Several Fights Reported At Mall Of America, 9 Arrested: Police
CBS Minnesota ^ | December 26, 2011 | WCCO

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (WCCO) – Police arrested nine people at the Mall of America Monday, the day after Christmas, after multiple fights broke out, authorities said.

Mall of America officials released a statement saying that around 4:20 p.m. 50 juveniles caused a large disturbance in the north food court.

Witnesses said the fights started after there were reports that rappers Lil’ Wayne and Drake were visiting the Mall. Police, however, did not comment on these rumors.

Cmdr. Mark Stehlik of Bloomington police said in a press conference that 30 officers responded to the fight and arrested five people (both adults and juveniles) for disorderly conduct.

Following the initial fight in the food court, more fights broke out throughout the Mall, and police arrested four other people, Stehlik said.

Police said as many as 200 were involved the fights. A YouTube video, which contains profanity, shows a fight break out and rage before a police officer interrupts it. The fight occurs at roughly 50 seconds in.

As the fights were popping up, the Mall of America inadvertently called for a lock down. But the lock down was called off minutes later, Mall officials said.

Although the Mall is keeping its normal hours, some stores within the Mall have closed.

Some witnesses reported being evacuated from the Mall; but police said that shoppers were escorted toward the east exit to make room for the investigation, Stehlik said.

According to Stehlik, no weapons were recovered, and there are no reports of burglary. However, there is YouTube video of chairs being thrown.

MOA has very capable security. This mission has to be a nightmare though.

That is so sad to hear.

I went to the MOA years ago. I was in awe of the size of the place, and the variety of shops was bewildering.

To think that White Flight will attack it is sad.

Until white folks can stop acting stupid, especially the police, minorities will have no other avenue to express their frustration with this awful place to live. Ask the President if you doubt what I say. Sadly this is true in all 57 states.

Wouldn’t make any sense being one if you couldn’t act like one.

Holder's People will soon reduce everything in America into a gang-banging ghetto slum.

Normal people will be standing security watches around the clock in their own homes with loaded weapons in hand.

A trip to the grocers will be a tactical neighborhood deployment in sufficient numbers to provide mutual security complete with lookouts and armed protection.

Not going to happen, given the fact our government coddles these folks and enacts laws to protect them. In fact William, your post could be construed as being offensive or hateful and you could be subject to legal action.

Afghanistan has a very capable (US) military, too ... but I wouldn't want to go shopping there. :(
