Back in 2012 in a upscale mall outside of Portland, I witnessed three hoods threatening a retired couple.
They were all in their 20’s, over 6’ and of course Obama supporters.
I put my hand in my pocket and suggested they find something else to do.
Until the last 6 months, it always seemed a bit strange.
Ms Kimber will be with me the next time this happens.
When my son was 17, he got a job at the mall for a very upscale clothing place catering to teens and college folks with too much $$$ and had to spend it on something. Frankly he was a chick magnet athlete. Besides competitive swimming, football, basketball, etc, he had a number of years of karate then kick boxing.
A few months into the job, he was leaving the mall and there were 3 gang guys hanging around outside the exit that decided to hassle and push around the preppy white guy. In 30 seconds all three were and the ground and not going anywhere soon. The mall cops were sitting in an office eating donuts and called the police, who showed up real quickly. They initially detained my son for assault but the mall cops ran out of donuts and showed the real cops closed circuit video so they released my son and arrested the 3 gang guys. My son was never interviewed later by the cops much less called to any trial so we figgered that they had a get out of jail free card.
Several key things to how this went down how it did. First, the mall cops had fresh donuts so were too busy to call the cops to run off the gang guys, who they had been observing for awhile. Next, the preppy guy was controlled chaos in nice clothes. He was sparring with police officers starting when he was 10 and had a few black belt degrees. The last thing is that my son was fired from his job because of some image issue. Personally, I think he would have drawn even more girls into the store.
