Many of the people who went to South and Broad Streets on the evening of May 30 appear to have been responding to text messages and online social networking sites, creating a type of spontaneous gathering known as a "flash mob."

The idiots probably didn't even think about the phone records. All it takes is for one of them to get busted, and his phone will lead the cops to all the rest.

No doubt. Not to mention they've probably posted all the incriminating cell phone camera footage on their myspace pages.

These thugs are hardly criminal masterminds. Possessing IQs of about 75, they're pretty easy to catch as they act impulsively and generally don't put much thought into getting away with it. That these moronic losers were capable of planning a "flash mob" is impressive. Maybe they're evolving?

Cell phone records will not only show you as having sent or received a "flash mob" text message, but also where you were (or at least what the nearest cell tower was) when you sent or received a message or phone call.
