That’s IT. My daughters are not going to this shit-h@le mall until they pay for the security they need. This is a public nuisance.

6:41, tho your concern is understandable, these assaults really could be anything including benign like 'microaggressions' or even misunderstandings. It's not clear if there's actually contact, which of course is a bigger deal. Imho, there are myriad reasons to not go to MM, but these incidents aren't yet one of them.

It seems that the long term plan is to convert it into affordable housing.

Banning gas powered lawn tools is a higher priority apparently. Do we even have a police chief? Could have fooled me if so. I'd have a press conference with every MoCo leader and mall execs letting the public know if their plan to correct this and make Mont Mall a nice and safe place to ship and entertain. But, no. Gas powered yard equipment and harboring illegals. Forgot that one.
