I guess his point is that he was a victim of credit card fraud. Which is not really relevant because even if someone's card is rejected because of fraud, they still have no rights to get violently angry at the mall when the card is declined. And I know plenty of people who carry cash on them in case there is a problem with their card. If this girl had even $8 cash on her, the card being declined would likely not be a problem.

I'm assuming they only got the employees' side of the incident and I'm betting it involved more than a declined card, despite what we're being told.

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.

I used to work for the company that owned that mall. It's a scary place. Or it was 15 years ago. I assume it hasn't improved much since then.

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.
My guess is they got the stuff for free after throwing their tantrum.

Really? It can be any color of person. Outbursts in public aren't limited to a particular race.

anyway, I have seen someone with declined cards require the cashier to call the credit card company and try to straighten it out, while holding up a long line of people, so they she buy the stuff they wanted. It didn't work, even after all that. She didn't get violent but she made a big scene.

Don't make excuses.

"People"? You must have a very loose definition of what constitutes people.

It's sad that the US government and so-called "charities" are actively resettling more members of the 3rd world into our communities.

These creatures only destroy and debase. They do not create or produce or add any value to our society whatsoever.

Contrary to what's being taught in the universities these days, cultures are NOT created equally and intelligence IS a heritable genetic trait.

How is that an excuse? It was a statement of simple truth. People of all races make outbursts in public.

Sort of knew what that would look like before I watched it. Privileged people as usual.

You're right, but blacks are more notorious than anyone else. Find me a video of Asian teens causing a scene like this.

True. But the rate at which it happens varies from race to race. Just like violent crime rates.
