Societal breakdown, mayhem, etc.
Two reasons for me keep me away from the malls at this time of year: The crowds and the parking. Who needs it? Especially when so much can be bought online these days.
I’ve been in death metal mosh pits that looked tamer!

Obama’s people.
Happened at Arundel Mills mall in Maryland.
Maryland "Freak State" PING!
I went very briefly in the afternoon. Once the morning mayhem is over and the tent city is cleaned up the day is pretty much like any other. Hard to tell there was any kind of special shopping event at all.
More evidence of a culture in decline. So sad.

Black Friday Brawl At Roseville Galleria Caught On Tape
ROSEVILLE (CBS13) Fists flew during a Black Friday fight at the Roseville Galleria as three men trade blows, knocking down a display. They were possibly fighting over a pair of shoes.
It happened in the middle of the mall, as families watched in horror.
The sea of chaos was the last thing Lawrence Corpus thought hed see while Black Friday shopping with his family at the Westfield Galleria.
It could have easily become a riot, said Corpus.
But when fists started flying, Corpus pulled out his iPhone and began recording.
I know a guy took the top of a trash can and actually threw it at (one of the other men), witness Chase said.
Previews of coming attractions.
If this is how “they” act when (sometimes) paying for stuff, imagine the chimping-out when the real SHTF.
PS...since we’re in a PC world, by chimping-out, I refer to those of the human species who act like animals. And they come in all sizes and colors.
Draw your own conclusions...but these cautionary tales should be added to the Prepper PING list.
In lieu of the NHL, we have black Friday.
I'm here on my home ground until I get carried off. I was born here, I'll die here... (insert Gabby Johnson rant).

Probably just me but Arundel Mills surprised me. I never had any issues when shopping at the Burlington Coat Factory or Costco there. I guess what is scary is I go to that location rather than Gaithersburg or Wheaton. ... sigh.
The so-called “men” stealing a boy’s shopping bag outside Bed Bath & Beyond oughta be beaten within an inch of their lives once caught. I will not patronize Arundel Mills Mall or patronize Maryland Live! casino because that’s always been a bad neighborhood and because you can’t smoke in the casino.
Do you recall when the USA was actually civilized? I remember, many years ago, going into the city alone as a kid, walking home in the city from school, church, friends. I remember my grandmother doing the same thing.
Yes, we once had a civilization. Hold fast to those memories. They are just memories. All that is gone now.
Yep, the veneer of civilization is thin.
