Active Shooter - Braintree Mall, 22-Jan-2022

This thread is unexpectedly awesome!

When was the time before that??? 19xx??? Because SSP has been a Mecca (no pun intended) for rich foreigners who come over for jobs here in tech. Maybe at least the last 10 years. It's like going to the Medford BJ's, but more upscale. Or any Market Basket. LOL

At least in my experience, the majority of the non-english-speakers (or bilungaulists), were also NOT speaking Spanish.


Apple Dumpling???




I once pulled my thick-of-the-mall. Damn. I walked with a limp for a week.


I recall 20 or so years ago when there was that HUGE gang fight at Silver City. That ruined that mall. Not that it wouldn't have closed and been razed anyhow in 2021, but it changed the place. Because security was unwilling to remove the gang element. I know that PPM is/was a huge gang hangout as well. Sad to see SSP in the same circumstances.

They need to GTFO a pile of people and then you'll see an improvement. Post a guy at each entrance. Yeah, it's a big mall and it'll cost $$. Like a real guy, not some $17/hr rental with pimples. 45-55yo guy who was seen some shit.

But as soon as regular people realize that they are "screening" the bad elements, they'll spend more time there. Not sure if it'll save the mall ultimately, but it's a smart move versus the Silver City method which was "well, how bad can a gang riot in the food court really be?"

My oldest daughter while in College was working at the Nextel booth. Guy that was stabbed fell into the booth right at her feet. Brought her in as a witness.

My BIL used to manage a number of Simon's shopping malls over the years. Their staff are typically dressed in jacket and tie, unarmed, only carrying a radio. SSP had rent-a-cops, unarmed, in a uniform with a campaign hat. That sort of security isn't going to stop any badasses from entering the mall.

Just reported a few minutes ago the victim has died.

<sarcasm> If only the police didn't take his "Glock .40 Model 22 Gen 4" with "twenty-one rounds of ammunition in a high-capacity magazine" he might have had a chance to defend himself. </sarcasm>

Most likely he would have s missed and hit an innocent person.

Seriously? Are the bangers into all-you-can-eat breadsticks ?

Sorry. I always forget Patriot. I don't consider those outside-mall thingies malls in the traditional sense. Hell, I still feel nostalgic for the years when Westgate was a single-run, had both Bradlees and Woolworth (with non-electronic cash registers) and flagstone flooring. FREAKING FLAGSTONE FLOORING! Could you imagine someone trying that today??? You'd get sued by the architect before you could get sued by a guest. LOL

What I meant was PROVIDENCE PLACE Mall. LOL. I can understand the confusion. Providence - home of the escalators from hell and gang crime.

Poor Mr. Beasley apparently didn't get the AG's memo about high capacity feeding devices. Naughty boy! Caught with his pants down (well they were already half way down when he was apprehended). However, I rather doubt Mr. Beasley's demise will be regretted by many, nor has society lost a member of any value.

Cruelly named after a French mustard condiment by his mother, he never really had a chance in Boston's gang wars.

What will society ever do without Mr. Dijoun "Mustard" Beasley?

[LTCRN]

Seeing how he was unarmed, he must of been in the middle of turning his life around! He really isn't a bad kid, just ax his Momma!

I cant imagine walking into a shopping mall without a 2 gun minimum....

My wife: let's go to the mall
Me: I'll just stub my toe walk a mile and light 200 dollars on fire the end result will be the same

Yeah, apparently the high capacity mags being illegal wasn't illegal enough. MA needs to make them REALLY REALLY illegal. While they're at it, they should consider making murder SUPER DUPER illegal. That will then totally discourage these fine law-abiding citizens from breaking the law. If there is a silver lining to all this, the shooter shot someone who was obviously a total piece of shit, not that I condone vigilantism.

They already arrested the driver. I'll just say, "May the Schwartz be with you!"

The officials also said that Hammond-Desir may have changed his appearance since the shooting.

I was at a mall in Worcester last summer, passing/killing time before an afternoon business meeting. The music being BLARED throughout the mall was some Gangsta Rap sh*t and WITH the explicit lyrics
("smack dat bitch...chillin' wit my Hoes and Bro's.." etc etc etc).
People just walked about, aimlessly, 'uncaring-ly', like it's just 'normal' and/or the 'way things are these days'.
