Hundreds of youths descended upon a north Jersey mall Saturday night in a meet-up that was reportedly pre-planned on TikTok and led to a massive brawl.
Seven minors were arrested in the chaotic melee that was spurred by TikTok posts calling for juveniles to meet up at the Menlo Park Mall in Edison, New Jersey, that night, according to officials and local reports.
The out-of-control gathering soon grew exponentially from just 100 people to “over 300 youth” from across the Garden State shortly after 8 p.m., Edison Mayor Sam Joshi wrote on social media.
At least four of the seven minors who were arrested were from other towns, according to Joshi.
Edison police had to call for back-up from neighboring police departments to clear out the hooligans.
As cops worked to get the rowdy crowd under control, one officer fractured their ankle, Edison Police Chief Tom Bryan told My Central Jersey.
None of the youths were injured and no weapons were recovered, cops said.
Of the seven arrested, one was charged with aggravated assault on an officer, and six others face disorderly conduct charges. One person was charged with both disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, Bryan told the outlet.
Some participating youth shared posts on TikTok and Instagram leading up to the swarm, telling people to show up at the mall at 7 p.m.

We need to do a better job of educating them.

First we have to do a much better job of educating their teachers!
I get what you're saying. It would be nice to see the term exponential only used if the exponent is 2 or greater.
100 1.23856 = 300
I’m surprised that TikTok has not been blamed for this yet... When they could have done this very same thing using any platform, Signal, Facebook, Bluesky, Telegram, Etc.
There is nothing racist with pointing out facts. Facts are not racist.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
BINGO! Of course there will always be people who believe and contend that whatever they think and say are facts, and therefore reality is simply whatever they think or say it is!
No, but it is a realist board.
Soooo, the pic of Jane Goodall doesn’t bother you? Okaaayy...
“No, but it is a realist board.”
What is “real” is the fact we are not doing ourselves any favors if we want to return this country back to a Christian Conservative majority and defeat the Democrat communists who have brainwashed these other races.
What is also real is that there are some here who purposely search for stuff like this to post so they can attract and bolster racism. It is counterproductive and self defeating for the conservative cause.
Do we want to win or not? Because stepping on your own toes is NOT how you do it...
ROFLMAO!
Oh, don’t give us none of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Oh, Saturday night’s alright for fighting
Get a little action in
Please stop this saying and the meme that usually accompanies it. FR is not a racist board.
As Chris Rock said, there are two kinds of black people.
So the best thing to do is simply ignore it, correct?
It’s not like 13% of a certain demographic (actually about 6% if you only count the males) disproportionately commits 50 to 60 percent of the violent crime in this nation. It’s just best to ignore it and it’ll go away.
It’s not nonsense. What is nonsense is blaming people like me who point out certain features of certain groups. If you condone their behavior, fine. I don’t, and will continue to comment as I see fit. If they stop it, I’ll stop it.
Undeveloped minds are always the most dangerous.
Teenagers die at a high rate for a reason.
Urban blacks have an overall culture. It is a fact. Unfortunately, that culture is generally destructive to an organized society. There’s no point in being pollyannish about it.
It’s racist to notice.
“It’s not like 13% of a certain demographic (actually about 6% if you only count the males) disproportionately commits 50 to 60 percent of the violent crime in this nation. It’s just best to ignore it and it’ll go away.”
So that makes everyone who is black automatically a criminal by default? That is just like them claiming that everyone white is a racist supremacist. Neither is true in fact. If we want to change that stereotyping of both cultures the good of both cultures will have to come together towards one common righteous end.
Now step back and look at this in whole historically. You have been played... You have been played by none other than Barrack Hussein Obama. Both sides have allowed themselves to be played by this individual. His goals and agenda to divide and conquer are winning because we fell for it lock stock and barrel.
We had very few race issues until he pitted both races against each other as they are now. And to oblige him is to give him a win for his efforts to create the very division we have now. We are never going to win this if we continue to step on our own toes and allow this effort to prevail.
If we think we are morally superior then we should act like it by real example. We need to stop making their argument a correct argument. Do we not need the help of those in their culture who are not criminals and who are indeed law abiding citizens? Here is one I’ll bet you never thought of...
Right here in this community there are quite a few members who are of other races. They are here to support both Christian and Conservative causes. But they are afraid to reveal their ethnicity because they know they will be persecuted and excommunicated because they taint the arrogant purism here.
Are these FR members criminals? Should they be weeded out and excommunicated because they do not fully agree with the common stereotypical consensus here about other races? Or do we appreciate their strength and resolve to be part of our effort and cause?
Could we be alienating a very valuable local source of knowledge about other races that could be very helpful in swaying the other races to our cause? Ponder those very real questions before you attempt to justify your racism and step on your own toes...
“Please stop this saying and the meme that usually accompanies it. FR is not a racist board.”
No. FR is a realist board, not a racist board. And it manifestly isn’t racist to call out the constant gaslighting and purposeful omission of key demographic details which time and time again illustrate what everyone knows: most of America’s violent crime and vandalism problems are caused by a single minority demographic. Facts are facts.
I for one will not be shamed into silence. Call out the blatant double standards. Shine the light on EVERY occasion of feral black criminal behavior. Sooner or later enough of us will get fed up enough to take the necessary actions to put a stop to this BS.
Urban blacks have an overall culture. It is a fact. Unfortunately, that culture is generally destructive to an organized society. There’s no point in being pollyannish about it.
The fact is, the White Liberals cater to that subculture, because it’s useful to keep them in power.
