Teen Takeovers Are OUT OF CONTROL – What’s Happening to America?

Added: 2026-05-25

[00:00:00]Across the country, spontaneous teen takeovers are popping up. Teen takeover.

[00:00:04]Teen takeovers. Teen takeovers. Let me ask you a question. How do they know it's a teen takeover? Because they can use their eyes and recognize that the people who are there are teens. Well, uh if you use those same eyes, what else can you discern about 99% of the teens in these takeover videos? That's right.

[00:00:25]They're all black teens, but you're not allowed to make that observation. No, no. These are just teens. Don't notice anything else. So, why does it matter what race they are? I can hear a liberal shriek. Simple. How can you solve a problem if you're unwilling to admit what the problem is?

[00:00:46]Hundreds of teens flooded Bartow Avenue when they passed several businesses and police cars. This is insane. I mean, I haven't seen it this bad ever.

[00:00:57]The chaotic scene on the day students were home from school was the aftermath of a teen takeover of Bay Plaza promoted on social media. They was posting on Insta, right? How they going to be a takeover cuz, you know, it's winter break. As we arrived at the busy shopping mall, several students approached our car window. We are blurring their faces. What was the reason you came?

[00:01:17]>> cuz everybody was bored.

[00:01:18]Everybody was bored.

[00:01:21]The takeover spread across several businesses, even those outside of the mall, leaving this McDonald's [music] window shattered in its path. A bunch of kids just came in here.

[00:01:31]Pop, pop, they was breaking everything.

[00:01:33]And I was like, what the hell? I don't know. I was scared for my life, man. I got kids at home. That teen takeover across Bay Plaza [music] Mall has forced some businesses, like Chipotle, to put up a sign that read very close. It felt like a good hour they was just bothering us.

[00:01:49]Kwame is the manager at this [screaming] Chipotle. He showed us videos of the frightening incident that ended up on social media. it.

[00:01:56]Like that kids were just going as they please. Just kind of messed up. This evening, police cars are parked outside of the shopping mall, and a spokesperson [music] at Bay Plaza confirms it is operating at their normal hours. In Co-op City, Jonathan Calixto, News 12 The Bronx. Hey everyone, welcome back to Mr. Zach Reacts. Today, I'm dropping the usual format and coming at you raw with a no-holds-barred monologue.

[00:02:22]As a pissed-off conservative dad and fed-up American, I've had enough of this chaos.

[00:02:28]We're talking about the dangerous teen takeover epidemic tearing apart our cities, beaches, and streets.

[00:02:35]This is straight-up insanity, and it's time to call it out. Let's get into it.

[00:02:41]My fellow Americans, what the hell is happening to this country?

[00:02:45]We are under siege by packs of out-of-control teenagers turning our cities into war zones.

[00:02:52]These reckless teen takeovers are not youthful fun. They're a full-blown epidemic of crime, destruction, and pure savagery exploding worse in Democrat-run cities across America.

[00:03:05]Streets, beaches, shopping centers, nothing is safe anymore.

[00:03:11]These mobs swarm in, smash property, attack innocent people, and laugh while law-abiding citizens live in fear.

[00:03:20]Enough is enough. Just look at the chaos they're causing. [music] In Washington, D.C., these little thugs took over a Chipotle, turned it into a damn war zone, throwing chairs, swinging punches, terrifying customers who just wanted a burrito.

[00:03:39]In Chicago, hundreds of these punks flood intersections, beating people, damaging cars, and turning tourist areas into combat zones.

[00:03:49]>> [music] >> And don't even get me started on Rhode Island.

[00:03:53]At Narragansett Town Beach, hundreds of these delinquents went wild, leaving three or more people stabbed in the bloody mayhem.

[00:04:02]Families can't even enjoy a damn beach day without worrying about getting caught in a riot.

[00:04:08]Los Angeles is suffering the same street takeovers. Cars wrecked, streets blocked, businesses destroyed.

[00:04:16]This garbage is spreading like cancer because soft-on-crime liberal policies have told these kids there are zero consequences.

[00:04:25]They know the system [music] won't touch them, so they run wild like animals.

[00:04:36]And where the hell are the parents?

[00:04:39]That's what makes me the angriest. Too many of you pathetic, spineless parents are letting your kids run amok with zero discipline, zero rules, and zero accountability.

[00:04:52]You dropped them off at these mob scenes, let them roam the streets at all hours, and then act shocked when they make the news for stabbing people or destroying property.

[00:05:02]You created these kids. It's your damn job to raise them right.

[00:05:07]Stop being their friend and start being their parent.

[00:05:11]Teach them respect, consequences, and basic human decency before they ruin their lives and everyone else's.

[00:05:20]Thank God we finally have a real fighter stepping up.

[00:05:24]United States Attorney Jeanine Pirro is not playing games.

[00:05:28]She has held strong press conferences, put parents on notice, and launched an aggressive campaign to crush this nonsense. What we're seeing increasingly across the district is not only unacceptable, it is violent, it is dangerous, and it is illegal. And I am here to tell you it is going to stop.

[00:05:50]And parents, >> [music] >> I'm talking about you now.

[00:05:53]This is a different scenario than any other time in the history of the district because we are looking beyond those individuals who are committing the crimes [music] irrespective of how old they are. And we're looking at the parents to make [music] sure that they understand that they are responsible for the upheaval that is going on in this district that is impacting everyone who lives here.

[00:06:20]She's starting hard in the DC area with strict curfews and real enforcement.

[00:06:26]And she's holding parents accountable like never before. If your kid violates curfew during these takeovers, you're getting slapped with a $500 fine every single time.

[00:06:37]Contribute to the delinquency of a minor, get ready for up to 6 months in jail. If your teen parents is a curfew violator, you're subject to a $500 fine each and every time.

[00:06:51]And if there are crimes under contributing to the delinquency of a minor, you face up to 6 months in prison.

[00:07:00]And I am not shy about looking for jail time.

[00:07:04]The people of the district have had enough and we do not want this increasing as these teens run wild through our neighborhood.

[00:07:14]That's right. Jail time for [music] useless parents who refuse to control their children.

[00:07:21]Piro is sending a clear message. Do your job or the government will do it for you. And it's about damn time.

[00:07:29]This epidemic is destroying the quality of life that hardworking, law-abiding Americans deserve.

[00:07:36]People are scared to go out at night, take their families to public places, or even run a small business.

[00:07:43]Tourists are staying away.

[00:07:45]Cities are bleeding money and respect.

[00:07:49]Meanwhile, these undisciplined teens are being set up for failure, prison, or worse.

[00:07:55]All because their parents checked out and liberal leaders refuse to enforce basic law and order.

[00:08:01]>> [music] >> We need real solutions now.

[00:08:04]Parents must step up with strict rules, real consequences, and actual involvement in their kids' lives. Get them into positive programs, after-school sports, trade skills training, mentorship groups like Big Brothers Big Sisters, supervised community centers, legitimate job programs, and strong faith-based youth organizations that build character instead of excuses.

[00:08:32]America, it's time to get ruthless about this.

[00:08:37]Back fighters like Jeanine Pirro, who are finally willing to enforce the law and punish negligent parents.

[00:08:44]Demand your local leaders do the same in Los Angeles and every other city suffering from this garbage.

[00:08:50]Raise your kids right or face the consequences.

[00:08:54]>> [music] >> If we don't crush this teen takeover epidemic right now, it will destroy everything we love about this country.

[00:09:02]What do you think? Sound off in the comments.
