Too many skateboarders believe they have the 'right' to do whatever they want no matter how inappropriate or what damage they cause. When I ran restaurants I used to have trouble with them and when I told them to leave our lot the morons told me they could do what they wanted because it was public property. I had the last laugh when I leaned into the police car and told them to go ahead and do what they wanted because the police car was public property.
