I live about 8 minutes away, should I go and see if they will respond to questions?
I've lived here for at least the last 15 years and that mall is mostly vacated because of a police/assailant shooting a number of years back, since then parents stopped taking their kids there and the mall businesses dropped off dramatically fast.
From my understanding, a Chinese or other foreign hedge fund group purchased the mall and not much has happened to it since, you can still go by and walk around the mostly closed up shops. There was a Chinese buffet that was still open last time I stopped in.
~~~ EDIT UPDATE ~~~
Finally done uploading, I am to lazy to cut edit and resize so enjoy the quality 170MB 1:23 video.
I am off work again tomorrow so I may swing by earlier in the day and check in again, also might go inside the mall and see if I can talk to or get a contact number for whoever would be in charge of giving them the access to park the RV here.
No other officially marked vehicles in the lot. There was a Penske Truck about 4 spaces down, one of the big moving trucks. Otherwise other cars in the lot were likely shopping or had business in the mall. I also drove around to the 2 nice hotels on the other side of the mall to check for any DHS teams, but unless they drive unmarked vehicles now I did not see any at those nicer/closest hotels.(I have seen the DHS teams before, quite hard to miss, I was on a job down in Dallas couple years back and our hotel we'd been using for weeks had a team move in and they had like 15 vehicles all marked and geared up)
It is dark now, but I did take my dog with me and made a video which I am in the process of uploading. But you are correct, no one was there to speak to at about 8PM, checked and no signs condensation drippings from Air Conditioning so it is most likely just being parked there in the big unused parking lot.
Yes, please do. If you're that close I would trust your word and photos, if you can get any, more than some suit in Washington or on MSNBC/Fox news when they decide to comment on it next week... if they make any comment that soon.

I can't quite tell from the video, but it would seem there were two FEMA RV's in the website photo, and only one when you checked the place out.
Did one of them leave since the original photo was taken, or did the video just not catch the other one from that angle?

Did you happen to get the FEMA logo in frame at any point in the video, or are you saying you made a video talking about what you saw?
(Sorry. I can wait, I know I'm impatient.)

Hell yeah for OC. You just gained some voat street cred as far as I'm concerned!

Make sure you bring a friend to keep an eye on you... but that would be real cool if you could give us a second source!
Also, is there more than one photo of these things? That would be a grade-school photoshop project...
