In my area, most of the shopping malls have public transportation. Two of the malls are in trouble. One has already closed; the other is practically empty, and a new owner intends to convert most of the space into offices. The official explanation is the bad economy, but the real reason is the unruly urban youth.

A new mall opened north of the city a couple of years ago. The owners were smart. They made sure there would be no public transit to this mall. Made some people unhappy, but too bad. The owners don’t want to see their new mall trashed.

Yep. Here in Jacksonville we have the Regency Square Mall. It's a ghost town. Pretty sad to walk through what was once a great place and see three shuttered storefronts for every opened one. A couple holiday seasons ago gunfire erupted between feral youths and an innocent kiosk worker got hit. That was pretty much the last nail in the coffin for Regency.

Well, just wait until the Federal Highway Administration's Office of Civil Rights are finished with this mall owner and all you taxpayers will get the wonderful joy of forking over whatever funding is required to import thugs to your nice new mall. Ain't it great!

Don’t you wish that we could have honest plain speaking discussions of problems? In this case, the mall owners are blaming the economy for the problems. I’m sure that’s because it’s “politically incorrect” to blame ghetto youth for trashing the place or scaring away shoppers.

Imagine if the mall owners said out loud that these “youth” were causing problems. Eric Holder would be after them, and the IRS would also decide to do an audit.

Speaking of Eric Holder, he has lectured us that we don’t have honest discussions about race matters. Would Eric Holder like to have an honest discussion about race and the behavior of certain members of certain races?
