They stole the phone from right in front of him while reading the paper. They took a calculated risk that he wasnt going to chase them... they were wrong.

It has it's own police force. These people were beyond retarded (for more than obvious reasons).[/QUOTE]
It actually has its own [I]security[/I] force. Not police. They work very closely with the police though
Why would you even steal a phone in todays day and age? you can track that shit especially an iphone and brick it remotely rendering it useless. Which brings me to point 2, why the fuck would you want an iphone 4S?

That's probably the main reason people buy that overpriced shit.

Sounds like some bad Steve martin joke...
Me and a friend got beat by a gang of tough fucks @ a train station a few years ago, one of them had one of those small clubs and I can attest that they hurt like a motherfucker.
What a bunch of dicks

The guy was going to grab the phone and run, no one knew the girls were even part of this at that point. By the time the old guy got ahold of some security and managed to explain what happened, the thief would be long gone. That was the plan and it was very workable with a high chance for success and a low chance for any major failure.
EXCEPT this isn't just some old guy. This old guy can, and will, run after young criminal scum. That forced the girls to back up their man(I'm sure one of these girls is his gf/cumbucket). Now a minor crime with little chance of involving jail time turns into a serious and probably felony level assault. The girl who isn't this guy's gf will probably be the one to rat him out. She'll get off lightly, while the billy club bitch and the guy do jail time.

at the time that this happened there was at least one security officer at each entrance to the mall. Hell, trying to steal anything for the next 4 days would still be hard because of all the heightened security
Fights are pretty common at the MOA. Lots of people try to kill themselves by jumping offf the parking ranp too. One lady was depressed over her debt, jumped off a lower level (why not go to the top at least?) and landed on a tree. Lets just say her medical bills will be worse than whatever debt she had.
Also sometimes gang members will go there looking for teenage girl runaways amd try to pick them up so they can get them drug addicted and turned into prostitutes.
Nice place, the mall is...
everything you mentioned really does not happen often. At all. It used to back when the mall first opened, but today its really safe
theres no reason ti believe that you'll fall victim to a crime at the mall of america. The building is beyond safe. On rare occasion things like whats in the OP happen, but its not enough to even highlight. The biggest thing that happens daily is theft of private property from stores. Not the person.
[QUOTE=dai;43342381]I've been to the MOA, kind of weird thinking something this oddly brutal could have happened. "bludeoned over a phone" isn't exactly on your list of worries in most places but still
in what mindset does "this dude getting away with an iphone" have such high precedence that you would give yourself up by clubbing someone bloody until the cops arrest you. Could it have even been a bigger setup, knowing they were after a politician's phone and not just some old guy?

People get mugged at knife/gunpoint over their possessions. And I have no shadow of a doubt that it would result in murders if people weren't so scared shitless and attempted resistance.
Moral of the story is, some people are more shitty and/or fucked up & stupid than you can possibly imagine.
Possessions satisfy someone for all of 5 minutes, then they want the next thing. Is it worth killing over?
Fuck no. But the desire to have it is too much for some people, and they can't get it themselves, so they resort to stealing it because they believe that they deserve it more and that they are objectively correct in their situational analysis.
And honestly the experience of being attacked, threatened or mugged is fucking dreadful. Especially when you're completely powerless and literally reduced to begging for your life at the hands of someone you don't even know, who is fucking unstable and believes themselves to be doing the right thing or perceives you as worthless and/or the enemy/target.
Unfortunately the punishment never fits the crime. Muggers (even armed) get shitty sentences.
They should literally be forced into situations where they themselves are helpless and begging for forgiveness at the mercy of another human. And then only given mercy at the last possible second, when their entire ego has been torn to shreds and are literally weeping at the thought of what is to follow.
Sharkeisha no.
