Police hope family weekend will deter Halloween problems

According to this article, “Police hope family weekend will deter Halloween problems," Carbondale police wants that people have fun Halloween without drinking. In the mid 80’s, Carbondale Halloween was very confused because people, especially young, drank too much then they made some troubles, such as breaking widows, fighting others, and making car accidents. So, Carbondale city has banned that bars and liquor shops open during Halloween weekend. However, some people argue about this banning because bars and liquor shops lose a lot of income. In addition, police suggests that people take care about drunk driver.

I think this banning is inevitable because if bars and liquor shops sell beer again, we come back to the mid 80’s. I can understand that SIU students want to be a spree because they are usually good students and they want to reduce feeling stress and boring. However, we should not violate the law.
