Upstate N.Y. mall to restrict teens

This is the mall that I shop at. I tell you this, it has become a haven for punks and groups of kids looking to cause trouble. When you walk in there, you just get a sense of uneasiness. You should not have to feel that way when you are trying to have a good time shopping. We bring our 15 month old there to ride the carousel and other little rides and he has a blast. People just do not feel safe there anymore and it was going to definitely hurt the businesses. I am glad that the town is doing something about it. Unfortunately it has taken two major incidents before rules were passed. We will see how well they are enforced though. I am sure we will see more police within the mall now. That is such a sad thing.

Good for the mall owners. These type of restrictions were put in place at a Milwaukee area mall a while back. It was a major improvement.

I agree. I hope it does make a difference. It just seems to be escalating. Hopefully they nip it in the bud before someone gets killed.

It was the same for Crossgates Mall in Albany about 3 years ago when several incidents involving rowdy teens who got in fights or otherwise caused disturbances either inside the mall or out in the parking lot.

It keeps going and going and... social suppression through fear induction. Think of the larger picture.
