Maybe if they engaged someone from the SPLC, they could brainstorm a creative deterrent

How do you fix it? Ban blacks? Sure, that would work, but it isn't feasible.
The only thing that might curtail it without throwing up a “whites only” sign, is charging a cover to be on premises.

This segment of society loves to congregate and cause trouble anywhere it’s free entry, and popular. Look at festivals, malls, movie theatres, parks. Every neutral ground that’s free to the public has gone to shite over the years. And it’s one common theme.

It would suck for the common man, but any other course of action would likely be labeled racist. And im sure this would also probably be labeled racist, even though it’s more to do with socioeconomic class.

The only thing that seems to work is either for it to be super dull and uninteresting aesthetically (it can be nice, it just has to be very subtle in appearance). Or to do the industrial chic thing, which buys you some time.

You really can't escape it unless you move to Maine.

Its just the way things are in Baton Rouge nowadays. No public place is immune from ghetto violence flaring up from time to time. Its just that some places have it happen more often and others (like the Mall of LA or Perkins Rowe) have it every once in while.

How do you stop this besides charging entry?

Reduce single parent households

How do you do that? The fed needs to stop substituting for the father in households.

It is change that has to come from within the community.

seems like one of the main reasons to be a successful person in the USA is to be able to afford to stay away from the violent demographic.

I am lazy I wish I could just barely get by and live cheap but that would mean living somewhere dangerous and everything I have would get stolen

Best you can do is just move away from it.

The only way for these places to survive, for a while, is to build waaay out of town. Definitely can’t have public transportation nearby either.

The only way you fix it is just absolutely heavy-handed policing. Profiling, stop and frisk, basically make it a total hassle to simply just loiter. That may be sad, but it's the reality

One thing you definitely don't do as a law abiding citizen is "accept blame" as if this behavior is prevalent throughout society- because it just isn't.

This type of behavior should be UNIVERSALLY CONDEMNED- and it just isn't. The truth is there are ignorant people who justify it- and we've all seen that.

And that, people, is a Goddamn shame.

Kick people out for loitering, dress codes, stopping kids and asking for ID and making unaccompanied minors leave.


They already do the unaccompanied minors thing. It’s not like this is a problem that is new for Mall management or that they haven’t tried to address.
