Man, you should have let all the new businesses that have opened in Monroeville know before they opened. They could have used your economic advice. All doomed to failure now. So sad.

all this deduced from one fight incident? C'mon zman, you can do better than this ...

In UK malls it's an event when there isn't a fight in a week

Apparently there were mall fights in Memphis, Sacramento, Kansas City, Victoria, Texas, and a shooting in Ottawa.

Yeah, that Ottawa. Truly a dangerous place to live. Might as well be living in Mogadishu.

Damn. I grew up in Monroeville and that was my high school hang-out place.

Times change, and not always for the better.

If you watch the video, there are people just walking by ignoring the lowlife people. That I found pretty funny. Sure is a contrast to years past. It was an amazing mall when it had the ice rink. Really special. Now it is sort of a lowlife hangout I guess.

And somebody was shot to death at a mall in New Orleans on Christmas Eve.

They should require that minors be accompanied by a parent, legal guardian or chaperone after 5:00 pm. Groups should not be permitted to loiter. Minors should not be permitted to ride a PAT bus to or from shopping centers after 5:00 pm without being accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

Buses are necessary for many people but they are also methods of transport for lowlife individuals who, not content with the destruction of their own neighborhoods, now want to ruin things in better places.

So screw all of the minors that have to work? Makes sense.

An unaccompanied minor rule in the mall is MORE than adequate. That would be the right of a private company to make.

A rule about PUBLIC transportation is completely different and impossible to enforce.
