“A large group of what appears to be teenagers”

Okay, I know what group we’re talking about.

[nonliberal]

“Teenagers.”

If you read the story, it sounds like the pigs were in the wrong again.

We had a similar incident but it was a Howard Johnson's Jr. fast food joint. Happened after a Frida Night High School football game. It was so crowed that no one could move to get out of the place. Someone got upset and threw their drink. It was pure pandemonium after that. Perhaps even a few fights. Been so many years ago now, I'm not sure what all went on but people seem to find the exits after the drink went flying.

I believe the place declared their place off limits after that, on nights where football was being played at home.

Children?

That is utterly retarded of you. The store manager wanted them cleared out. The cop gave them over twenty warnings. They responded with abuse, squaring off, vile language, inciting the crowd to resist, and then simply walking right back in and trespassing again.

The cops were more than patient with those menaces.

[DesertRhino]

Unless of course, by pigs, you meant the “teens”.

“the pigs”

What?
Are we back 1968 at Berkeley?

[Noumenon]

“Children” Try “savages.”

[LegendHasIt]

Those are “Children”, like Hamas Soldiers are peaceful Palestinian civilians.

[DesertRhino]

“Children”,... indeed./s

Why is it the “children” have their identities concealed, but the police, who could face reprisals, do not have their identities concealed?

yute

Jamaican slang for youth,young person or child.

*********************************************

Perhaps the term “yute” would apply.

[Spacetrucker]

Ain’t got a THING to do with Jamaica, it’s a Rush Limbaugh idiom.

[FreedomPoster]

It’s a My Cousin Vinny idiom that Rush re-purposed to great effect.

The article goes between teenagers when hanging around and inline ordering to children when arrested. Why not call them the flash mob they are

[Hatteras]

Typical Fall Saturday night from my high school days. Games were on Saturday and the McDonalds sat between rival schools. Occasional tussles but most of the kids from each school knew each other growing up through local little leagues and other extra-curriculars. And there was always a sherriff’s deputy parked nearby.

[SMARTY]

All the police had to do was lock the doors and collect ID’s. At some point they’d want to leave the building
