talking about trick or treat I'd rather see littles ones out getting candy then to see these BIG grow up adults out being mean & not caring about anything else if a grow up wants to go out for candy with kids or by their selfs then that's should be ok & if they want to crack down then crack down on drunk drivers & others that loves to things up & hurt others for no reason. it's stupid.
