late 50's 'hooliganism'

it would be nice if this were the extent of all juvenile delinquency; "clean-cut but wisecracking teenager's rebellion consists of driving too slowly in traffic and putting his feet on the seat in front of him in a movie theater."

by today's standards of juvenile delinquency these offences are quite laughable.

He was even a JD even in those days. Believe me they had more gangs then. Drugs was bad. Today it just seems no one gets in trouble so it looks worse. Back then you got in big trouble. That theater manager was wrong and a bully. He was trying to tell what really happened. But the manager went to far. I never saw this before and I liked it more then the over the top JD movie of the 50's Rebel Without a Cause.
