Massive Brawl Involving Over A Hundred Teens Closes Down Two California Malls
Newsweek ^ | Dec, 27, 2019, | K Thor Jensen

Posted on 12/27/2019 3:35:42 PM PST by Morgana

A conflict involving well over 100 teens in Stockton, California, resulted in the closure of two malls as the violence spread wildly out of control.

KCRA reported that the chaos began at around 5:30 p.m. Thursday at the Weberstown Mall. Police say that between 150 and 200 juveniles were involved in a large-scale skirmish at the shopping center. Fifteen police cruisers were dispatched to the scene, and officers worked to evacuate the combatants and lock down several entrances to the mall to prevent them from coming back inside.

Once the brawling teens were escorted to the parking lot, a number of additional fistfights began to erupt as police and security tried to calm the crowd.

The group then crossed Yokuts Avenue to invade the Sherwood Mall. Seeing the crowd coming, Sherwood Mall staff placed their facility on lockdown as well. Police eventually managed to disperse the crowd, but no one was arrested.

One participant was taken to the hospital with unspecified injuries. An additional report of a female employee being assaulted at the mall's AT&T store has not been confirmed.

In video of the event, posted on social media, groups can be seen throwing punches and pulling people apart from clinches, then running when police arrive.

That might be true. To be honest I never watched the Big Valley, but I did watch Bonanza, even in Japan. 8>)

I even met Hoss once at a rodeo in Arizona. He was a big jolly man, just like he was on TV. 8>)

Deliveries will be tomorrow or on Sunday.

Again no riots nor angry drivers in the parking lots.

Don’t have to Gramps. They will follow the Amazon van and when its delivered, steal all the crap off your stoop. They hate the violence, but love the thug life.

On the bright side, it isn’t easy to throw a good punch when you are holding your cellphone to video record your assaults.

Clothing/shoes is probably the only reason to physically enter a store.

One big problem is for something specialized (an electronic component, for example) people might show up to the store to see if it is what they need (trying it out/ensuring it fits), then they leave and order it online for less money.

When a nearby mall had a tattoo shop open, and many of its retailers had morphed into food-centered places, it was clear brick-and-mortar retail was in for a rough time. The Kohls policy of accepting Amazon returns was smart - gave you a reason to at least show up in the store.

So many girls in the riot, grinning and laughing and jumping for joy over being so naughty (anonymously).

Laughing about rioting.

America has several bad cancers. This is one of them.

It must be National “TEENS” FIGHT AT THE MALL DAY or something.

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Bloomington police say about 50 juveniles were escorted off Mall of America property Friday night after a large brawl.

It started at about 7 p.m., and eventually broke into a couple of separate fights within the group of juveniles. It is not clear what part of the mall the melee occurred.

Police say mall security used chemical spray to help stop the fights.

I think these incidents are one of the reasons we’re going back to outdoor malls Amazon is going to be even more popular than it already is.

“Clothing/shoes is probably the only reason to physically enter a store.”

That is why we went to a Pendleton store for me to try on shirts and sweaters.

Even there, size was basically irrelevant. The western style shirt that fit me was a plain Jane/John large. Some larges off the same rack didn’t fit me.

The sweater my wife bought me was an extra large size. The other non Pendleton sweaters at our home that fit me, are large to to extra large.

One of our adult sons loves Uggs shoes, and each Christmas he buys my wife and I a new pair on line. They fit again this year. Last year’s inside Uggs become our outside go to the store shoes. The older ones become the work outside shoes.

So will other stores when they become more like Amazon.

I find sizes too unpredictable to order online; it seems “large” is now “Mexican adult” and “extra large” is the former “American large”. Doesn’t help that I’m fatter now, but I notice it in the length itself (sleeves, for example).
