I don't think that anyone was stating absolutes, unless it was you in assuming that I was. You would be a complete idiot to believe that everything applies to everything. Where did you get off track? Maybe it would help to state it like "increasing crime violence in malls" rather than just "violence in malls," so my mistake if you thought that I was saying that all malls are havens for gangs. Life is a bell curve and this is no different.
