They're tax-paying citizens, they're freaking the fuck out, and they're having a bit of a moment. Some are even calling it the new American trend: grown-ass women, snapping at skate parks.
Click over to this subreddit devoted specifically to videos of people going shithouse at skate parks, and you'll find, at least at the time of this writing, that the majority of the uploads happen to feature adult females, presumably mothers. (Some make it very clear they are, in fact, moms.)
The nascent community is a spinoff of r/publicfreakouts— which you should go to immediately, if you're looking for a real K-hole plunge into the entitlement and downright assholery of a huge swatch of the sub/urban human condition—and is already a telling case study on authority and the diffusion of responsibility in public spaces, like skate parks.
Now, humans have been having good, old-fashioned public freakouts for about as long as we've had the ability to outwardly express frustration and anger, which is to say pretty much as long as we've been around. And while the aforementioned publicfreakouts subthread is teaming with jerky cell phone footage of jacked bros going ape on hapless citizens, the narrative of a suburban mother with an axe to grind at the quarter pipe seems to have stuck with the internet.
So, why are moms freaking out at skate parks anyway?
