I saw this last year in one of the nicer neighborhood in Kenner. I don't have a problem. Some streets do Halloween better than others. No one was out of candy that I saw and people seemed happy to have kids there. Now at my house we had a total of four trick or treaters and it's not a bad area, just a cul-de-sac in a neighborhood that is mostly old people.
ETA - yes we bring the kids to a different hood because ours has so few houses that participate due to lack of kids in area.

You were able to be a part of some poor kids having a decent night.

Right! The 15 or 16 year olds seemed to be mentoring the younger kids and corrected them if they didn't say thank you or answer questions without saying yes sir or no mam You get my point.

i'm in capital heights, and we have a great halloween every year. we regularly have car loads of black kids (that's what you're insinuating by saying "poors", isn't it?) and usually have a trailer load of well-off white kids from across Claycut. there are differences between the two groups, but we already knew that. at our halloween, all kids are welcome. it can be fun if you don't let it become us v. them.

Looked like a church or boys club kinda thing. The kids were all 10 or under and I thought it was well organized. Very thankful and respectful. The older kids walked them up and made them say thanks and yes sir no sir
If that's the case, then I'm all for it.
We had a good number of outsider groups in our hood as well but it was the same story, respectful and wearing costumes. Of course Ascension isn't in the same league with the thuggery in BR so I wasn't surprised.

I would add that I have no problem with older kids trick or treating also. Better than getting drunk and whore costuming it up. Let them be kids as long as they can.

Life is a zero sum game. Halloween is just something fun to do along the way.

It's the most diverse night in my neighborhood all year.

That brought in kids from the poorer neighborhoods. The kids were polite. I have no problem with this. Some of the locals were pissed. What says the ot?
I would have welcomed that, instead I ended up taking a few pounds of candy to the office this morning since trick or treating was a dud in my neighborhood.

They came by my house in Capital Heights. They were just like every other kid that came by. They said "trick or treat" and "thank you."

t least they could have fun without the fear of being shot. I think bussing them to better, safer areas is a great idea.

I'm in Webb Park. We has a party in another hood. We put out a bowl of candy with a sign that said: "Take a few and leave some for your friends"
When I returned home, there was still some candy left in the bowl. Good for those kids if they came by my house.

Sounds like good trick or treating to me. I don't see any problem with kids from poor neighborhood being bussed into a nicer area to trick or treat...as long as they're polite. If its poor kids, some of them may not be able to afford a costume so I don't hold that against them...as long as its kids, not high school aged.
Last night only trick or treaters by my house all night were a group of about 10, one kid was about 8-9 with a costume. The other 9 in the group were teenagers with no costumes holding their school backpacks (textbooks still inside) open for candy. I turned my lights off around 7:30 because no kids were coming around the neighborhood and figured if anyone else came by that time, it was gonna be 16 year olds

I love that kids from the poorer parts of town come to my neighborhood to trick or treat. They are always very polite and truly thankful for the candy. Parents seem appreciative too.

I live in Mid-City...on a pretty popular Trick or Treating street. It's a mix of neighborhood kids and people that drive in from locations north of us.
I had 240 pieces of candy and I can honestly say that I had 238 good kids come by. Almost all in costume, smiling, saying "trick or treat" and "thank you, happy halloween!". No one stuck their hand in the candy bowl. They all politely waited.
Right when it was really packed, we had about 15-20 kids basically all outside at once and one of these "bused in kids" ran up from the side all excited. Before I could even correct him to wait his turn, his older teenage brother who was chaperoning told him to "act like a gentleman and wait his turn in line".
