Raleigh, N.C. — A massive fight that involved hundreds of people and forced the evacuation of Triangle Town Center mall was gang related, Raleigh police said.

when will these Amish kids learn? or were they Irish?
That's why all the new shopping centers are strip malls.
They have no congregation area for people who aren't shopping anyway.
A pity Andy & Barney weren’t there to restore order ...
“Christopher James Gamble, 17, is accused of stabbing a 15-year-old boy in the buttocks during a fight “
Momma always said, “Watch your butt-tocks, Forrest.”
This never happens shopping on Amazon.
I would love to see what some of the old school cops would have done to these kids. From the age I’d say all the bunch of them need is a good beating.
They were Democrats and future Democrats.
Hope. Change.
I'm thinking misunderstood, white, alter boys.
My how things have changed...
Even television back then set a good example, was decent and fun.
Very sad watching this happen to America.
Gang bangers, especially in prison, will often go for the butt.
It makes a statement without killing the guy.
My daughter used to hang out at the mall occasionally and I guarantee you she never caused trouble, BUT mobs of teenagers tend to scare folks away, so even the good kids hurt business. The biggest mall in my area no longer allows anybody under 18 without an adult after 6 p.m. on weekends.
As long as we tolerate this nonsense, it will only get worse.
..same behavior pattern as country of origin only w/o malls.
Hearing a lot about growing gang problems in NC....
Mexicans and Blacks no doubt.
So many purses, so little time; how’s mugger supposed to decide - does he wait for their exit or snatch them before they go inside?
“same behavior pattern as country of origin...”
Country of origin? When I saw the headline, my first thought was MS 13, but most of the names sound black, none Hispanic. What country did you have in mind?
“Up to 300 involved.”
Did they ready their breakfasts and eat hearty before going to the mall?
I'm sorry but this is about the funniest damn statement I've ever read in an article.
