CULVER CITY (CBSLA.com) A large fight at the Westfield Culver City mall Saturday led to pandemonium at the facility, officials said.
The mall, formerly known as the Fox Hills Mall, was unable to handle a brawl between as many as 50 juveniles.
Culver City Police were dispatched to handle the brawl. A SWAT team was also dispatched.
Reports of a male with a gun, or an active shooter on scene, appeared to be erroneous.
After police arrived, teens running through the mall appeared to set off panic among some shoppers.
There were no reports of arrests or injuries.
The erroneous reports led to a large police presence and a mass exodus from the mall.
When I went there occasionally I noticed a heavy African-American presence.
Those wacky kids... not to be confused with responsible young adults...just being kids.
Probably just a misunderstanding..someone said do want to go to the mall and some thought they said do you want to go to the brawl.
“When I went there occasionally I noticed a heavy African-American presence.”
My wife and I were there in the early 70’s and we saw Cary Grant there. Times have changed and not for the better.
Oftentimes the media doesn’t even have to call them teens or youths. Just naming the perps is often all we need to know.
Sh’Queffa.
Tyrique.
Snazelle.
Quannell.
Etc.

Culture matters. Demographics matter. We have a lot more ignorant low lifes with poor manners and low morals today. It is depressing how far our culture has fallen from the 1950s, or maybe I should say these ate subcultures. But when subcultures grow big enough in population, it really becomes a part of your overall culture.
They just wilin’ Kids bein’ kids. How dey suppose to go to school lookin’ fresh if dey ain’t got no clothes.
Barack’s legacy will not be one remembered fondly. Not until we’re all dead and the revisionists have turned him in to a superhero like FDR.
Ah, those pesky juveniles again, youths, teens, all such jokesters.
Meanwhile Blacks continue to complain that businesses are racist because they take a pass on locating in Black communities.
If they were white, they would have said ‘white teenagers.’
It’s the Korean kids again, angry about their SAT scores

Ferals gone wild! ...and they wonder why no civil person wants to be anywhere near them.
I used to take the bus to Eastland Mall in Detroit with my buds back in the 60's. We hoped to meet girls but ultimately settled on checking out the slot cars.....
And, isn't that sad. First we lost our great downtown shopping districts. I remember my thrill as a child in the 1960s when my Mom decided to take us downtown to the big Hudson's department store to shop.
Well, by the time I was 13 or 14 there was not longer any talk of going downtown to shop. After the riots of 1967 Detroit was too dangerous for a mom with three young kids in tow to travel to.

In 1998, after being vacant and vandalized for 16 years the grand old lady was demolished.

But, as a consolation prize we had a nice new mall to shop in. Northland! Here's a little big from Wikipedia about that mall, which had a new Hudsons in it.
Northland Center was a shopping mall on an approximately 159-acre (64 ha) site located at the intersection of Northwestern Highway and Greenfield Road in the City of Southfield, Michigan, an inner-ring suburb of Detroit, Michigan, United States. Construction began in 1952 and the mall opened on March 22, 1954.Northland was a milestone for regional shopping centers in the postwar United States. Designed by Victor Gruen, the mall initially included a four-level Hudson's with a ring of stores surrounding it. In the 1960s it was joined by a modernistic cinema with a Cinerama screen. The mall was enclosed in the 1970s and expanded several times in its history. Managed by Spinoso Real Estate Group, Northland Center featured approximately 100 stores. Macy's, the last anchor, closed on March 22, 2015, exactly 61 years to the date of the mall's opening.[1]
Of course the cancer spread, the same demographic that made Downtown a high-crime no-go zone for nice ladies to go shopping worked it's magic on Northland too.
In February 2015, following the closure of the anchor stores, a local judge announced that the mall would be closing as of March 2015.[11] Around this time, the mall's official website closed.There is nothing unique about all this, it's happened in dozens of cities across America. But here we are and we still aren't really facing up to our problems and addressing them, we're talking in euphemisms.
Failed Northland Mall shortly before closing, 2015On October 7, 2015, the city of Southfield purchased the property for $2.5 million with plans to demolish the property.[12][13]
We are moving from first generation suburbs, to second generation suburbs, to exurbs, all to maintain some semblance of normalcy and community.
I guess the current end state is living in rural communities more than 500 miles from the nearest "urb" and doing all your shopping via Amazon.
Aint' diversity GREAT!
Add this to the dozen or so mall incidents on Dec 26, and there is a pattern no honest thinking person can ignore.
That’s the answer to “What’s causing this?”
Bfl
“Thats the answer to Whats causing this?
Yep !
In my day ANY ADULT could have approached those kids and asked them to leave———and they would have left.
Now adults are ignored and even when the cops arrive they rarely arrest them.
