The holidays are stressful. Malls are stressful. Combine the two and you have a percolating mixture that pushes humans to act in ways they normally wouldn’t and shouldn’t.
Which brings us to the Dec. 26 video of a fight at Beachwood Mall. It’s pretty self-explanatory stuff — social media seems to claim the fight started after someone stepped on someone else’s shoes, but who knows. Our favorite part? The guy laying on the ground to get a better angle for his filming.

God bless diversity.
Beachwood Mall becoming the new Severance? This makes me want to move away from Cleveland’s East Side. It’s going down.
Mall cops
The young punks have ruined and helped close every mall around here. we use to have some most beautiful malls over the years. Everyone was closed be3cause of young punks and gang activity.
This has been happening after Christmas all over the country – not just in NEOH. There were reports of big fights in malls in Chicago, Pittsburgh and Memphis. And those are just the ones that we know of, there are probably have been lots more that have gone unreported.
Fights in Walmarts are making move from the suburbs and to downtown.
Guess the race
Unbelievable. The most expensive mall in northeast Ohio and all I see is ghetto trash.
Damn, Beachwood is one tough place.
Animals, and heathens, go back to your ghettos thank you
Easy to stop this crap…sentence everyone involved and anyone who capitalizes off of it to a job…forced labor until all of the damages and business loss is recovered. Otherwise, Beechwood is the next Randall Park.

Funny how at the beginning of the article they call these animals “humans”
at least no one got shot
Since when did Clevescene attract such hateful comments?
This is why I hate being black
Leaves no question where the stereotype comes from.
Unpunished lawlessness only breeds more lawlessness. Let the police enforce the laws we already have. Forget about being politically correct. Forget about “kid glove” treatment of certain minorities. Get rid of easy going judges. Sentence ALL convicted offenders to minimum of 15 weeks or more of boot camp. Use closed military bases and otherwise unused state and federal facilities to house said offenders. Except for medical and instructor personnel, staff members should consist of civilian corrections officers, former military police, former special oops members or any similarly trained people. Discipline MUST and WOULD be strictly enforced. Inmates would be separated by gender and age group.
All inmates will be taught and must work at a skill of their choice. This would prepare them for a useful and productive life once released. Repeat offenders would be subject to even stricter discipline and have to work, in house, at the skill in which they had been trained. Any income from the outside world, earned from the labors of each inmate, would be split between the camp and the inmate. Upon release, each inmates savings would be doled out in a weekly amount.
This is NOT a prison or a concentration camp. It IS a way to control and punish youthful offenders of our laws of the land and turn them into useful members of society.
Beachwood mall the new Euclid square!
I won’t shop there anymore!
