For those who aren’t familiar, here’s an illustrative clip from the movie:
why the handwringing over the racial aspect in the OP? The kids trespassed and created public disturbances. Have the police break it up and send them home. What is the concern?
This sounds like a variation of “flash robs”, which have been a big problem in some areas.
I don’t know if you’ve been following the news for the last few years, but there’s been some tensions when it comes to interactions between African Americans and law enforcement. Even right now, there’s additional tension created by federal law enforcement seemingly targeting brown people. There some handwringing over the racial aspect for good reason I think.
And we’re not just talking about a few kids, we’re talking about a lot of young people, and any time you’re dealing with a crowd you have to take care. Even if most of them are decent people, crowds have a way of getting out of control.
Awwww. Yeah yeah, my nits been picked…now I want a Meercat babbie
Isn’t this just a novel form of civil disorder?
No handwringing on my part. Just observing as to the racial dynamics in case anyone thought that significant.
I see that quote does not specify that “protest” must be involved. I don’t know that the folk involved in these actions are presenting any specific greivances. So yeah - they are civil (nonviolent) and disorderly.
I understand all that. But do you think there is a difference in how this situation should be handled if the youths were primarily black vs primarily white? If not, then reasons for emphasizing the racial aspects of it don’t seem particularly relevant.
So the question should be, what can communities do to encourage their young people to do this kind of thing? As partying is declining massively in younger generations with massive negative implications for society (such as rising loneliness)
Here is a Monty Python solution:
Say what? We should encourage young people to break into places?
My generation partied plenty, and I can assure you we never had to break into somewhere to do it.
I always hated parties.
While the last bit of this statement (rising loneliness) is, indeed, an issue in American society, that article is about “parties” in the sense of going to someone’s house, or a public place, to play games, watch movies, celebrate an event, etc.
“Takeovers” are only “parties” in the vaguest sense, and encouraging younger people to get out of the house and engage in civil disorder isn’t in any way an approach that’s healthy for a society.
What the fuck? No one should be encouraging this type of behavior. A mob of 100+ teens breaking into a place to fuck around is not a good thing.
CAN YOU DIG IT??
Well, rurally the kids have no recreational facilities.
So they go swimming in gravel pits. Somebody drowns regularly.
Or they ride back roads in crappy vehicles and all manner of disasters occur.
Maybe they take paint guns and chase each other thru the woods at somebody’s deer camp. (Hopefully no ding bat hunter left real guns and ammo out there 
)
Then they bounce up to cooking meth in abandoned old houses and blow themselves up.
Or turn creepy as heck and start yanking young girls off lawns in town.
Yeah. It’s tough allover.
There was this ancient thing called a telephone. People used to talk to each other on it, if you can believe that? No texting or l33tsp3@k in those days. I’m probably showing my age, since that itself is now oldster history, I expect?
Well, I know I got the reference and enjoyed it
Well…occasionally we had to. 
Civic disobedience and partying aren’t mutually exclusive. From my historic family trips to Boston, Philly, and Colonial Williamsburg, seems like the founding fathers spent half their time building our nation while getting shit-faced in various pubs, inns, taverns, and each other’s homes.
The lack of partying makes me sad though.
