Rand Paul was right.

It was an ordinary night, August 26, at the Exxon Tiger Mart at South Polk Street and Interstate 20 in Dallas.
C.J. Thomas, the store's clerk, was behind the counter when a rush of customers came through the door at 10:12 p.m.
"There was more coming in than going out," Thomas said. "Once they realized how many were in there, one of the students started throwing stuff and screamed out. Everything after that went crazy."
Store surveillance cameras from different angles show bottles being thrown.
Seconds later, Thomas ran to the front door. He tried to close it, but he couldn't hold back the crowd.
Some of them grabbed drinks, chips, and other items and began pushing their way out. Thomas said he tried to stop some people from stealing.
"In the process of them walking out, tried to stop a student with a lot of things in his hands and when I tried to do that, he shoved me out into the parking lot and swung at me," Thomas said.
Thomas then says several men then pulled him to the ground and started kicking and punching him.
"I was terrified," he said. "At first, I thought I would be able to get back into the store, and once they got me on the ground, I thought they were going to kill me."
Thomas suffered cuts on his nose, eyes and lip. He still has a bruised rib and bicep. He told us his injuries would have been worse if two girls hadn't stepped in.
"I'm very grateful for that," said Thomas. "If it wasn't for them, I could have lost my life."
Thomas and his family met with Dallas police Wednesday afternoon. Officers are now investigating the incident as an aggravated robbery assault. Thomas hopes this video motivates witnesses to come forward.
"If you all have any idea who did this, please put their names out there, 'cause if they don't get caught, they are going to do it again," Thomas said.
If you have any information on this case, call the Dallas Police Department.

Amish youth right?
It’s Texas... CARRY!!!!!
Oh, yeah.
“Amish youth right?”
Naw. It would be in the title if it were Amish yoots.
The quote marks around “young” correctly question that adjective.
However, I’ll go WAY out on a politically-incorrect limb, and offer some doubt about the proper use of the noun, “people”.
Freaking Dallas, in contention for the most liberal city in Texas.
Rand Paul was right.
A shotgun would readily close those doors.
Young means black?
I could have guaranteed this was done by blacks without looking at the video. We used to live near there until DISD decided the neighborhood schools were too segregated and bussed in low income blacks to predominately white middle to upper middle class Oak Cliff (that’s what that part of Dallas is called). That began the white flight and you know the rest
At I-20 and Polk? Yes.
In most other locations, this is called looting.
Why not have the police hold an assembly at Carter High, run the video for the whole school and detain for questioning anyone trying to sneak out the back door.
Sounds like a local flash mob deal to me.
Another hate crime that will never be prosecuted.
Sounds like a “Flash Mob” type robbery. The media failure to mention race virtually assures the reader that the robbers were black. America has become like the press in the old Soviet State: the reader must read between the lines!
One German Shepherd released from the back room and the problem is solved. Oppressed affies fear big dogs.
