Shoppers on High Alert
Ok here is something I am going to talk about alittle more but first read this article from channel 5 then I will talk more about this and my feelings......
More problems near Hickory Hollow Mall have some shoppers wary.
Just last week, the mall started a new rule stating teens could only come to the mall late nights on the weekend if they're with an adult. On Friday night, police had to break up a fight after a carnival on mall property got out of hand. This incident did not happen in the mall, but shoppers are still thinking twice about shopping there.
Some Hickory Hollow shoppers were glad to know the mall is stepping up efforts to make the place safer. Mall managers recently started a new policy banning teens from being in the mall without an adult on Friday and Saturday nights. The move was to cut down on crime and gang activity, but that didn’t stop a brawl late Saturday night. A fight broke out just before 11:00 pm at a carnival in the mall parking lot. Metro police say it started with two young girls, but quickly grew to include several people.
Shoppers said it’s situations like this that have them thinking of shopping somewhere else. Luckily there were no reports of any serious injuries as a result of that fight. No word on what charges the teens could face.
The Hickory Hollow Mall is owned by the same company that owns the Rivergate Mall and Cool Springs Galleria. They have not started similar programs at either of those malls.
Ok this goes out to all parents!! listen up......I hope you are raising your kids to become good kids because some of you are really not being good parents. It is really bad when the majority of us fear going to a mall because of these teens that have no guidance from theier low down good for nothing parents. I remember when the mall used to be fun but since all the gangs and mexicans moved into the area and taken over the mall its just not safe to go now. the holidays are coming up and the mall wont be busy...just tear the mall down and the kids will have no place to go then...Alot of this has to do with the music they listen to...have you as parents heard this music? Its gangster music...where are we going with our country? will the next few yrs hold a president that has so much gold around his neck it blinds you when he is on tv or he will have gangs as a body guard and then drugs will be legal and you can go to walmart and buy a pack of joints for $20.00.....I ask this of parents...please work with your kids and teach them not to be gangster..this is causing alot of problems!!! thank you
