“Group of Youths” Ransack Milwaukee Mayfair Mall (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Monday, January 3, 2011, 10:30 AM
A group of youths ransacked the Mayfair Mall in Milwaukee last night.
The mob ran through the Boston Store and destroyed mannequins, displays and windows.
One store employee shot video of the incident.
From the video: This is around 5:45pm after screaming and running had occurred. Not much can be seen here, other than large sums of teenagers congregating to the escalators by the Boston Store (where the vandalizing had happened) and it was still pretty noisy as the majority of them were all downstairs and being herded out by Mall Security and Milwaukee Police Officers. Here I was at the Barnes and Noble where it was closed off to the rest of the mall due to the premature closing.
WISN reported:
Few official details are being released about an incident that occurred at Mayfair Mall on Sunday around 5:30 p.m.
Wauwatosa Mayor Jill Didier told 12 News there was “definitely a disruption” that forced the mall to close early.
A customer inside Boston Store during the disruption described what she witnessed to 12 News.
“A crowd of like 50 to 60 kids just came barreling through the upstairs door at Boston Store, knocking down everything they could touch. They went running down the stairs. All that we heard was glass breaking. There was security yelling to every manager to lockdown the doors, lockdown the mall, lockdown the store,” the customer said.
That customer sent a few photos to 12 News that show mannequins and items knocked down inside Boston Store.
This photo was taken after the incident.

Police released few details on the incident.

In the US, “groups of (disaffected) youths” is generally code for young members of our most favored identity group. In Post-Christian/Neo-Pagan/Pre-Islamic Europe, it’s code for young Muslims. What’s the deal here?

The parents of black kids in Milwaukee don’t care about them and don’t parent them. They live like kids from Lord of the Flies. Groups of them were stilling running around at ten pm on a Sunday night, when they are suppose to go to school the next day. Their parents don’t care, at least some animals teach their children right from wrong. These parents are worse. Drugs, television, alcohol, and the next welfare check is all the majority of black Milwaukee parents care about.

Lets see how carefully the media tip-toes around some of the facts to this story.

I was just going to say where were the kids parents when this went down but they were most likely selling crack or getting jacked up on weed to be bothered with their off spring besides they were sticking it to the white man so all is well.
The parents should have to pay for the damage and do time in jail for failure to keep their little thugs at home.. In some states if the child does enough damage the parent and the child go to jail. that should be everywhere then maybe these kids would learn some respect.
make them clean up the mess and pay the store back for their losses.

They’re just misunderstood. If Milwaukee would only offer midnight basketball and free condoms, and if grownups would just let them run the world, everything would be better.
Greater Good? commented:

black militants-
those of middle – eastern (ASIAN) decent–
OH-am I profiling-

I’m not even going to watch this video, but I’m going to go out on a limb regarding who these “utes” are.

Three guesses what race they were.

Please don’t use language like “youths”. They are Age-Challenged.

Amish ?
I think Quakers are to blame.
Mennonites been agitating lately, as well.
Mike commented:
In a related story, the outgoing slob who called himself a Republican Governor in California commuted the sentence of a murderer who just happened to be the son of Fabian Nunez, former Speaker of the House and lobbyist.
If there is a God, and if there is justice, this Austrian POS, the murderer and all who helped them in this despicable act will be visited harshly by an appropriate and commensurate punishment befitting their evil.

Thank you, Big Government Nanny State, and all your wonderful “programs” to help our “yuuts” (which is just code words, as others have noted, for black and hispanic kids, with a few trailer trash whites thrown in). Welfare and public schooling at its best.
Robert commented:
They are entitled because there was slavery a long time ago.

Look at all racists speaking the truth. Don’t you know it’s not PC to tell hard truths these days.

I’m sure that the police acted “stupidly”.
L.E. Liesner commented:
Since when is vandalism not a crime? Will the vandals be pursued, I think not. Anarchy is just around the corner if law enforcement will not do it’s sworn duty, which seems to be the trend in this country today, especially where racism comes into play.
Wheezer commented:
My family and I were are a mall awhile back and got caught in a gang fight inside the mall. Hundreds of kids running through the mall (some with baby carriages) to the fight. It was planned by the gangs and the kids came in on city buses. We’re talking crips, bloods, latino kings, and more. Alot of this has to do with irresponsible parents who don’t have a clue on how to raise their kids. Our local pd, sheriffs dept, swat teams, and state police showed up. We were stuck in the mall as they closed it up. Made for a interesting night….
Melissa commented:
Mayfair Mall is the primary mall that I patronize, it has rules prohibiting unaccompanied minors being in the mall except at certain times (primarily in the morning I believe) and places (the anchor stores like Boston Store make their own rules and minors can be in the theater alone, but they must be picked up and dropped off by an adult, I think). All of that makes me wonder who planned this and how old all of the youths were. I have seen Mall Security card young looking people (of various ages and apparent socio-economic levels) pretty strictly.
Mannie commented:
I don’t care what race they are. Shoot a couple of them, and the rest will learn.
