Teesside 'eggings' prompt calls for teen shopping ban

[Origanalist]

A batch of "eggings" has prompted calls to ban teenagers from buying eggs, flour, ketchup and mayonnaise.

Young people have been throwing baking goods and condiments at cars and houses in the suburbs of Nunthorpe and Marton on Teesside.

Independent councillor Jon Rathmell said there had been a "spike in anti-social behaviour" in the past two weeks.

Cleveland Police has been contacted for comment.

"The latest craze appears to be them buying eggs and flour to throw at people's houses and cars," Mr Rathmell said.

"It is unacceptable and distressing for the victims."

Residents posting on social media have called the mess "not a prank or funny" and called the culprits "mindless idiots".

Mr Rathmell has called on local businesses to refuse to sell certain items to children or teenagers who are in groups or look like they are "up to mischief".

Shop owner Sag Hussain was one of those who supported the idea, the Local Democracy Reporting Service said.

His approach to anti-social behaviour was to "nip it in the bud and take positive action", he said.

Better ban balloons too. You don't want people getting hit with water balloons, snot funny.

Maybe if they have a note from their mother.

Dog poop and paper bags?

Toilet paper in trees?

Horror of horrors..........

Selling eggs to young people in Teeside is not without dangers . There is a university there . A university is a large conglomerate of kids who don't want to grow up . This is how it is defined in the Oyarde dictionary .

Young people do stupid stuff. That will never change.

If we don't start registering eggs this will continue and likely get much worse.
No one should be allowed to by the 18 paks, what do they need that many for.....

We have a bill in the House to remove all 18 paks from store shelves, and eventually cut the Dozen
Carton paks and replace them with single shot sales, 2 and 4 (max) cartons.
@TheTexan Will be here shortly to make the point that eggs are not
used for hunting , therefore not protected under the 2nd amendment.

It’s not like they can’t just get them from their parents fridge. Ban teenagers.

Increase surveillance and enforcement. Zero tolerance.

Add tracking tags to each carton of eggs if necessary.
