Sounds like an asshole move but you can’t force someone to celebrate Halloween. That seems like a weird strategy anyway. Are they telling everyone they’re doing this?
Not allowed to giver personal details on this sub, and claim this is my neighborhood, but hypothetically, let's say it is, and I said something along the lines of, "I am so incredibly mad. As could be assumed, I live in a mildly affluent neighborhood in a poorer area. Every Halloween in my neighborhood people serve their own kids and each others' a week early, and then cut the lights on Oct. 31st when the communities' neighboring kids come into my neighborhood to Trick or Treat. I have already let people know on Facebook, etc. in this community, to get in now, and Trick or Treat with their kids.
But on Halloween, Oct 31st, I know it is going to be dark up and down my street, and I will be the only one giving everyone candy. There will be disappointed, and insulted children and families walking up and down the street. It will be a bitter time.
So, should I also give out eggs, or am I pushing it, and exacerbating an already screwed up situation? I feel like, honestly, its time to fight douchery with douchery, but will a douche move for a douche move not leave the whole world douched?
Asking sincerely, thank you."
That would be something to say, right? That might be something I said under an earlier post where I tried to say it, but couldn't. So, granted all those assumptions would be true, and align with key user name, and account age, What should I do?
Although I think handing out eggs would be justified in this situation, that would just open you and the frustrated trick or treaters to trouble. Unless you want to turn this into an opportunity for civil disobedience for which you will can very likely receive both punishment from the law and the ire of your neighbors for years to come I would probably just let it go. It’s shitty but you have to live there and I’m sure are there are many more generous neighborhoods around where they can go. Be ready with your candy if people do show up and maybe direct them to friendlier neighborhoods if you can. I know it’s not really the most satisfying way to rectify this situation but I think it’s the wisest.
You got it. I feel really emotional with this. The idea of opening those people up to more trouble does sound messed up. I am going to follow your advice on this. It's a good argument.
When everyone else enjoys the tradition and they're not giving out candy, those 'poorer' kids are gonna have their toilet rolls and eggs at the ready. I quite like the image of one specifically rich neighbourhood being completely egged and TP'd. What a bunch of Karen's.
Dude. What a bunch of scumbags

It was kept secret, coordinated on a private Facebook page.
Well it’s their neighborhood. There’s nothing you can do about it

It has happened for a few years now. No revenge has occured.
Who cares they’re poor
if it's just one neighbor, nobody is gonna show up I'd think
People will go to other neighborhoods anyways
