I didn't think about those, thank you for the suggestion!

i remember this game i had it as a kid i loved it so much

Have you been to all the cool, vintage shops? There’s a huge one off if 216, one in Ellicott City & a gigantic one in Annapolis. This is not my arena at all but if you google “vintage toys” they should pop up. (You probably already know about these places but I thought I’d mention them, just in case!! Good luck!)

Your bigotry is an opinion, not a fact.

Nope just a new one. Pointing out facts is racist ? I guess that’s the state of the world today.

Did you create this account just to be racist on this thread? Because that’s hilarious and cowardly. Stand behind your bigotry.

YeH it is, you are just too afraid to admit the obvious

I worked at that mall for a decade. That’s not it.

If you have a point, don't be obtuse.

Yes ... didn't really want to go here; but as a society kids are not being taught repercussions of bad behavior and at bit later when they get in real trouble. Its OK to steal, assault and trash peoples property and this behavior tends not to go away for a long time (if ever). And even if juvenile justice does get involved - there is no public visibility - so we really don't know if its working or not.

Maybe they are the ones causing problems and there’s a reason for that.

Yup. That’s the elephant in the room that no one wants to talk about or admit. It’s a certain demographic of people that are causing the issues here. I grew up here, been living here since 1989 and it’s gotten progressively worse with the influx of people of that particular demographic. Many exhibit violent, lawless behavior and many are racists that hate white people. Our extremely left wing government officials have hamstrung the police, they aren’t allowed to enforce the law on these people because they don’t want to appear “racist”. This is a slope heading downwards unfortunately. I really do fear for my young kids growing up here

Aka the people who have stood by while the county has gotten worse and worse all because they’re afraid of solving problems that might result in a few hurt feelings

Curbing shoplifting will happen when the next 20 kids who do it get arrested and aren’t given PBJ.

People with empathy who don’t agree with profiling.

You do know that there are places in that very Mall with liquor licenses, right?

So strip clubs can’t ban minors from attending?

If the crime goes down and people feel safer, who cares?

Ah, there it is. Went to River Hill.

Especially since the Mall is struggling post-COVID and lost many upscale stores. It’s teetering on an edge and having a reputation for tolerating antisocial behavior is just going to push affluent shoppers elsewhere.

They can party at your place.

My father in law (80yo bm) was accosted, asking if he was looking to buy drugs, and then when he told them to leave him be they crowded him and called him all kinds of names.

Do you have kids?

Yeah I’m sympathetic to those who, at first blush, want to say “kids being kids”, but back in the day it was high school kids and it didn’t involve intimidating and harassing adults and kids alike. There’s 12 yos mobbing stores and getting in fights. I have a 12 yo, there’s nothing normal about that behavior for 5th and 6th graders.

You are absolutely 100% correct. There have been many attacks on innocent people. I know of a woman and her young son that were attacked in the Wilde Lake shopping center parking lot last year. Unprovoked attack, there are police reports to prove it, but media doesn’t discuss it. Columbia is becoming very unsafe and I’ve lived here for almost 25 years.
