It can be. It's crazy how idiotic folks get when in groups out in public. We watched on broad street right by vets memorial in 2011. It wasn't bad at first, we had a few families around us every one was having a good time. then came a group of 15 or so ghetto teenagers acting a fool thinking they're the shit. Couple families left right when they arrived while a few of us decided to stay. Next thing you know they're getting high and wrestling around. Couple guys asked them nicely to stay in their area after their kids were almost kicked by their ruckus. I wasn't too worried until my pregnant g/f was damn near kicked and they started passing blunts around. Almost got into it with them after that then they moved on. We noticed from a distance about 15 minutes later one in the group got slammed by police and most of thew others were pepper sprayed lol. One could say maybe the g/f shouldn't have been in the ground, but any one who knows women...haha
Also watched a guy get hit in the head with a beer bottle that same night.
