Police locked down Rosedale Center on Saturday evening after a melee broke out; chairs flew and one teen was stabbed.

Roseville police called to the mall shortly before 8 p.m. had early clues that this was no ordinary scuffle: The first reports described a dozen people fighting near the upper-level Herberger's store entrance, using chairs as weapons.

When they arrived, officers said, they found several dozen young people fighting, and an 18-year-old victim with severe lacerations on his face. As they began searching for a suspect, large groups of teenagers refused to clear the area and more fights reportedly broke out in the mall, police said. More officers were called in, including two K9 units.

Then police learned that another victim, a 16-year-old boy, had been found stabbed in the back near the interior entrance to the restaurant Ruby Tuesday.

Count on the Red Star Tribune not to reveal the demographics of the yutes. I would say he probability of the yutes being a certain group is higher than the 10% proportion of the population of the area.

I wish the news would point out the ethnic origin of the folks involved. They almost never do unless they are white.

Rosedale Center mall cleared as teens are stabbed in massive brawl

A 17-year-old boy is in custody at Ramsey County’s Juvenile Detention Center for his possible role in knife attacks during a massive brawl at the Rosedale Center on Saturday that left two other teenagers wounded.

The Pioneer Press said the fights forced cops to evacuate the mall and lock it down, after they responded to a call at 7:45 p.m. and found dozens of teenagers and young adults in a fight, some of them swinging chairs.

Roseville police officers found an 18-year-old victim with severe lacerations on his face and as they began searching for a suspect, large groups of teenagers refused to clear the area and more fights reportedly broke out in the mall. More officers were called in, including two K9 units.

Then another victim, a 16-year-old boy, was found stabbed in the back near the interior entrance to Ruby Tuesday’s restaurant.

If they don’t report the “demographics” of the perps, that tells you all that you need to know.

No question. Amish youth weren’t throwing chairs at the mall.

So much for my Mom’s advice, “Nothing good ever happens after midnight.”

I’m assuming this Rosedale in in MN? Not that it matters; this is common in all 57 states.

It’s been awhile since I’ve been to Rosedale...but I don’t think I ever saw anyone who wasn’t white shopping there.
