"Police did not know if the planned ‘Bash Mob’ was connected to a similar incident in Hollywood Tuesday evening. "

So “flash mob” isn’t good enough anymore?

[princess leah]

Taser Guns would be highly effective in disbanding them and then when they are immobilized, arrest them and leave them in jail for awhile...

[TurboZamboni]

“Bash’s fault”

[Opinionated Blowhard]

How ironic. Now they’re using social media to “organize” the breakdown of society and the return to lawlessness. Portraying it as some new social trend and giving it a catchy name like “bash mob” doesn’t change the fact that America is now experiencing what every society since Rome has when it falls apart — a return to chaos where the mob simply takes what it wants and the police either lack the will or means to stop it.

“Give them a whiff of the grape.”

Clockwork Orange.

Concertina wire strung between two fast-moving HMMWVs is an effective crowd control measure, producing few fatalities while achieving psychological dominance.

[BillM]

Nope, rock salt from 12 Gauge.

Every nightmare from Orwell’s ‘1984’ to Clockwork Orange is becoming reality.

Nah, I’m thinking a good acid sprayer on a few mob crowds and that BS will stop. Its not time to show any fear but it is time to forget the PC crap. The end law of the land is use of force and it always has been; discussions will not work with mentally disturbed low IQ lemmings.

[MestaMachine]

Bash begets bang. And that's all I have to say about that.

It is like large gangs, but without rival gangs to control them.

This is one answer to the question of why someone needs a high capacity magazine.

"Can you dig it!!!"

[CharlesWayneCT]

You could try non-destructive responses. I always thought setting loose a few skunks into such a mob would be a sufficient deterrent.

With the types of people who show up for something like this, I think its the skunk that would run away in horror at the smell and filth.

[spokeshave]

Load up the water canons with pig sludge.

That right thar's purty funny, I don't care who you are.
