“Hopefully someone will sue the mall out of existance for preventing them from defending their life.”
This is a point that needs to be hammered hammered hammered! If a private business takes away one’s capability of self-defense, it should provide “security.” It would end up costing less for a business to waive responsibility for protecting its customers than to provide security and still be liable for the performance of that security.
WHERE WERE THE SHEEPDOGS!?!?!
Notice the ages and sexes of the victims. Old men, middle aged women, for the most part. Not your classic sheepdog demographics. Some Texas old women, and old men OTOH... well I remember the granny from Arlington who shot the intruder in her home, all while the 911 operator is saying "Tell her not to shoot him" and then "tell her not to shoot him *again*". Or the more recent "Old duffer" verses two much younger thugs in Pasadena, who demonstrated how a 12 gauge evens the odds, or actually tips them to the old dude, provided he's the one with the shotgun.
