If not, between thugs and Amazon, malls will die a slow and agonizing death.
It's too late. Malls all over the country have closed or are closing because they weren't profitable. Places that were filled with high end businesses in the '70s were driven out of business precisely because of of the presence of gangs of "teens".
White people abandoned the malls out of fear for their safety and took their purchasing power with them. They were replaced by "teens" who flocked to the malls to do their Christmas shoplifting.
Now Amazon owns American commerce, which is the death blow to large urban shopping malls. And all that's left are the "teens", who are looking for a new place to hang out.
