Questions Arise Over Whether 'Flash Mob' Attacks in U.S. Cities Motivated by Race
Fox News ^ | 8/10/2011 | fox news

Posted on 08/10/2011 3:44:31 PM PDT by tobyhill

Police departments in several cities around the country are investigating what appear to be incidents of "flash mob"-generated violence, in which packs of dozens or even hundreds of youths appear seemingly out of nowhere to commit assaults, robberies and other crimes against innocent bystanders.

The motive and circumstances surrounding the attacks that have resulted in numerous arrests around the country are being investigated -- and law enforcement officials in at least one city are looking into a possible racial component to the crimes.

Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter, who recently imposed a stricter curfew in response to the city's latest attack, addressed black youths directly from the pulpit of his church on Sunday, reportedly saying, “You have damaged your own race.”

"If you want …anybody else to respect you and not be afraid when they see you walking down the street, then leave the innocent people who are walking down the street minding their own damn business. Leave them alone," Nutter told a mostly black congregation at Mount Carmel Baptist Church in West Philadelphia, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Do those assaulted by these mobs ask that question? If there’s a difference, it lends credence to the idea that people see what they already believe. And those whose job it is to spin, know what they want, and don’t want, to see. And that’s more important to them than this being addressed with blind justice, as justice is meant to be. Hurt feelings of those who share racial traits or sympathies with the attackers have often been more important than the actual physical injuries, even lives, of those attacked. And this must end now.

According to the Census Bureau the ratio of America that identifies itself as Black is 12.6%. According to the cameras that capture the Flash Mobs Attacks the ratio of attackers that are identified as black is running exactly 100%.

Ya Think even a Politician could figure out the answer to that question. As a good friend that is retarded says, "I may be retarded, but I'm not STOOPID!"

Wouldn’t it be of help to check out the messages on all the free cell phones that taxpayers are required to furnish to these animals?

Is the sky blue?

In Dallas, it's been that color all day long for as long as I can remember this summer.

Is grass green?

In Dallas, the color of grass is currently yellow or brown.

Is Rain water?

Please define the terms "rain" and "water". They are unfamiliar to many of us in the North Texas area.

This concludes a small detour into levity into what really is a critical matter with these flash mobs.

No dads. Many moms unable to cope. Preachers telling the kids it’s whitey’s fault, telling them that Islam is the way to go, telling them that they shouldn’t conform to the system, because it’s evil. State and federal officials running interference for the poor darlings. Midnight basketball.

School teachers telling them they don’t have to conform. Telling them that ebonics is their right. Telling them that society is against them. Telling them that the white man has kept them down.

Society tells them that the rap culture is productive, no matter if it includes very derogatory gender stereotypes against women.

Even this last week, we’ve seen someone state that middle-class whites have gotten all the wealth at the expense of blacks. Never-mind that they studied and or worked their asses off for decaades to get it.

The NAACP and the ACLU calling everyone racists who dared confront these minority kids.

Why would these kids ever think they were responsible for their own actions? Why would they think they had to do things that would enable them to gain wealth? Who has told them this message?

Nobody. Whitey tried and was attacked for it.

Well, now we’re all paying for what was enabled, and you know what, whitey will still get the blame.

I make a prediction that someone who has CCW will end up taking an a attacker down, which would end this mob violence. It will happen, mark my words.

The Flash Mobs on Greenline in DC's Metro that occur in L'Enfant Plaza station

Is this a regular occurrence? I sure haven't heard of it before.

I read today that the press doesn't publish these things for fear of encouraging more of the "youth" to emulate this behavior. But people need to know or we'll never be able to deal with the problem.

Of course, under this government, it's not a problem but a strategy.

The situation is there are vast numbers of federal cops in that area who go through that station ~ on their way home to Virginia.

The shooting will be done by cops ~ I don't think the kids realize who they are messing with.

Just because the mob members are all blacks and are beating only on whites while yelling “Get Whitey!” is no reason to rush to judgement.

It really doesn’t matter what motivates them, the problem is they know there are no consequences for their actions.

The police in the Iowa state fair last year came to the same conclusion.

The police are mandated to tell the truth about everything except these issues. That’s when you get fired for telling the truth.

Whether it’s racial or not, I would punish with death any of those in the mob that physically harm anyone.

Exactly what is the question? Is it blacks doing this? Is that what they’re trying to figure out?

Shoot first, ask questions later.

If you're in a city and you don't think it can happen where you're at believe me, you are wrong.

This is a trend being propagandized on social media and being posted on websites to honor their doings.

Youtube is trying their hardest to take it down as fast as they crop up.

I believe it is caused by moral decay and the government interfering in people’s business to achieve their agenda of greed and power.

They are the problem.

I wasn’t talking about London, I was talking about the Obama Yuths...

The London situation is different, socialism is all they know, capitalism is a foreign concept. Cut their freebies a little, they turn into an angry mob. Just look at Greece, same thing. Just like spoiled children.
