I don’t want to shop where teenagers think it is a place to hang out.
That wasn’t a problem years ago. The kids would maybe buy something at a trendy teen oriented store, but most hung around the food court or went to the movies. Didn’t bother anyone. It was the in thing to go to the mall to see and be seen by your peers.
The ordinary teenagers have been replaced by gangs. They don’t go to the mall to shop or hang around the way kids used to; they go to fight, rob, shoplift, deal drugs and maybe shoot each other. And many aren’t teens. They’re adults.
I suspect there is some organized effort to destroy the malls because they are a symbol of white dominance, or something. I do know that most kids are no longer taught respect for others and their property.
