Hubei woman calls police after losing $1,200 playing mahjong in park; how should the actions of those involved be characterized?

I think the behavior of the people involved should be defined as mob gambling.

First, playing mahjong in the park is prohibited.

Nowadays, many areas or neighborhoods are equipped with parks, which are designed to allow the elderly or people to have a place to walk and play after dinner. The park is a public **** place for our activities and fitness, not a criminal place for us to carry out illegal behaviors. We can see those playing chess and dancing in the park, these are allowed. But if openly in the park to gather the masses to play mahjong, is indeed prohibited behavior.

Two, playing mahjong lost 1200 yuan, why the police.

The park belongs to the public **** place, the public **** place has a clear regulation, do not allow in the public **** place to carry out any illegal things. Hubei this woman and a few friends together in the park to play mahjong, at first just ordinary entertainment, and then some people feel not happy, and then the money as chips. At first won a hand, and then kept losing, not long, Hubei the woman lost 1200 yuan. Hubei woman thought, this is belong to fraud, a few of them teamed up to cheat my money, so they called the police, but why did not think of crowd gambling is a criminal offense? Lost 1,200 yuan, why call the police?

Three, the behavior of the people involved should be defined as crowd gambling.

Police were also the first to arrive at the park after receiving the call to the police to take control of all those who were playing mahjong. If you look at it from a legal point of view, the woman in Hubei is not a victim. Because she is voluntarily participate in playing mahjong, and play mahjong originally have winners and losers, should not feel that they lost 1,200 yuan is fraud. Other people although there is no fraud, but a few people get together to gamble is also illegal and criminal things, so I think the people involved should not be defined as fraud, should be characterized as crowd gambling. The people involved will all be penalized.
