A Downey mall was shut down Saturday as police attempted to calm a crowd of 2,000 teenagers arriving to see two professional skateboarders scheduled to appear at a local clothing store.
Stonewood Center shopping mall, located in the 200 block of Stonewood Street, was swarmed with fans of professional skateboarders Steven Fernandez, 15, and Keelan Dadd, 27.
Downey police say hundreds converged inside the shopping center while thousands formed a line outside its doors.

The last time a mall was overrun with this many teens Tiffany was giving a free concert.
Judging by all the beer cans and bottles I pick up in the morning I'm guessing there's a fair amount at night, too.
Since there was no violence I’m guessing the attendees were black teens....
However, it did not turn violent. Guess why? Video at link.
Good point.
Video shows that the Mall acted quickly and clamly to defuse the situation.

A too-successful promotion.
