Mall Cops

There was a recent incident at Perimeter Mall that made the Blue Bag Rag's Police Blotter involving two masked yoots carrying sometimes concealed, sometimes not so much, pistols. The mall's cops were first to spot them, and you gotta wonder if they don't really stand out wearing masks as these masks were not described as the pandemic variety. The mall cops escalated to DPD who came and confronted the yoots. 

This is where it gets hinky. Upon approach, one yoot revealed his pistol and placed his hand on the grip. Now, before George Floyd that probably would have reduced the yoot count from two to one, requiring a Weapon Discharge Report, but not in this case. In this case, the yoots were detained and juvenile detention was contacted and the police were informed that this situation did not rise to the level of detaining these yoots. Instead these yoots were charged, including gun charges, and delivered unto their grandmother and mother, respectively. No mention of a male biological contributor being involved.

So. You gotta wonder. Just what would these yoots have to do in order to warrant being detained? Keep in mind the firearms were possessed illegally as these yoots were not old enough to have them in their possession. Maybe if they'd actually discharged a firearm? Or, would they have to hit someone? Not enough? Well, what if they killed someone?

All we know for certain is these yoots were set free and only a fool would believe they have not already re-armed.
