is going to happen. It is extremely unlikely that something terrible will happen.

Millions of people enjoy themselves on Halloween. What's the big deal?

Yep , not to mention the dead corpses that were strung up on the fence and people walked by thinking they were Halloween decorations until they started to stink.

Did you read that in the news ?

Why celebrate degradation its just plain sick to me and child abuse.
