  1. I sure hope they get this violence under control or I won’t be going to the mall.

    2. Mr/Ms “You won’t be missed” - your callous response demonstrates a profound lack of maturity, awareness, and ability to comprehend the statement that you responded to.

      Even in these days where many things can be purchased online, the quality and services that physical stores provide are complementary.

      Also, stores in malls provide local employment, especially for younger people. Those committing crimes in and around malls are selfishly affecting so many people … those thugs need to grow the frack up, and get a job ———you need to draw upon your limited brain power to think and care for others - be more compassionate toward people who just want to live peacefully, and work and shop without having to worry about cowards who just want to take from others, rather find ways to earn money honestly and not be a drag on society.

  2. The result of soft on crime policies, led by your county executive, who totally disbanded the auto theft unit.

  4. Definitely staying away from this Mall at night time. Won't park indoor garage where it's always too dark. They need to put up numerous BLUE lights to pull a handle for EMERGENCIES.

  6. This trend is incredibly disturbing. It will hurt good stores like Nordstrom. I won't go to this mall anymore and drive to Tyson's.
