Malls are full of people not from the city they are at the mall in. All malls have the fake thugs and thugs looking for trouble. I guess sunvalley in concord is horrible too.

There have been several armed robberies at stonestown and serramonte parking lot also.

^true but different places have the thug element to different extents...and robberies and such happen everywhere...I've lived in SF all my life and personally can't remember a single violent incident that's happened at Stonestown (that's not to say they don't happen, just that they don't happen with the same frequency as a place like Hilltop).

edit: wait, I actually do remember a bank branch at Stonestown getting robbed when I was a kid.

I can't recall any of note at Stonestown aside from a Chinese/Filipino rumble of like 50 vs. 100 (or something like that) way back in the early 90's. Other than that, there was an older Asian man that was beaten to death in the Macys bathroom 8 years ago or so.

Serramonte and Tanforan used to have tons of fights and robberies back in the gang-dominant era of the early-to-mid 90's. Even Hillsdale and Fashion Island (anyone remember that spot?!) used to see their fare share of drama. But shootings and murders are pretty rare at any of these places. The only malls I can think of that have had those happen on more than one occassion that I'm aware of are Southland and Eastmont. And I guess Hilltop. But typically this kind of drama is not particularly common to any Bay Area mall that I know of.

Lol I wouldn't doubt it. My friends used to tell me that every Tongan on the Peninsula was related. Obviously now I know they were exaggerating, but the probability that you'd be related to a good amount of them is pretty high. I'd expect you to be connected to at least some of the people involved in those incidents lol.

There are really big clans. Here in the bay area I have more relatives than I'd like. I wish some would move away already.LOL

Give yourself more credit than that, us whites do all the same crap, we just don't have the cops on us all the time.

I don't know (or care) what the stats show. I am white and I lived for a few years in San Diego California, in Tacoma Washington and in Oakland California. I felt safer in Oakland California than the other two. I have zero respect for all gang bangers, They ALL deserve to be locked up forever.
Gangs are lame, the morons who join gangs are scummy scuzbags and those cities are full of these types of boneheaded losers. I now live in Montana and I haven't seen a gang banger for quite a while and that's fine with me. Gang bangers are freaking morons who lead pathetic little lives and I would be happy if they all died of the swine flu today.
