Kind of wondering who is truly "triggered," considering these responses.

Well when someone says "typical" and you watch the vid, what would you guess they were talking about? I also took your response as baiting. My apologies if I was wrong.

I guess I missed something as unlike CatTx - I didn't see anything in the video that suggested the cashier had any thoughts either way and it doesn't change the fact the women girls whatever need to be in anger management.

Some of the explanations are:


1. No good parenting, their mothers act the same way.
2. They are from single parent homes, never met or know who their fathers are.
3. The society owes them, they are the "victims" after all.
4 That's the message they see and hear in music and movies they watch.
5. They know there won't be any consequences.
6. If you call the police, BLM and democrats will accuse cops of racial profiling and picking on "good youths".

Why on Earth would I attack you with a long-handled forestry tool?

As my daughter would say, "not for nothing" but it is not just Houston malls that are experiencing this type of erratic behavior and unsafe environments it is almost (and unfortunately) common place "these days".

A friend of mine from Chicago mentioned these two incidents to me recently, unbelievable. When we were kids we would go to the mall for a day to be out and about and never once did we need to worry about this type of violence and crazy behavior. I have no clue what any of this behavior is attributed to, none whatsoever.

The world has gone completely MAD! Is there something in the drinking water, is it the opiod/drug crisis???? I have no clue!

Extra security at North Riverside mall after social media ...

NORTH RIVERSIDE, Ill. — A suburban mall increased security measures after social media threats. People under the age of 17 are not being allowed inside North Riverside Park Mall without parental...

And another incident a couple of weeks or so later, it certainly doesn't inspire me to want to be in any public venues whatsoever.

Me too. I realize there are some people who are treated unfairly because of race or nationality, but it is low life's like these who cause people to paint all of them with the same brush. I feel sorry for all the decent, hard working blacks who will suffer because of what these jerks did.

Hope they arrested them.

It's possible these girls have gotten everything free their whole lives. I wonder if they've ever worked at a job for money. I still think they should learn how to cook and prepare their own food at home, which I mentioned earlier and someone objected to. But they shouldn't be eating out if they have problems with their credit cards. It's not that hard to make a sandwich and take it with you to the mall.
