Malls, and Children and Destruction

All three go hand in hand? I did not realize that when a large group of teens enter a mall, the first thing on their mind is to not buy anything, destroy and piss people off, and steal. Sure, people shoplift, others purposely destroy things, and some just go out to anger others...but where does it stop becomeing personal, and where did it get generalized to "all" teens?
Are they really scared of younger people living in the same community? Are the police really afraid that all the children are drinking, stealing, and doing drugs, that they must move in groups and break up others from having fun, just becaue of fear...in a mall?
This is a ludicrous essay, generalizing and stereotying. The allusions to capitalist society, also entailing consumerism specifically, as a church, a being people can relate to, I believe, was the only good part of the essay. Boring and melodramatic from the start, this dry, over compensating essay, spilling over with data from other sources, is a complete turnoff for those who enjoy a good read, and general truth and knowledge, though those can be two different entities.
