Mall mayhem: Fights break out across the US
CNN ^ | December 27, 2016 | Sara Sidner, Azadeh Ansari and Max Blau

Posted on 12/28/2016 1:20:20 AM PST by Zakeet

Massive brawls and food-court fights played out at more than a dozen malls across the country in what proved to be a chaotic day after Christmas.

Some of the mayhem was captured on social media. The chaos prevented some shoppers from grabbing clothes off clearance racks and returning gifts.

The mall incidents, which ranged from minor melees to mass evacuations, occurred from Colorado to Tennessee and Texas to New Jersey.

Police in some cities are investigating the role social media may have played in organizing the disturbances. The motive behind the mall brawls is not yet known.

Here's what happened at nine of those malls.

Note: Rumbles took place in Aurora, Colorado ... Aurora, Illinois ... Memphis, Tennessee ... Chattanooga, Tennessee ... Fayetteville, North Carolina ... Elizabeth, New Jersey ... Manchester, Connecticut ... Fort Worth, Texas ... and Beachwood, Ohio

The newsers were silent on the matter, so you can be assured that the fights had absolutely nothing in common other than juvenile involvement ... so quit thinking what you're thinking about safe Democrat districts and the inhabitants thereof.

Mobs of black, low-life thugs doing what low-life thugs do. They shouldn't try to over analyze this.

It's just thugs being thugs and it's time society put a stop to this because a lot of those thugs are going to get hurt real bad if they don't cool it.

Expect all shopping centers to ban anyone under 18 unless accompanied by a parent or legal guardian after 6 pm. That will put a quick end to most of these shenanigans, in my opinion!

Maybe they weren’t happy with their Christmas shoplifting gifts.

Who coordinated the fights and paid for them to occur?

I sure can guess...they just don’t have the ring of spontaneity.

Not going to happen with all the stores in malls that cater to the afterschool teen crowd.

There is a trade-off, though; they lose the working (read: paying) customers when the larcenous unassimilated “youths” show up...

They may believe that their regular profits will outweigh this.

Doesn’t really matter too much at this point - the classic all-indoor shopping mall is rapidly becoming a thing of the past, replaced by all-outdoor facilities - well, if it gets replaced with anything. Because of this sort of stupidity, people are increasingly just ordering online.

Definitely true; I rarely go to malls anymore (less than once a year), and the last couple of times I was surprised 1) at how many foreigners were there, almost as though they were visiting a museum (no bags of purchases, just window-shopping), and 2) how many areas formerly housing retail space were geared towards food/snacks or something else (in one case, a tattoo parlor).

I live about 20 minutes from both the mall in Elizabeth NJ that was just in the news, as well as the one in Jersey City that was in the news last week, and I’ve been to each one exactly once in my life (many years ago). Americans in my area that want to go to a mall always head west; they are safer, cleaner places less accessible to ghetto clientele.

Online shopping IS picking up as anticipated, and just the exposure to these creatures tearing these places up is sufficient deterrent.

BTW, these malls are in financial trouble; they know their regular profits aren’t replacing what they’ve lost. People can’t buy $600 sneakers with EBT/WIC cards.
