Chain-reaction brawls involving up to 2,000 people erupted in one of Kentucky's largest malls Saturday night, forcing the entire mall and businesses in the surrounding area to shut down, police said.

The hours-long chaos at Mall St. Matthews began about 7 p.m. ET when the six St. Matthews police officers assigned to the mall for the holiday season began responding to "disturbances," said Officer Dennis McDonald, a police spokesman.

"As they were responding to those disturbances, others were breaking out. ... Disturbances started to feed on themselves." McDonald said. "They were just overwhelmed with a number of calls for service and reports of disorder."

The officers on duty at the mall called for backup, and 50 officers from five different agencies responded, according to police.

The first day of kwanzaa, no less. This was their show of "unity".

Wait till they get to the day where they display their "collective responsibility".

No wonder online shopping is so popular. Look for that to be the future, and malls to go the way of the dinosaur. We will turn into a people huddled behind locked doors, unable to go out.

Malls are obsolete. We have one mall left in our area. I’ve been there twice in ten years. The other major mall is shutting down. And this is shopping central. Three other major malls have shut down, one in response to gang violence. Our Country Club Plaza had some trouble in the summer a few years ago but that’s been settled down and it’s all open so controlled by weather.

Wow. How much tax revenue is lost when they shut down the mall? How much is the government losing over this? I’m surprised the IRS doesn’t step in and put a stop to this nonsense.

McDonald said investigators haven't determined what sparked the outbreak of violence, but they don't believe it was planned.

It's just a mystery melee involving 2,000 people.

It is becoming increasingly obvious that blacks are out of control. Government is in many instances unwilling to impose control on blacks, and seem, in many instances, to be unable to control them. The operative terms for inability to control is “showing great restraint.” “Showing great restraint” is a synonym for “Tolerance.” Of course the true meaning of tolerance in 2015 A.D. being the inability to say “Yes” or “No.” The inability to take a stand.

It’s gonna shut down permanently unless they institute a ban on “teens” unaccompanied by an adult as so many other malls around the nation have.
