No it is not funny because I asked if anyone say the phenomenon in their local mall. I didn't say have you seen this in my local mall because I don't need confirmation because I saw it with my own eyes.

There is no panic to stir, the people are self-selecting to panic that is the point of the post, no mention of past or imminent raids


You may be lying about the emptiness of your "local shopping mall", OP, because you want to spread fear. Don't pretend to misunderstand me.


I am not afraid of you so I didn't and will ever beat about the bush with you. I said what I said.

One, I don't think immigrants are looking to DCUM to guidance on their safety, and two, if I said something like "watch out I saw ICE at the mall!" That would be inciting fear. Saying that people are choosing to hide out for some reason is not inciting fear in them--that is illogical.


Oh, and you "don't" message--I don’t listen to phrases in the imperative from internet strangers so that all you said was a waste of words.

It’s the layoffs and economy tanking, if OP is even reporting truthfully. Trump’s raids are for show - very little has happened. They even tried to pass off pictures from Obama’s raids as current raids just for the propaganda machine.

Have you been there in the last two weeks? There may have been a change since two weeks ago.

No this isn't it. An entire demographic has disappeared.

The near me, usually full with immigrant families shopping, is empty--not exaggerating. You see a few African American, Indian, and White people and that is it.
