We posted earlier today about plans by looters to attack the South Coast Plaza. Apparently they are also posting on social media that they will gather at the beleaguered MainPlace Mall tonight at 8 p.m.

While the City of Costa Mesa has already announced an 8 p.m. curfew tonight, and their police department has issued a press release announcing they are going to be ready to stop the looters.

Santa Ana enforced a 10 p.m. curfew last night. So far no word as to an extension for tonight. But I am told that our police department will definitely be monitoring this situation.

The MainPlace Mall just announced on May 26 that “We are excited to welcome you back to MainPlace Mall on Friday, May 29th. Our hours will be Mon-Sat 11 a.m. – 7 p.m., Sun 12-6 p.m.” How sad that now they have to deal with possible looters after being closed for so long due to the Coronavirus Pandemic.

The MainPlace Mall has been targeted by out of town robbers for years. I hope they board up the place tonight and bring in armed guards.

  1. Yep. Board it up and post armed guards…with orders to shoot, shoot them again, shoot them a third time, and when all the suspects are DEAD, start asking a few questions.

  2. OC Residents.. Stay armed and be ready! Know your neighbors (you have been taking walks haven’t you?!?) If you see a fire you shoot the one making the sparks.. There are no rules in war #wakeup #phucksocialism

  3. Tell is guy name Spensas_gee is the one who tell everyone and post about it and he not alone is name is on Instagram.

  4. I would be very interested to know the source. This sounds and look like a ploy from people aiming to make things worse for their own gain. Its put together very.. Odd…..

  5. damn sad seeing my old County act this way… Protect your County not Destory it.. Come on Dont Break Code!!!!!!

  6. Dont put up with this bad behaviour. Un original thugs beat the shit out em throw em jail

    1. Those people are called rioters, agitators, Democrats. Be afraid. They release criminals, tell you that you can’t protect yourself, and tell the police to stand down.

      1. I said that I am more afraid of the people who are itching for any excuse to shoot people than I am of the rioters.
