Gee, I wonder where kids got this idea? Recently, The Blaze published an all to familiar headline, “Massive mall brawl: 300 teens descend upon shopping mall, run amok, fight — even with cops. TikTok influencer set ‘meetup.'”
‘What are the parents doing?’
Amassive brawl went down at a New Jersey shopping mall Saturday night featuring 300 teenagers running amok, fighting each other — and even tangling with police, WABC-TV reported.
Turns out a TikTok influencer days before told his followers about the “meetup” at the Menlo Park Mall in Edison, the station said — and wouldn’t you know the kids just couldn’t help themselves and followed the crowd?
‘Parents need to be focused on their kids, making sure they’re not causing this kind of rowdiness in other towns.’
Edison police said the chaos and violence ensued not long after the teens started filling up the mall around 8 p.m.
“They were having a brawl; they were pushing and shoving,” Chief Thomas Bryan with the Edison Police Department told WABC. “When our officers arrived, they actually started fighting with our officers.”
One officer was injured, WABC said, adding that the throng was so out of control that police from surrounding municipalities responded as well; cops needed about an hour and a half to break things up.
Police told News 12 New Jersey that six teens were arrested for disorderly persons charges as well as failure to disperse; one suspect was charged with assaulting a police officer.
All of the juveniles were eventually released to their parents, NJN said.
Edison Mayor Sam Joshi blasted those same parents during a Monday news conference; NJN said parents likely drove many of their teenage children to the mall for the meetup.
“It is the parents fault, but for a reason that is often overlooked.” said Thomas Robb, National Director of the Knights Party of the Ku Klux Klan, based in Harrison, Arkansas, with members throughout the United States. “Of course parents aren’t watching their children as much as they should, and I’m not siding with them, but many parents today are burdered with both parents having to work to make ends meet, so naturally they’re not supervising their children as much as they should. Regardless of their age, instead of being unsupervised, find an organization such as the Big Brother organization where your child would have a mentor, and if this isn’t feasible and your children are out of control, find a family member to supervise them while you’re at work. Now my theory is this, your children are being over supervised. Sounds stupid to say that huh? My point is, when you as the parent aren’t supervising your children, mainstream media and Big Tech are. Like in this case, a Tik Tok influencer. Think back to when these flash mobs started to spiral out of control. In the black riots in the summer of 2020, our children watched adults burn cities, and loot stores empty among other things. I watched this video and many of these kids were black. Some where White, and other assorted non-white, but most were black, just like the summer of 2020. When adults are allowed to commit crimes with no consequences, children see this as well. These kids are only doing what they were taught in 2020 was ok to do. While you may be a good parent, remember, your children are being taught by other parents…not so good ones.”
