It won’t be online shopping that finishes off shopping malls. It will be diversity — in the form of teens:
Several teens were arrested after a brawl broke out at the Menlo Park Mall in Edison, New Jersey on Saturday night.
The chaos erupted after hundreds of teens showed up for a gathering planned through TikTok.
One officer was injured in the mayhem.
Police from other towns had to come in to assist. It took an hour and a half to restore order. In all that time, only seven hooligans were arrested, not that even they will face any consequences.
Have a look at what it means to go shopping at the mall nowadays. Posted Sunday:

Edison was renamed in 1954 to honor Thomas Edison, the inventor who epitomized American civilization at its best, improving the standard of living for the entire human race. The symbolism is heart-breaking.
