Melee near Ford City mall results in 19 arrests

Kids gone wild!!   


" About 4:45 p.m., a large group of disruptive teens ran yelling through the mall, which is located at 7601 S. Cicero Ave., according to a mall official
Officials closed the mall minutes later, but the chaotic scene continued outside, where police found between 100 and 200 people damaging vehicles in the shopping center's parking lot, according to a police report.
Many of those involved ignored orders to disperse, and police arrested 19 people between the ages of 13 and 18, according to police."

This type of pandemonium occurs frequently on the West Side, yet it rarely gets reported.  I've  witnessed a few right in front of  my home.   I suppose it's only news worthy when it  happens in "other neighborhoods".  This is what happens when problems in certain areas get swept under the rug, they start to resurface in other areas.  I predict you will see more of this.

How does the saying go?  "Chickens coming home to roost"
