'Bash mobs' sweep through Southern California
LA Times ^ | 7-19-13 | Ari Bloomekatz

Organized "bash mob" crime rampages of roving groups attacking innocent people and businesses have been striking cities around the United States. Law enforcement agencies in Southern California have reported few similar problems -- until now.

In the last several days, there have been several reports of such group crime waves in South L.A., Hollywood, San Bernardino and Victorville. Long Beach police are bracing for another one Friday.

These so-called bash mobs of "flash mob" crime waves are organized through social media and have been a problem in Chicago, Philadelphia and Washington. In April, 28 Chicago youths were arrested on suspicion of attacking pedestrians along the city's famed Magnificent Mile. Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn signed legislation in May enacting stiffer penalties for people who text or use social media to organize mob attacks.

Long Beach police warned in a statement that participants could face severe penalties.

"The mere participation in such an event can result in felony charges including conspiracy, and are punishable by imprisonment in the state prison," according to the statement.

Police said they feared bash mob organizers planned to hit Long Beach at 2 p.m.

“Stay out of the ‘hood. “

With cell phones, smart phones, and a leader or two, these “roving bands of yoot” are moving considerably out of “the hood”.

And today 0bama asked if a black person might shoot a person who was following them. Rhetorically.

Uh huh.

And any white victim who doesn't lay back and enjoy his beatdown -- any white victim with a concealed carry license who engages in legitimate self defense -- will be severely punished and mocked in the national media.

The entire msm will have blood on their hands, along with the usual race baitors. No one should assume that this time around people are just going to stand by and take it.

Not a word from Soetoro about urban crime mobs only how little old white ladies shouldn’t be allowed to lock their doors - they might offend a playa.

Why does it matter how they're organize? A mob is a mob.
