Only if you want a drink poured over your head and your smart phone stolen! Not good for business.
Kids these days! Time to blame the police again?
6:41 p.m. Saturday 11-10-18 — An officer working at West Towne Mall asked for additional officers for a fight in the food court. One complainant advised that 20 people were fighting. A 28-year-old WM and a 32-year-old WF were on a Metro bus when they were harassed by a group of juveniles. One of the juveniles poured a slush beverage on the female victim’s head.
The bus stopped at West Towne Mall and the driver ejected everyone from the bus. The male victim realized that the cell phone he had just purchased was missing. Both victims pursued the juveniles into West Towne Mall. The group turned on the victims and surrounded them. Punches ensued and seven juveniles were detained, AAMs and AAFs ranging in ages from 12 to 15. The victim’s phone was not located.
Four juveniles were arrested and transported to JRC for disorderly conduct. One juvenile was cited and released. Probable cause exists to arrest one additional juvenile. — from MPD.
Today’s head-scratcher: Public transit and shopping at the malls? Or shop on-line and drive our personal vehicles? We report, you decide.

It’s only a matter of time until one or more of these misfit POS miscreants pull some of their wannabe thug BULL$#!T on the wrong dude/dudette and get ventilated for their unconscionable breach of the behavior polite society has every right to expect.
THEN the parent(s) will emerge, emoting for the cameras:
Look what somebody has did to mah baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaby
I’ll take the more pragmatic approach: Think about all the future victims that won’t suffer and all the future resources that won’t be wasted.

True enough Cornelius.
The challenge is how to deal with kids who probably don’t think they have a meaningful future and therefore nothing to lose. That is what makes them so dangerous.
Likely a dreadful home life, doing nothing in school, like minded peers, gangsta culture, little consequence from their behavior, taught they are victims of evil whitey, etc.

They think that because they are told that by their subculture society that they are suppressed victims of “the man”. But hey; let’s go ahead and pull the police off the streets, pull the police out of the schools and let all those terribly mistreated “victims” do whatever the hell they want. I’m sure the rest of the population will simply bow to their victim status when those self-proclaimed “victims” are beating the hell out of them, breaking into their homes, threatening their families, carjacking their cars, robbing the banks, gang fighting in mall food courts, murdering others for drug money, etc, etc. Guess what all you self-proclaimed “victims”, the public at large will only take being your victims so long and then your world will rapidly crumble.
Gotch is absolutely right, eventually some “victim” performing criminal kinetic manipulation of someone else’s body will get catastrophically ventilated; but then again, perforation happens.

No perceived future = refractory to threat of consequence.
A percentage of these kids do not fear a violent death and some expect it as part of the gangsta lifestyle. It is a common part of their conversation and inner dialogue.
The soft on crime, restorative justice, behavior modification clique overlooks this part of the population who are committing a disproportionate amount of crime and mayhem.

Expect it? Not likely. It’s posturing.
Many of these violent youth “think” they’re invincible, they expect to come out on top in all circumstances and then they put themself in a circumstance where they have to stare down the barrel of something that’s equalizing the situation with extreme prejudice and they shit themself.

I completely agree. The general public never looks at it that way when they have to personally face the crime and mayhem. But we all know that the “soft on crime, restorative justice, behavior modification clique” never think this crime and mayhem it’s going to touch their life – then karma rears it’s ugly head.

Why do these idiots steal smartphones?
Can’t they get as many as they want for free courtesy of the Hopey Changey Phree Phone Program, a subsidiary of the democrat voter incentive driven by Lefty’s more More MORE high quality/quantity free $#!T approach?

Can’t wait until some election official publicly states that it would be a good idea for people to be able to vote from an internet accessible devices, like a smart phone, what could possibly go wrong?

Because they’re idiots. A lot of these stupid kids can’t comprehend than a few hours into the future.
I had my smartphone stolen. The thief decided to to use it as their own personal phone. I had my carrier send me a list of all the activity and handed over to the police. The thief decided to call their friends, family, etc. and it didn’t take too long to track them down and get my phone back.

We are both right Zoltar because hardcore bangers exist alongside youth who still have a somewhat intact conscience and sense of a future.

It’s especially gratifying when a plan comes together in such a way that the “thug” is properly prepped for law enforcement by launching out both ends simultaneously and becomes rather infant like.
