Aka the people who have stood by while the county has gotten worse and worse all because they’re afraid of solving problems that might result in a few hurt feelings

Curbing shoplifting will happen when the next 20 kids who do it get arrested and aren’t given PBJ.

You do know that there are places in that very Mall with liquor licenses, right?

So strip clubs can’t ban minors from attending?

If the crime goes down and people feel safer, who cares?

Especially since the Mall is struggling post-COVID and lost many upscale stores. It’s teetering on an edge and having a reputation for tolerating antisocial behavior is just going to push affluent shoppers elsewhere.

Yeah I’m sympathetic to those who, at first blush, want to say “kids being kids”, but back in the day it was high school kids and it didn’t involve intimidating and harassing adults and kids alike. There’s 12 yos mobbing stores and getting in fights. I have a 12 yo, there’s nothing normal about that behavior for 5th and 6th graders.
