Chain-reaction brawls involving up to 2,000 people erupted in one of Kentucky's largest malls Saturday night, forcing the entire mall and businesses in the surrounding area to shut down, police said.

The hours-long chaos at Mall St. Matthews began about 7 p.m. ET when the six St. Matthews police officers assigned to the mall for the holiday season began responding to "disturbances," said Officer Dennis McDonald, a police spokesman.

"As they were responding to those disturbances, others were breaking out. ... Disturbances started to feed on themselves." McDonald said. "They were just overwhelmed with a number of calls for service and reports of disorder."

The officers on duty at the mall called for backup, and 50 officers from five different agencies responded, according to police.

At the corner of MLK and BHO boulevards, no doubt.

“Kentucky’s Mall St. Matthews Shuts Down After Brawls Involving Up to 2,000”

I was afraid something like this would happen after that woman in South Carolina caved to mob pressure.

The link has a video, but no “juveniles” are shown, as the police called them.

The first day of kwanzaa, no less. This was their show of "unity".

Is this the Festivus day for the 'Airing of Grievances'???

True, but when HUD demand that low income housing be built in your neighborhood so that they can diversify it with urban thugs, and your house loses value and you can’t even sell it and move, even if you can shoot chestnuts that are actually causing you harm you have lost your quality of life.

Two thousand rioters and no arrests. There is a problem right there and shows that the BLM cancer is working. The police are not going to protect you and you will be indicted by the state if you protect yourself. Store owners will need to get like Europe where customers are admitted one by one through locked and buzzer controlled doors - or just buy over the internet and stay away from the ferals.

The problem is that political-correctness is literally killing this country.

“The Bell Curve,” in action. Average American black IQs about 85.

This is being orchestrated by the usual “blame whitey” crowd. They were using government funds to bus them in to Ferguson and for the Treyvon Martin protests. My hunch is that the BLM protests are just the same. The Suspects: DOJ Community Outreach, SEIU, Black Panthers. Soon CAIR will have enough to organize too.

No wonder online shopping is so popular. Look for that to be the future, and malls to go the way of the dinosaur. We will turn into a people huddled behind locked doors, unable to go out.

Two comments:

Write a Science Fiction Novel based on your ideas.

AND...

Support yourself in the process by buying Amazon stock...(or other 'online' stock) 'cause you're right.
