Hello, work? This is Homer Simpson.
I won't be coming in tomorrow.
Religious holiday.
The, uh, Feast of Maximum Occupancy.

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.

Typical sports-queer.
Also note AC, that more and more retailers are opening in the exburbs (away from both the suburban and cities).
You can't blame them, all they wanted was to pick out their gifts in the mall..................for free and those bastard store owners refused them. Racism plain and simple, and on Kwanzaa no less.
Almost. Its the tried and true tactic of communists to get minorities and outcasts to do so much violence and disruption they can justify Martial Law and take control.
Your right, you won’t see a riot in a Walmart parking lot in December.
For those riots you need to go to Walmart on the Friday right after Thanksgiving. ;-)

You’d be surprised how fast they can get smart with the right motivation...
Malls are obsolete, +1...
Well said. The fact that no arrests were made should be enough to warn any prospective shopper that the “teens” will be emboldened to do this again.
And that's happening everywhere.
I think they should add apartments and convert them to assisted living facilities. Plenty of room for exercise, no need to go anywhere for shopping...Provide clinic, medicial personnel, limited access and security. Otherwise, they're just sitting there, vacant.
You have to park in a huge garage with thugs roaming around, walk miles to all the stores and if you buy stuff you have haul it all back to your car.
No thanks!
The dirty little secret is that this is exactly why the Republican leadership in Washington will continue to fund Planned Parenthood to the tune of billions of dollars.
Brilliant!
Rocking a passenger train car? What were they, super mutants?
Here’s an angle that is receiving virtually no attention: the riot in Louisville occurred only two hours after a similar event unfolded at the Patrick Henry Mall in Newport News, VA. As in Louisville, the altercation at the Virginia mall began as isolated fights, then quickly spread. As many as 200 “yuts” were involved in the Patrick Henry incident. Some of the stores closed temporarily as shoppers sought refuge behind their security gates.
The police response in Newport News was identical to that in Kentucky: no arrests and no citations. In fact, it was mall security that ordered unaccompanied minors off the premises while the local cops largely observed.
I spoke with a friend of mine at church this morning who is a member of the Newport News PD. He told me the incident is almost certainly gang-related. When I asked him why the police didn’t respond more forcefully, he shook his head and said “you can probably guess the answer to that one.”
There was also an outbreak of violence at a mall near Baltimore last night, in roughly the same time frame as the incidents in Louisville and Newport News. Yet, the media seems remarkably unconcerned about a possible connection between these events (coordinated through social media) and a potential correlation to the BLM movement.
One thing is sure: the tepid response from cops (who hands have been tied by the politicians) will only invite more of this.
