Similar thing happened to me on Christmas morning. A real mob scene.

Did I have a problem? Nope. Walked in, bought what I wanted, and walked out.

However, I've never seen so many people standing around and watching. Waiting. Watching and Waiting for what? I'm not sure, but the tension was palpable.


Yeah, I can smile about it now, but I was in a very similar situation at a mall a year or so ago. They were all hanging around the entrance and kinda watching me go in. Looking back on it - it was similar to the scene in "The Birds" when they were tiptoe-ing around the monkey bar set that was chock-full of blackbirds. Palpable tension.

About a year ago, I was with my family and needed gas. It was about 10pm.

There were a couple (yes, just TWO) guys hanging out outside the gas station I pulled into.
I went to the next station down the block.

Call me what you want, but it’s not worth being PC or whatever you want to call it for me to risk my family.

I don’t watch much TV, especially the national networks, but even so, I can not remember any news giving ANY coverage to the “Flaaash and Staaash Demonstrations” since the Rodney King Riots.

If it weren’t for the Internet one would be forced to conclude that Detroit, Washington DC and Philadelphia, not to mention a good many other cities, are paradises of diversity and tranquility.

“Anytime you have a large group of [ ] people together things happen,”

You're not allowed to notice things like that. Especially, if you're a police chief, being quoted in a newspaper.

But it was interesting to read between the lines on his statement, no?

Well, I *did* watch video of diversity trampling each other - including several small children that were run over - to get at Air Jordans that were going on sale.

It was on Fox, but everyone knows that they don't ever tell the truth. The video was likely faked. /sarc

Ok, lets see; scratch Mall of America off my list of places to visit.

In the past Mall of America was a Gun Free Zone.

Today???

Another good reason to have it on your list of places NOT to visit.

Fearsome shouts of “Cristo Vive!” and “Gloria!” Our hermanos Latinos do love their amplifiers ...

Never been there, myself, although I’ve seen it on television. When I go to the mall here, I usually go into J.C. Penney or Sears through the door from the parking lot, and leave the same way, without ever entering the mall-area itself.

Years ago I entered Sears and exited the same way as you do at Penny's.

The danger with these large malls is walking across their parking lots. I have eliminated that problem, I just don't go there any more.

I’ve never had any problem - combination of living in a place where not much happens and shopping while the youths are at school. I haven’t been to the mall since I needed to get my son’s glasses replaced at Sears (our insurance company’s choice) after he lost a lens on a wilderness survival hike. I would have gone to Penney’s this week, but they didn’t have the skirt I wanted in my size, according to the website.
