What a laugh. The Roman Empire ruled by taking events and blowing them out of proportion. Ruling thorough fear and threats of danger.
Running through the malls like a bunch of hooligans is cause for alarm and shouldn't be tolerated. If they can't have some semblance of intelligence, they need to stay away from public places.

Haven't read anywhere yet where this was attributed to blm or even something like a flash mob or anything organized.

One article interviewing teens from the incident said they were just there to hang out after the rec center closed.

I'd question the alleged number, as that's really high. I doubt it was anywhere near the 2,000 being alleged.

And as was pointed out, no vandalism or damages to stores, so it doesn't follow the pattern of these flash mobs or blm protests.

It doesn't matter whether anything was broken or not. It is bad for business to have a bunch of uneducated, uncivilized young people "running" through the mall. I'm not going to frequent a mall where hundreds of young people are running past me. They shouldn't be allowed to have this kind of control over the management.

I read it was between 1,000 and 2,000 kids. So, the consensus is that there were a WHOLE lot of young kids running through the mall. 1 or 200 is quite enough to cause a disturbance.

Re: 1000 "teens" ransack mall in Kentucky

A mob of young people walked out of a pizza place one night a few years ago in Memphis and just decided to attack an innocent man in front of a grocery store.

On this we agree.

Kids will be kids, I bet it was even calmer then what the infallible media has led us to believe.
