Authorities arrested at least nine people after a "series of fights" at the nation's biggest shopping mall sent chairs flying and caused after-Christmas shoppers to flee, officials in Minnesota said Tuesday.

Police and security officers at the Mall of America arrested a mix of young adults and juveniles after a food-court fight around 4 p.m. Monday broke up into brawls elsewhere in the shopping center, Bloomington Police Department Commander Mark Stehlik said. At one point, police received reports of up to 10 separate fights, he said.

Video of one incident showed a man picking up a chair to throw as crowds of shoppers, some screaming, fled a mall food court. The video also showed a group of what appeared to be youths brawling before police officers intervened.

Perhaps stories like this are why gun sales hit an all time high in December.

Mall of America?

I'm perplexed as to why Bloomington isn't selling tickets to such events.

They could help fund the light rail operations that are in the red so the rides for the malcontents to get to the mall don't stop.

I dread going to the mall, nothing but roaming bands of shiftless thugs looking to hook up or who knows what.

I much prefer the large outdoor type malls

Flash mobs were the auditions.

OWS was the dress rehearsal

Mall of America is a preview of coming attractions.

Wait until the political conventions next summer for the big show.

Is this becoming a nation-wide trend? Something similar happened here , in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Has anyone else had this happen in their area?

This is one of the reasons I now do most of my shopping on-line.

If Obama looks like he's in trouble, look for the gloves to completely come off. They will trash Repub campaign offices, harass Repub contributors, and generally create trouble.

I’d start a fight too if someone tried to make me watch Drake And Lil Wayne.

Do not forget all the knock out games the hood scum are playing. I think they killed a man with one of the hits. It is when they walk up and sucker punch some one not looking. It has mostly been African Blacks on white,asian and hispanic victums.. This type of thing is going to spur the spark that ignites the country.. IMHO
