The hits just keep on coming at Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda. Another assault was reported at the mall property on Sunday night, April 14, 2024 at 8:14 PM. This is the second assault reported at the retail center this month, and the sixth of 2024. There were only five assaults reported at the mall in all of 2023.
An organized and methodical attempt to shutter the mall for good.
ReplyDeleteThese are just calls for service alleging 2nd degree (misdemeanor) assault, yes? As a former bouncer: wide variation over the last few years is probably just a difference in specific security guards and their approach. Some are fine handling a situation themselves, some prefer getting a cop to toss kids out of the mall for them, instead.
ReplyDeleteInteresting perspective
DeleteA sword that cuts both ways. Although it appears there's an effort to not aggregate crime stats and we hear little bits and pieces, here and there, when Mall Security calls in the ostensible 'recorders of crime,' the stats then reflect an unsafe condition which has to then hurt the mall and it's own Security 'force.' Eventually no one will go there.
