Reply to comment by Moonagi in After complaints about teen ‘chaos’, Columbia Mall adds police patrols, could require chaperones by seekingpolaris

Agree with fines for parents if the kids assault other people, but disagree on the "loitering." It's a mall people are supposed to loiter. Most kids just want a place to spend time with friends and the mall is a great place for that. It's the kids starting fights and shooting bystanders with toy guns that is the problem.

Being at the mall is a privilege. They’ve abused that privilege so there needs to be a crackdown on unattended teens

You're treating an entire group of people as a single entity. Don't think I need to explain why that's a bad thing.

It doesn’t matter if you think it’s a bad thing because the mall is going to crack down on ALL teenagers, by requiring them to have a chaperone anyways

Oh, don't be mistaken. I disagree with that as well.

Just apply the rules to the individuals breaking them. Not an entire class of people. You know, like how it's normally done?

At what point do we punish a group of people for the actions of a few, because cranky, middle aged men have been ruining this subreddit for months, and I'm ready to have y'all fined for abusing the privileged.
