Massive Brawl Involving Over A Hundred Teens Closes Down Two California Malls
Newsweek ^ | Dec, 27, 2019, | K Thor Jensen

Posted on 12/27/2019 3:35:42 PM PST by Morgana

A conflict involving well over 100 teens in Stockton, California, resulted in the closure of two malls as the violence spread wildly out of control.

KCRA reported that the chaos began at around 5:30 p.m. Thursday at the Weberstown Mall. Police say that between 150 and 200 juveniles were involved in a large-scale skirmish at the shopping center. Fifteen police cruisers were dispatched to the scene, and officers worked to evacuate the combatants and lock down several entrances to the mall to prevent them from coming back inside.

Once the brawling teens were escorted to the parking lot, a number of additional fistfights began to erupt as police and security tried to calm the crowd.

The group then crossed Yokuts Avenue to invade the Sherwood Mall. Seeing the crowd coming, Sherwood Mall staff placed their facility on lockdown as well. Police eventually managed to disperse the crowd, but no one was arrested.

One participant was taken to the hospital with unspecified injuries. An additional report of a female employee being assaulted at the mall's AT&T store has not been confirmed.

In video of the event, posted on social media, groups can be seen throwing punches and pulling people apart from clinches, then running when police arrive.

“Well, Dave, then just what do you do for excitement?”

Read and reply on Free Republic.

Reading: Magic the untold story of US intel and the evacuation of Japanese Residents from the West Coast during WWII, The United States of Trump, The Pioneers by David McCullough. The story of the settlers, who brought the American Ideal West.

Work on our Genealogy, will crack/track 30,000 ancestors this month in less than 3 years.

Walking in our area.

Going to church.

Playing Bridge in a men’s group and with my wife and her best friend and her husband.

Texting grand kids, siblings, adult children and a few friends and other relatives. Emailing and talking to friends and cousins in their 80’s like me.

Watching at this time of evening, the pink clouds east of here and later a pink and golden sunset in the west from my easy chair.

TV doesn’t come until about dinner time. No news or bs, a few good US shows and a lot of Brit mystery shows. You helped me to cut the cable 3 years ago. We are saving over $200/month. All of our West Coast family was here for Christmas, no football or bs on tv. Just the pic of a roaring fire with Christmas music. Only the kids in college brought their cell phones in. They mainly took pics with them.

I was blessed with good parents/grand parents, uncles/aunts, siblings and a few really good friends along the way.

My wife is my best friend, a great mother/grand mother, aunt and cousin. We still do a lot of things together and talk a lot each day.

So what do you do for excitement?

Apparently the “teens” do this every year.

Too bad the local cops aren’t allowed to respond in kind.

Pull out the batons and aim for the naps, boys.

I have never seen as many delivery vans as this year - and I’ve never seen so few news stories about crowds at malls.

Nobody is exposing their loved ones to the violent Simbas; some malls are trying curfews, but I believe it is too little, far too late.”

I wanted a Pendleton Shirt and a Sweater for Christmas. So we went to a local store and parked 30’ from the door, and 30 minutes later my wife and bought a sweater and shirt that fit.

We, then went to our down town stores, parked in a parking lot known to locals and walked about 1 block to get a gift card and another block to get my wife a new rainproof/windproof and chill proof jacket. We were back home in about 2 hours with minimal traffic and throngs in stores.

The rest of our gifts were ordered via the internet. Amazon got most due to prices, deliveries and a percent to our church for shopping there.

Today, we had a minimal postal delivery and saw only one UPS delivery truck, and 1 Amazon prime van. We did have a worthless postal delivery.

No arrests because these are the shock troops of the Deep State.

As the saying goes, there are malls where white people shop and there are those where white people used to shop.

Sore-Ass is adapting to the loss of MS-13 and other enforcers due to Donald Trump's DOJ cracking down and the building of the wall.

Donald Trump and Barr are moving FAR too slowly. Unless they have some tricks up their sleeve.

The Ponderosa was supposedly located near Lake Tahoe Nevada (on the eastern side of the lake), which would be about 120 miles, or more, from Stockton. Did they supposedly travel that far to get supplies? I think Carson City would have been much closer. 8>)

I should be getting some fun stuff like Sweden, Poland, Holland, Germany, and China. For that travel, I’m OK with it.

BTW....no arrests will embolden them to do it again with more property damage. WTF do you pay a police force for, if they just watch and eat donuts?
