I’m sure he’s done something that is prohibited a couple times in school and a teacher chastised him.

I don’t know. But take that crap elsewhere or ask someone else, or start a new topic.
To answer your original question much earlier in this thread to me and others, at the end of the day, no one (but you) is discussing a kid innocently fishing at a pond (even if it turns out to be private)because:
1) he handled himself politely and said he would leave, 2) the adult not only was an a-hole, but made a threat to kill him if he returned. Given this situation, I’m sure number two takes precedence…by a mile.

I used to be a HOA president and we had a pond that was always an issue because people that lived on the lake thought it was their private property. The damn it the lake was owned by the city which made the damn thing a public lake. I tried to explain this 10k times.
Not saying this is situation here but it's very common

Young fella left out he was trespassing on a HOA private park and pond, or that he was breaking the rules of the HOA if living in the neighborhood. The guy was being a dick, but that doesn’t make the kid innocent.
Some rules are made to be broken.
No but if it’s a rule he needs to stop.

Crazy bastard. I live on a great fishing lake, we have an HOA which has a policy that only residents can fish the lake, it is privately owned. Kids pull their bikes in my driveway and fish from the bank behind my house. I love to see the kids enjoying themselves in a great activity, I'll point out the good spots to them, offer them water, just watch them for a while.
I do warn them that the last time I had the water analyzed it showed a lot of pesticides and E.coli, so best not eat their catch, just throw them back. A kid that likes to fish is a good kid.

The kid didn’t sound very respectful towards the older person and the snippet of the video where they were talking. The man certainly shouldn’t have threatened the kid.

The city parks website doesn’t list this park or it’s pond as one of theirs. The neighborhood park with the pond is signed as private property owned by the HOA along with the no fishing sign, so that is not just coming from the idiot yelling at the kid in the video or some clueless owner.
I noticed both signs mentioned the club which also made me wonder if the golf course doesn’t use this and another one on other side of the course to help water during restrictions. In a satellite view this particular pond looks almost drained except for some water filled with algae in the center, but that sat view was one or more likely two years old. I lived in a neighborhood where the small lake created by a dam and a few dam created ponds along the creek were city owned with the HOA, golf course, and some of the houses that backed up to them owning the land around it with some public and/or utility access areas at various places. The golf course also had maybe 6 or 7 ponds it owned and maintained, and it would use the water from them during sprinkler restrictions as well as being water hazards.
So it certainly can be common to be city owned especially if dams and regulating flow involved just like it’s common for these very small ponds like in this neighborhood to actually be owned and maintained by the HOA or golf course or some combination based on the particular neighborhood. Even when public I have seen private land backed right up against the water with the homeowners responsible for fixing the erosion damage to the built up walls along the water, so a person could be in the water there if boating or swimming allowed but along 2 of the sides of the water if they climbed out they were on private land.

My point is it’s often very difficult to prove ownership of any pond like that. If they are retention ponds that were required when they built the subdivision, which are often the property of the developer which revert to subdivisions at a particular development stage, and these are always privately owned in most states. But if it’s an existing oxbow lake or was built by any government agency it’s a different deal.
Our lake was both but the damn was owned by the city. I got the city to donate the damn to us etc and fixed this issue but also got people to chill out if anyone was fishing on the damn etc.
Most all these kids are practicing catch and release, how does fricking hurt anyone?????
