Moving trick or treat to different days for different neighborhoods

Why do they do that? To try and outsmart kids from the poor neighborhoods?


As a kid I grew up in a poor area, but we still trick or treated in our neighborhood. Course...it was different back then. Pretty much every house in our neighborhood passed out candy. I could maybe understand packs of teenagers that are just going door to door wanting candy. Or people from other areas just being rude and demanding. But if it's just some young kids and a parent is taking them to a "nicer" neighborhood because they want their kid to safely be able to trick or treat....I'm not gonna get upset over that.


It's one night out of the year...just buy some extra candy, pass it out, and just be thankful you are blessed enough to live in what others consider the "nice" part of town. Those kids and parents will travel back to their poor sections of town tonight and continue to live their lives in poverty....with maybe a few more pieces of nicer Halloween candy.
