Mall cops freak out over steampunk meetup, call the real cops

I never said it wasn’t trespass; I just said you’re probably forgotten a week later. I dunno about your childhood mall, maybe they really did have enough rage to distinguish the good kids (with wallets) from the bad kids (with skateboards) and send the latter to the slam. I still think most mall cops are happy to punch the time clock and collect the paycheck, and couldn’t give a damn about steampunk clothes - unless it gets them in trouble.
