Its too bad the story has to call them ‘juveniles’. The videos make it more clear.
What they are is inner city (ghetto) Minneapolis black kids who have nothing better to do.
They ride the nearly-free Metro train (thanks to taxpayers) down to the MOA, where they ‘hang out’
It has gotten worse at MOA since the one mall in their own neighborhood Brookdale had to be torn down.
That one had to be closed and razed because these same punks took over, and most shoppers with any money were afraid to go there.
I heard other people call that mall “Blackdale” before it closed.
Blacks outnumbered whites about 20 to 1 at Brookdale, and it was a bit scary going there.
This same thing could happen to MOA if the gangs aren’t controlled.
And taxpayers shouldn’t be subsidizing the fares of these thugs to ride from Minneapolis to MOA.
Triple the transit fares, and hire more cops, or good luck getting whites to shop there.
They’ll go to Southdale or one of the other ‘Dale’s that does not have subsidized Metro train service.
MOA has a very delicate problem. I have no idea how they are going to handle it without Holder dropping the hammer on them.
Who the heck did they think was going to take that train? Rich matrons from Edina?
“On the first day of Kwanzaa the ferals gave to me
a giagantic food court melee”
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.
Thanks Future Useless Eater.
Nailed it.
Our shopper centers west of Newark NJ have bus access, but that’s it - certainly not the very cheap fare you mention to get to Mall of America (to get from our hotel to the train station was completely free). Any attempts to extend train lines to those wealthy ‘burbs in NJ have been quickly beaten down; Those Of Whom We Don’t Speak have a well-earned reputation for violence and pillaging.
>What they are is inner city (ghetto) Minneapolis black kids who have nothing better to do.
Agreed.
>They ride the nearly-free Metro train (thanks to taxpayers) down to the MOA, where they ‘hang out’
Slow down there.. The tickets aren’t nearly free. It costs about 1.75 for a ticket there and 1.75 for a ticket back. If it’s rush hour, you end up spending about 5 bucks for transportation to and from anywhere. Chances are, if you ride the bus, you earn less than 20K a year. 3-5 bucks a day for transportation cuts into your budget.
And the last time I checked, the Mall was paid for by the public. As much as they’re boisterous and offensive, they have a right to assemble at the mall.
>It has gotten worse at MOA since the one mall in their own neighborhood Brookdale had to be torn down.
Agreed. I saw the decline.
>That one had to be closed and razed because these same punks took over, and most shoppers with any money were afraid to go there.
Shoplifting was the reason why the stores decided to go out of business.
>I heard other people call that mall “Blackdale” before it closed.

It wasn’t that scary for me. I could tell the difference between the yutes and the regular people who wanted to shop there. (Bowlderized Chris Rock reference).
>This same thing could happen to MOA if the gangs aren’t controlled.
Citizens need to take care of their own security. The cops don’t have a legal right to protect you.
>And taxpayers shouldn’t be subsidizing the fares of these thugs to ride from Minneapolis to MOA.
They make up a minority of all commuters on the transit system. The majority are usually people who go to and from work, which is what transit is designed for.
>Triple the transit fares,
All that’ll do is make transit prohibitively expensive for people who don’t commit any crimes, further stagnating the economy. You’ll see changed behaviors, primarially yutes riding their bikes to the MOA. And what should we do then? Ban bikes from the MOA? Good luck.
>and hire more cops,
Be careful what you wish for. More cops != more security.
>or good luck getting whites to shop there.
Why don’t whites learn from the people who are stuck in the inner city and start carrying weapons for self defense? They’re not that hard to attain nor manufacture. Pepper spray is easy to get, and you can make a simple blunt force weapon by stuffing some pennies or a bar of soap in a sock. I did it all the time back when I lived in the inner city. Pepper spray is enough deterrence to most of these hoodrats.
>They’ll go to Southdale or one of the other ‘Dale’s that does not have subsidized Metro train service.
Route 6 goes to Southdale and they have the same problem at Southdale. Eliminating bus service would be an alternative, but seeing as so many of those malls depend on low waged workers, that’s an impractical solution.
The problem is that the PC Malls in this area don’t allow people to conceal and carry. (Which is why I mentioned carrying a soap sock and pepper spray) Start allowing people to carry weapons on them and start confronting these yutes instead of cowering from them and you’ll see mall violence plummet. Yutes hate it when people confront them. I’ve confronted a few when I lived in the inner city and they all backed down. An armed society is a polite society.
