Castleton Mall Shooting

[maxwelhse]

This is why i avoid malls. A bunch of overpriced crap in a crowded building full of young hoodlums with no supervision. Sounds like this side of hell to me.

The last time I stepped foot in a mall was Christmas 2017 to the Fort Wayne Sears for them to refuse to honor the warranty for my tools. I was pretty delighted to hear about the building being demolished a few months later. Good riddance. Mercifully, Sears eliminated the last remaining reason for me to ever step foot into any mall for the rest of my life. I have no idea why anyone goes to those places anymore...

Nothing about the suspect or victim, media hiding the fact it was Norwegians again?

We are NOT supposed to talk about Norwegian on Norwegian crime....but the dead guy wasn't named Sven, Gunter, or Olaf....

 

[PistolBob]

FIFY. That whole area is a cluster****. I avoid it at all costs, and not because of any crime. Generally speaking I try not to go north of 56th St.

I stay south of 10th street....anything north of 10th is Kokomo as far as I care.

That’s the way I feel about 5th Street in Bedford. Except it’s all Michigan to me.

What's wrong with Kokotucky?

I go anywhere I want.

I go anywhere I want.

Me too. There is nothing to make me want to go to Castleton, or that entire northeast quadrant really. And it's nothing personal against the folks that live up that way. Just hate the traffic and traffic patterns. I always thought that the area right around the mall seemed as though some giant just threw a bunch of buildings up into the air, letting them fall at random, and then built roads around them.

When do the protests/riots start?

I've been wondering the same thing. After all, black lives matter and such ****.....just not as much as the communist agenda.

Just saw something in WTHR's coverage of the Castleton shooting about some organization called "No Black On Black Shootings" or something like that, but I can't find anything about it on their website or on the web in general. They showed a sign with the red circle and slash over B.O.B.S.. That seemed like a positive thing... so naturally the news isn't going to make it easy to find information about it.

Me too. But there's a lot of places I don't want to go!

The last time I went to a mall, it was at Keystone mall with my wife and daughter. I carried. I went around the metal detector.

Hey I resemble this remark.

Ugh 10th and Rural

 

[Sigblitz]

I hope Simon doesn't trespass me. Where will I spend my money?

Same Sears store denied me a warranty on a Craftsman tool. Never entered or bought anything there again and have not bought Craftsman tools for years.

 

[Leadeye]

It's been a long time since I've seen the inside of a mall.

Yep bought into the NESCO/John Bonner rehab stuff.. still waiting to see it make it across rural. They've done some amazing rehabs on the IPS teachers village

It's ghetto but we have a vegan diner now. It's cool if your into eating my foods food.

My story with that interaction is actually much more frustrating and convoluted than them simply refusing to honor the warranty. The ordeal took 2 hours and I decided right then that I would only buy Craftsman from places other than Sears and I'd consider them disposable. Case in point, I had been needing some giant wrenches for years and Craftsman via eBay was actually cheaper than Harbor Freight and other China tools on Amazon. Since I needed them, but not all that often, I figured they'd survive the rest of my life without needing any support.

Since then, I've been buying stuff of higher quality when I feel it's warranted. Like used Snap On, Knipex, or new SK (all SK is 100% made in USA, btw). I'm lucky to be an older fart, but pretty much a baby in INGO years, so I don't need all that many additional hand tools most of the time. I feel bad for the guys coming up now that are broke and have to buy China tools or do without. What a bunch of bull...

Anyhow... I lost the only reason I ever had to step foot in a mall and for that I'm delighted. I also don't mourn the death of that Sears because they died to me when they started making everything in China to begin with.

VS mannequins ....

VS mannequins ....

Glenbrook, the mall some of us are talking about, is literally surrounded by strip clubs. May as well go get the real deal if that's what you're after.

I haven't been in one of those places in longer than the mall. Both are selling overpriced and undervalued wares.
