LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - The Mall St. Matthews has been closed for the night after several disturbances. Those incidents may have involved as many as 1,000 to 2,000 teens, according to the St. Matthews Police Department.
There has been no confirmation of shots fired inside the mall, although some were reported, and no injuries or arrests have been reported.
Police first responded to the mall around 7 p.m. Saturday in response to numerous unruly youths. According to the SMPD, there were several fights inside the mall and those altercations may have then spread outside.
"We had no indication that anything like this was going to happen at Mall St. Matthews," said Dennis McDonald of the SMPD. "(We) responded to a disturbance, then we began to respond to numerous disturbances inside, and outside, of the mall."
During the disturbances some store owners attempted to close, but in some cases juvenile patrons refused to leave. In some cases, stores were used as safe havens for those trying to escape the chaos.
Eventually, management decided to close the entire mall early.

That not a single kid was arrested tells everything about the race of the "youths". We have devolved through fear into separate standards for racial groups. The fabric is fraying faster and the browning of America is accelerating. Drove back from LA sunday (never drive I-5 after a Christmas weekend, a 7 hour trip took almost 11And the image of isles of cars stopped both ways on a freeway in the middle of nowhere was stunning) and stopped at In-n-Out around 2pm. Packed wall to wall with Asian and Hispanic families. We were literally the only Caucasians in the place and most of what was spoken wasn't English. This isn't assimilation now, it's cultural suicide.
[HOSTED.AP.ORG] Should those irreconcilable differences suddenly become reconcilable, don't go looking to get un-divorced in New Hampshire.
The state's Supreme Court this month upheld a lower court ruling refusing to vacate a New Castle couple's 2014 divorce after 24 years of marriage.
Terrie Harmon and her ex-husband, Thomas McCarron, argued on appeal that their divorce decree was erroneous because they mended fences and are a couple once more. But the justices, in a unanimous ruling issued Dec. 2, said the law specifically allows them to grant divorces - not undo them.
Courts in some states - including Illinois, Nebraska, Mississippi, Arkansas, Maryland and Kentucky - will vacate divorces within a certain time frame or under certain circumstances, at the parties' request. Others - including New York and South Dakota - maintain they, like New Hampshire, have no statutory authority to undo a divorce.
Attorney Joshua Gordon, appointed to defend the lower court's ruling, said allowing the couple's divorce to be undone could jeopardize the finality of all divorces.
"Divorce is a uniquely fraught area of litigation," Gordon argued. "For divorced couples, it is often important to have the solace of knowing that their former spouse is indeed former."
Harmon and McCarron did not return calls seeking the answer to the question: Why not just remarry?
They were married in 1989 and filed for divorce in January 2014; the divorce decree was finalized in July that same year. In March, they filed a joint motion to vacate the decree.
New Hampshire law does allow for divorces to be set aside for reasons of fraud, accident, mistake or misfortune. Gordon said that none of those circumstances happened in the Harmon-McCarron divorce and that any adverse financial consequences the couple claimed were "self-imposed."
He said it's his understanding they had several reasons for trying to vacate the decree.
"I think it was partly sentimental, and partly that they had some business interests that a divorce and remarry would be more complicated than undoing the divorce," Gordon said.
Harmon, a lawyer, argued in court papers that a couple shouldn't have to show the decree was legally flawed if they reconcile. She said that test is "designed to balance the interests of adverse parties," not those who want to get back together.
Attorney Kysa Crusco, head of the family law section of the New Hampshire Bar Association, said Harmon's argument was "creative" but the law and prior New Hampshire rulings are clear.
"People just have to be cautious in making sure divorce is what they really want," she said.

My best guess - a divorce would force a division / sale of assets, probably the alluded to business, for which capital gains taxes would be incurred, and they can't afford to pay the tax involved.

Bingo, raj! Somebody didn't read the fine print.
And the lesson here is "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes"
[DAWN] China officially ended its one child policy on Sunday with the signing into law of a bill allowing all married couples to have a second child as it attempts to cope with an ageing population and shrinking workforce. Hmmm... Halving your population shrinks your workforce and raises the average age of the population? Who'da thunkit?
The change, which was announced in October by the ruling Communist Party, takes effect from January 1, the Xinhua news agency reported. It also cuts the number of potential enlistees in the world's largest army by half...
All married couples will be allowed to have a second child but the legislation maintains limits on additional births. I think 2.5 or something like that is necessary for population stability, but I guess it is hard to have half a child...
The "one child policy", instituted in the late 1970s, restricted most couples to only a single offspring and for years authorities argued that it was a key contributor to China's economic boom and had prevented 400 million births. If the population's halved, I guess there's more money to go around...
It has been enforced by a dedicated national commission with a system of fines for violators and often forced abortions, leading to heartrending tales of loss for would-be parents. It would have made more sense to have a commission to plug the extras in where there are shortfalls, but I'm not a communist so I'm obviously wrong...
The policy led to sex-selective abortions or infanticide targeting girls, because of a centuries-old social preference for boys. If there aren't enough girls to contribute to the next wave of population growth you come up even shorter...

I almost bought one a couple of months ago. The old 9mm ball put nice clean holes through its targets. The ARX round looks to completely change that shortcoming.

Reliable old standby. Nothing fancy, Pachmayr's, a bit on the heavy side the way I like'em. Still in service with the Canadian Defense Forces I believe.

Recently looked at a back up/off-duty roscoe. Initially chose the G26. Upon further review, I went with what I know - the Sig 239 in 9 as I carry a 228. Pricey yes but in this realm I'm not skimping. Plus I didn't want to do the mental gymnastics of switching guns. 3 x mags w/night sights is $900 ++. Problem is getting one in Kalifornia post - San Berdoo. Backordered until who know when.
Now to SEAL question. Frankly I'm surprised by the decision. Thought they would have stayed with the Sig.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
