Read this entire article about a new and dangerous phenomenon, "flash mobs," where gangs of criminals can use cell phones and text messages to swarm a certain area, faster than cops can respond. Then they go on an instant mugging and robbing spree, using "safety in numbers" to get away with their crimes and then rapidly dispersing before sufficient police can get to the scene to stop them.

stopping ... watch a mob scene that appeared to be getting out of control. Not to excuse the criminals but stopping to watch a riot isn't at all a good idea.

What’s needed are some “Muzzle Flash Mobs” to handle these punks.

I agree. The criminals bear the fault.
But that sure didn’t sound too bright.

Obama’s brownshirts in action. The uniforms are on order and have not yet arrived.

Hate Crime?
Cause surely it was a pack of out of control “white youts” attacking an innocent black man on his way home from work? (sarcasm off)

This stuff has got to stop now. Restore law and order in this country, or the citizens will do it themselves.

Good information. Thanks.
We were in Baltimore's Inner Harbor not long ago on a Saturday night. There were groups of "youths" hanging around all over the place and we didn't feel safe.

Surprise! Another Mormon!

Pics from the scene, including one of the perps. Carry guns, people... remember, if there aren't any police around to protect you from THEM, there aren't any police around to protect them from YOU.

That was the last safe area in Baltimore.

I think we can expect more of it. The media should call them gangs and thugs. Giving them cutsie names like “flash mob” is just going to encourage it.

There is much work to be done. *sigh*

A high capacity semi-automatic pistol and a stronger sense of survival would have come in very handy.
