Watch the video. The story doesn't mention the characteristics of the mob members. Wonder why not?

Mpls. Police Ponder 8 P.M. Curfew After Youth Mob Attacks

There have been six mob attacks, in all, since February. Now, police are now wondering if an 8 o’clock curfew keeping anyone 17 and under from two downtown streets will stop the violence.

Nicollet Mall is a destination for many. Outdoor patios where drinks and food are served are a draw not only to people who live here, but also tourist.

Since February, when the sun goes down, later in the evening, mobs of teens take advantage of the darkness and attack.

A video captured on 6th Street and Nicollet shows how the mob of teens viciously attacks innocent people.

Police have made four arrests, but continue to search for others. They’ve beefed up patrols and monitor video from cameras that cover the entire downtown area.

I am pleased you find my advice useful.

I did. We made it as far as Texas before we boomaranged. Gonna have to wait for the In-laws to either move to Arizona or die before I’ll get another chance to get my Wife to consider moving.

Would really love to set up shop in the Black Hills of South Dakota.

Nope. For at least the next decade, I’m stuck unless fortunes really change.
