I smoked weed at the mall all the time from 2006-2010 lmao

At what point do we punish a group of people for the actions of a few, because cranky, middle aged men have been ruining this subreddit for months, and I'm ready to have y'all fined for abusing the privileged.

I walked past several high school aged kids openly smoking it the Lenfant Metro entrance in broad daylight. The kids in DC are on an entirely different level these days.

Seems like this is a temporary policy. If things get better they will lighten up. If things don't then what else can the mall itself do. Solutions need to come from government as a whole, not a single private entity.

Atomic auto salon on Red Branch Road does good work. I got ceramic and PPF there. Perhaps on the pricier side though. They had a lot of high end cars while I was there too. I get my detailing done a Pro Wash Auto spa also on Red Branch road. They're great and offer PPF iirc.

Yeah this is absolutely not ok, but hopefully there can be some sort of middle ground rather than banning teens from malls without parents. We take away all the places they can hang out then complain when they stay inside playing video games all day.

It doesn’t matter if you think it’s a bad thing because the mall is going to crack down on ALL teenagers, by requiring them to have a chaperone anyways

I’m seeing really young kids openly smoking, it’s almost like they’re daring you to say something. Especially becoming more noticeable in DC, like at the entrances of metro stations. I’m all about legalizing marijuana for adults. But it’s troubling to see really young kids do this, and the brazenness of it is also concerning.

This is a red herring. It’s not about loitering or even smoking weed as others brought up. it’s about egregious and violent behavior.

Exactly. This is not about loitering, this is about people not even feeling safe.

I’m gonna go ahead and assume it wasn’t 12 year olds smoking weed like that in public. And If it was then we have a WAY worse problem than just smoking in public places on our hands

You're treating an entire group of people as a single entity. Don't think I need to explain why that's a bad thing.

I went to Soundworks in Millersville and they did a great job. Got a discount on tint when I did PPF as well.

It took about 2 days.

I swear all the bad shit Ive heard about the wilde lake area is just racism. One of the highest comments says "they smoked weed outside" like thats so scary. When i went to wilde lake hs everyone just did that sh at school

Cracking down on bad behavior: good.

Prohibiting an entire class of people from hanging out at the mall: bad.

Being at the mall is a privilege. They’ve abused that privilege so there needs to be a crackdown on unattended teens

Loitering is an imaginary crime made up to oppress black people and the homeless.

I live right by the target, super safe

Jfc 3.5k.

I refuse to believe teens didn't spoke pot in semi-open areas of your suburb as a kid

Super dangerous. Move to Eldersberg

Agree with fines for parents if the kids assault other people, but disagree on the "loitering." It's a mall people are supposed to loiter. Most kids just want a place to spend time with friends and the mall is a great place for that. It's the kids starting fights and shooting bystanders with toy guns that is the problem.
