Movies that are set in the 1800’s are fun to watch. They usually center on some really rich family who apparently do nothing but socialize or hunt all day long and interact with their various servants who work hard for their keep and their small wages. The older generation is always advising the younger generation as to what they may and may not do, and what acceptable behavior is for someone in their “station.” A phrase that might come up among the proper ladies and gentlemen who give advice to the younger folk is “don’t make a spectacle of yourself.”
In other words, if you conduct yourself with dignity and do not draw unnecessary attention so that people look at you – it’s a good thing.
It’s the kind of advice that would have been useful for several of the people encountered on August 21, 2011 by the police here in Delaware.
One 19-year-old man went behind a sign on South Sandusky Street near Spring Street to urinate just after midnight. Police ended up arresting him for underage drinking. Didn’t the bar (or his friend’s house) have a restroom?
A 19-year-old woman was acting in a disorderly manner in the first block of Sandusky Street. She was arrested for being intoxicated and for underage drinking, as well as for making a ruckus.
Around 1 pm a 19-year-old woman was acting rather suspiciously over at the Ohio Wesleyan University on S. Liberty St. When police checked it out, she was arrested for possession of marijuana and narcotics.
And a 24-year-old man stole pellet guns from a business on Sunbury Road and ended up being arrested for possession of marijuana as well as for theft.
Do you see a pattern here?
If people were to keep to themselves and their homes, they’d probably not get arrested for underage drinking and using drugs. But then, the whole point of their illegality is that the drugs and the alcohol harm and alter the brain and a person’s judgment is not very good under their influence.
So, yes, they are likely to make a spectacle of themselves when under the influence.
