Two days ago, we reported that heading into Christmas, countless “mall brawls” had broken out across America’s as last minute holiday shoppers were filmed fighting with each other in shopping malls in New Jersey, Alabama, Georgia and other states for those last minute “holiday cheer” purchases. The videos made for for a very Unmerry Christmas.
Now, in the spirit of holiday symmetry, following the one day lull on Christmas Day, the brawls returned on the day after Christmas, with fights, disturbances and false reports of gunfire causing chaotic scenes and shutting down several malls across the United States on Monday, as shoppers scrambled for the best deals in the typically busy post-Christmas shopping day.
The first calls from the The Mills at Jersey Gardens came in just after nightfall Monday. Witnesses said they thought they had heard shots fired. That, along with a fight, led to what Elizabeth police Officer Greg Jones described as a “chaotic panic and everybody running all at once.” Eight to 10 people suffered minor injuries during a melee in the food court at the Jersey Gardens malls the mayor there said on Twitter.
Panic followed when someone shouted “gun,” after a chair hit the ground, causing a loud noise in the mall’s food court, Elizabeth Mayor Chris Bollwage tweeted.

The incident led to a SWAT team with riot shields and body armor raiding the mall, while shoppers either ran or hid in stores. No weapons were found and no-one was arrested.
Photos and video clips posted on social media showed heavily armed police officers responding to the incident as shoppers raced to exits and alarms rang out inside the mall.
Similar disturbances unfolded across the United States on Monday at malls that were packed with shoppers returning gifts, using gift cards they received over the holiday weekend or simply searching for clearance deals. Many involved calls of shots being fired and youths fighting. It was unclear if the incidents were connected.
As Reuters reports, a large fight between teenagers broke out in the food court at the Cross Creek Mall in Fayetteville, North Carolina. Police fielded several unconfirmed reports of shots fired, said a Facebook post by the Fayetteville Police Department, which also said the mall was evacuated.

“Once people start running in that area or chairs are getting knocked over, tables, that sort of thing, that echoes and it could resemble the sound of a gunshot to a lot of people,” he said.
The Hulen Mall in Fort Worth, Texas, was on lockdown, Fort Worth police said on Twitter. The CBS website there reported that police said officers responded to reports of gunshots but arrived to find that several fights had broken out involving 100-150 people. There were no injuries, police said. Fort Worth Police spokeswoman Tamara Velle said officers initially responded to reported gunfire inside the mall. After breaking up the fights, officers stopped by each store to let people leave while the lockdown remained in effect, KTVT reported.
At least one fight shut down the Fox Valley Mall in Aurora, Illinois, late on Monday, and police were called to quell the disturbance, the Chicago Daily Herald reported, citing managers of businesses in the building.
Online videos showed uniformed personnel directing mall patrons out of the building and customers fleeing down an escalator. Police and mall management could not be reached for comment.

The Town Center Aurora in Aurora, Colorado, was also closed early after multiple skirmishes were reported inside the mall, the Aurora Police Department said on Twitter.
Teens were tackled by cops at the Aurora Mall in Colorado. There were several
large fights ‘involving juveniles’, cops said
Aurora PD spokesman Sgt. Chris Amsler said about 100 people had gathered in the food court before the brawls broke out — prompting the Colorado mall to close early on Monday afternoon. “(It) kind of morphed into this large disturbance,” Amsler said.
When off-duty police officers working as security guards tried to break up a fight, people circled the officers, who called for backup, Amsler said. As police officers on duty arrived, fights broke out throughout the mall, at a movie theater and at a nearby park-and-ride lot, he said. He estimated 500 people were involved. Authorities arrested five people, all juveniles, and recovered no weapons, he said. One person assaulted at the park-and-ride lot suffered “significant” injuries and was taken to a hospital, Amsler said.
In Monroeville, Pennsylvania, seven people were arrested after incidents at two malls, CNN affiliate WMCA reported. Police said a group started a disturbance in the Wolfchase Galleria food court and started running, which prompted some customers to call 911, WMCA said. Then a crowd gathered outside Oak Court Mall, about 10 miles west, and started a disturbance, WMCA said. Both malls were cleared and closed early for the night.
Shots were reported in both incidents, but police said they found no evidence of gunfire, WMCA said. No injuries were reported, CNN affiliate WATN said.
Police put the Arizona Mills mall in Tempe, Arizona, on lockdown after reports of shots fired inside the shopping center. Two people, including a juvenile, were arrested after two fights broke out at the mall, an ABC affiliate reported.
In Beechwood, Ohio, a juvenile was arrested for hitting a police officer after police used pepper spray to break up a fight that started about 6:30pm near a food court. Crowds were seen falling over themselves in a stampede towards the exits at the Beechwood Place mall, which went into lockdown as police investigated. Officers initially responded to the scene for a report of shots fired. Police later confirmed that there were no gunshots.

Fire officials say a man and a police officer were exposed to the pepper spray and received medical treatment. No one else was injured. John Boyd, the 19-year-old who was hit with pepper spray, described the sensation to Cleveland.com. ‘My face burned… it went into my skin,’ Boyd said. ‘My whole body burned.’ It wasn’t clear what caused the fight, but police told USA Today that the incident had apparently been ‘loosely organized on social media’.
Finally, a fight at The Shoppes at Buckland Hills mall in Manchester, Connecticut, led to the mall being evacuated around 5:30pm, according to police. Video shows boys throwing swift jabs at one another while other youths crowd around to watch.
‘Up to ten’ teenagers were involved in the fights, according to police. One police officer was assaulted while trying to break up one of the first fights, authorities said, but didn’t seek medical attention.

There were several hundred teens in the mall when the fights broke out, and several were arrested, Manchester police Captain Chris Davis said on Twitter. There were no weapons involved and no sign that the fight was gang related, police said. It’s not known whether the rash of incidents across the country were coordinated in any way, or were just coincidental.
Don’t you just love diversity ? Where nation’s come to die.
In relationships – the one who cares the least, controls the relationship. Same with the behavior of these niggers. They are controlling the situation.
There needs to be a way to constitutionally control and punish this destructive behavior, otherwise it will be our ruin.
Not enough zoos with monkey cages. Fuck – I don’t think the orangutan’s want them.
Eh,really don’t do the mall.This nonsense actually a good warning for folks,idiots do this in times of plenty,imagine what it will be like when economy sputters out/ebt cards crash ect.
When was the last time you heard someone say,”I have too much ammo”,time to fill those stockings with a little more food for tools of defense!
These malls have the “No Firearms” signs!
Dutchman,had to get someone to read me your response,oh,and type response.The signs would not matter to me as I am illiterate,so,was feeling dumb enough to shop at mall would have legal cover on firearm issue as,well,I cannot read.
When was the last time you heard someone say,”I have too much ammo”
There are only two situations in which I would say that – Im drowning, or my house is on fire. Other than that, no such thing.
And something to keep in mind when watching this stupidity – all of this is being done with full bellies and electricity. They are fighting over trinkets they don’t need. What do you think will happen when the grocery store shelves start to clear out, or the EBT card doesn’t work?
This is what you get when gov rewards each subsequent child born
with more cash to the female, unwed mother, and fatherless child.
The “fathers” love this because they make the rounds each month and collect their cut.
“a large fight between teenagers” – Translation: “a large fight between niggers”
Is this what it being talked about when “the browning of America” is discussed by the elitist media types?
Close your eyes, then imagine an America without Negros.
Go ahead. I’ll wait.
Nice, huh?
Didn’t John Lennon say “Close your eyes imagine there’s no Neegrows, it isn’t hard to try…”
Sure do wish my ancestors had picked their own cotton… Slavery is the second biggest mistake the south ever made, and we have been paying for it ever since.
They heard it was Boxing Day, got confused.
Next stop, Brawl of America.
I think malls should be banned….
They’re just too dangerous …
Oh… concerts and any stadium event too… (football, baseball, soccer, basketball etc)…
Any place that concentrates large groups is a ticking time bomb ….
Churches too….
Any other suggestions..??
Jus sayin’…. 🙂
Congress.
The most dangerous gathering of all.
The Marines were taught to spared out and not present a concentrated target. If we didn’t concentrate people as Andrew G suggests look at the financial losses we would incur. Better to sustain some “collateral damage” than deny the Government an enemy they can’t catch so they can have mass punishment to get the guilty along with many innocents. This will also be supported by the main stream media as it gives them something to fill the time between commercials.
Dindu nuffins….
Truth is cops ain’t shooting enuff’ of the feral thugs.
What and who do these incidents have in common?
Fuck the mall, there is nothing there I want.
This country is one big zoo and the malls have become the monkey houses. Enter at your own risk.
Shopping malls suffer from functional obsolescence due to one giant design flaw… limited number of exits. These malls were designed in much the same way as casinos. You get in, wander around, start trying to find the exit you came in through, and as a result you have to pass dozens of more stores and the food court. Bean counters along the line realized the more time spent in the mall and the more stores you pass the higher your average dollar spent per visit.
Well this was fine in the 80s and even 90s when these things were built. People didn’t even really mind wandering around the mall because they weren’t in a psychotic rush to run home to watch a whole season of degenerate filth on Netflix or to charge their phones. Who went to malls back then? Soccer moms and high school students (real teens bearing no resemblance to the media moniker “teens” of today.) Groups of two to four people, not overly obese, looking where they were walking, usually having first world manners or decorum.
Who goes to malls now? Hugh welfare subsidized families of overweight people. Immigrant families of 8-10 people with children running in a radius around the nucleus of madre and poppy, pushing one or two strollers. People are looking at their phones and walking into other people and even fixed objects. There is no de facto traffic pattern as the third worlders walk where they please, as they do in their home country, according to the principle of “me first” and “might makes right.”
In short these malls were designed for a different America. A slender, more practical and accomodating America. Now they are approaching the status of death traps, like the hajis doing their zombie dance around the Kaaba, it’s just an accident waiting to happen.
It’s no wonder big indoor malls haven’t been being designed for about 10 years now. The big real estate companies knew what was coming. Now they design outlet malls (i.e. 20 miles from town, and not on the bus lines) and town centers (i.e. largely outdoors so you do not get pinned against the walls or have to spend 20 minutes looking for an exit.) These appeal the remnant of normal America who just want to shop without the trappings of a Moraccan bazaar. It won’t be long before these structures are declared racist by HuffPo and DailyKos.
Malls have been experiencing Dindu Africanus problems for years. Here in San Antonio the Windsor Park Mall was closed in 2005 due to crime and violence. It was so bad the Sheriff’s department put an annex in the mall in order to control the crime. Obviously it didn’t work.
