About 100 teenagers swarmed from a McDonalds to Trader Joes to a new Target store during a riot in East Liberty on Sunday, police said.
Police said the trouble started at Mellon Park, where Mount Ararat Baptist Church had just wrapped up its community picnic.
The Rev. Linda Oliver said that out of an estimated attendance of over 3,000 people, only a fraction of those people are responsible for starting the trouble.
We had a few fights that broke out with the young people, said Oliver.
When reporter Dave Bondy arrived at the scene, police were everywhere. At least a dozen officers were ordering hundreds of teenagers to leave Penn Avenue.
A group of juveniles ran into Target and, according to an employee, they caused a mess in the toy aisle.
They came in Target, they were throwing chairs, everybody went running, said witness Shauny Bowe.
Everybody was just running everywhere, said Bowe. They went to McDonalds, and they told people to get out, cussing and swearing. They were about to taze people. I was scared for my life.

It’s getting to the point where I cannot comment on these threads. If I say what I want to say, it will be pulled.
Ever been to Target during the Christmas season? What a mess!
My understanding from an earlier article is these kids had nothing to do with the church. They showed up at the picnic and then later left and went on this rampage.
Just xxxx out the bad words and everyone will get your drift!
This happens at my church every Sunday right after worship - but it’s usually just a handful of attendees starting the riots... what are you gonna do...
I hear ya, FRiend.
Rush called this in the summer of ‘08 during the campaign. Said that if O was elected, race relations would deteriorate further. He was right.
I could be wrong here as the article just mentions “young people,” “juveniles,” and “teenagers.”
That makes sense. Vultures go after free food.
Church oriented kids are generally less involved in this sort of mayhem than non-church goers. Black or white.

Probably no need to say it -- many of us here are already thinking the same thing(s).
Gets pretty rowdy on Wednesday evenings when choir practice ends here.

I think you are onto something there...Might be a strong message for the country.
Just keeps going. So far, other than Las Vegas, no reports of black riots out here in the West. My wife did witness one snatch and run by about four blacks in a local store.

LINDA? There is part of the problem, right there.
This is all well documented and has been for years. It is universally ignored by the Treason Media as it pushes non-stop for universal depravity.
The crime rate is dramatically lower among worshippers as is the number of OW babies.
The time you save by not commenting and ranting can always be put to good use.
Cleaning and recalibrating your firearms, for example.
Stuff like that!
Yeah. you might almost go deaf from those shouts of “HALLELUJAH!” /s
