Yup. As if groups of teenagers hanging out in mall parking lots is some kind of "new" thing. With cops that have the apparent judgement of turnips it's really lucky break that they didn't shoot anybody.

At least they didn't call in the SWAT team. Kudos to restraint, there. :-)

What strikes me about this is that the numbers involved aren't even very large. I live in a small town,and the Sonic here has space for roughly 30 vehicles. Assume it was half full,and assume 2 occupants per vehicle,and there's 30 arrests,right there.

The WalMart here is usually pretty full on Friday and Saturday nights-not jammed,but nowhere near empty. I don't have any trouble imagining over 200 people in a K-Mart parking lot,on a weekend,afterhours,in a major city. Heck,the beer joint I patronize on occasion has that many people in it sometimes,lol.

Where the numbers get really big is when referring to the reality dose that's about to land on the HPD. Assume 100 lawsuits,equals 100 vicious,attack-dog trial lawyers,looking at a really juicy target that doesn't have a leg to stand on,and this could be a lot of fun to watch...
