On Tuesday night, a flash mob of some 40 to 50 teenagers invaded the busiest and most tourist-centric part of Hollywood, smashing windows, stealing cellphones, and assaulting passersby. The police described the incident as a “rolling crime wave.” One police official said that the George Zimmerman acquittal provided the flash point excuse for the flash mob. “They’re using Trayvon as an excuse,” the official said to local media. “They were saying, ‘Let’s go mess up Hollywood for Trayvon.’” The incident began when 911 dispatchers began getting calls about trouble on Hollywood and Vine, including young people running through traffic, bowling people over, and grabbing their purses and cell phones. The hoodlums robbed local stores as they charged down Hollywood Blvd. One took a cash register. “They kept moving from location to location,” said Officer Christopher No. According to LAPD Commander Andy Smith, the group coordinated beforehand via social media, believing that police presence was distracted by the anti-George Zimmerman protests in Crenshaw. “What we’re thinking is these youngsters took advantage of our redeployment of officers down to the Crenshaw District last night and decided that this would be a good night to come up to Hollywood and act a little crazy,” said Smith. Overall, the police arrested 12 people, 11 of them juveniles. The police are currently investigating surveillance video to find the rest of the suspects. Video appears to show more than one of the mob wearing hoodies.

I loved the comment from the black tour guide interviewed, “I don’t have sympathy for them. If they get caught, GO TO JAIL!”
Odd way to demonstrate that black youth in hoodies are not necessarily criminals.
love it
LOL!!!!!
Love that body guarding the cabbage!
The term “Wilding” supports your claim. Sounds more lawful than “rioting”, but it isn’t. Thanks, media. /s
I don’t like the crap movies and idiots that come out of Hollywood but have at it. Just remember, the Korean store owners don’t use “rubber” bullets. Just sayin...
What’s the ballistic resistance value of cabbage?
White Guilt Liberal Hollywood getting their comeuppance....Black KKK Racists hate Whitey whether you support Trademark or not
When this story first broke out, the PC correct news media refrained from reporting on who exactly were the rampaging youths terrorizing Hollywood. I have lived in LA for nearly 30 years—not far from Hollywood—and I know there are in fact a large number of runaways and homeless youth who have always been attracted to the area.
Then, reading today’s L.A. Slimes, I finally found out where these rampaging youth were coming from: On page A8 it says:
“In the end, 12 people were arrested on suspicion of robbery—11 juveniles and one 18-year-old man. All of those arrested, police said, lived in South L.A. neighborhoods.”
I know we’re not supposed to be racially profiling people in this PC world we live in, but coming from South L.A., that means all or most of the rampaging youths must have been black. Very few whites live in South L.A. certainly no white youths. Which further begs the question: Why were these rampaging youths from South L.A. terrorizing tourists and passersby on Hollywood Blvd? The only thing I can deduce is its payback time for the Zimmerman verdict-—that was the motivating factor putting two and two together. Of course you would never get this from our lousy PC correct news media.
The black YOOTS are fortunate that none of their victims were armed, or if they were, had declined to use their weapons.
When seconds count, the police have been redeployed an hour away.
Yeah, but the choice of color given what was exposed above the parapet leaves much to be desired - unless it was white kevlar.
Ha! They probably organized it!
Too bad they didn’t make it to Babs house.
Cool...what is that guy holding on the bottom left pic?
Kim chee fortification.
LA ought to declare open season on PUNK BASHING.
Ya know.....that’s a good point. A little camo or black would’ve been less noticeable.
I find it amusing that when the Left riots, they invariably foul their own nests.
