'Flash mob' stole $30G worth of merchandise at North Face store in Wisconsin, police say
FoxNews ^ | July 5, 2019

Wisonsin police are searching for 10 young men who they say were part of a 'flash mob' group accused of stealing $30,000 in merchandise this week from a North Face outlet, all in under 30 seconds — and captured on surveillance footage.

The camera footage shows a group of men entering the store around 7:45 p.m. Monday and then abruptly scurrying through several racks of outerwear and clothing, in footage released by the Pleasant Prairie Police Department.

The crew fled the store after about 20 or 30 seconds, after grabbing “as much merchandise as they could carry before running to the cars and leaving the property,” Sgt. Aaron Schaffer of the Pleasant Prairie Police Department told Kenosha News.

Police say the employees didn’t confront the thieves but immediately contacted the police department.

The group appeared to be a “flash mob," Schaffer added.

Were they “made-up” as African Americans?

Yes! It's clear from the video that they were in "black face". Most had MAGA caps stuffed away in their pockets!

Budding Democrats. Too bad it wasn’t a Nike store.

Lol! That would have been something!

“Flash mobs” are organized crime.

Digital criminal conspiracies.

Hey. Just redistributing some of the wealth.

Or maybe they can just call it *reparations*.

It is but those might not be roving bandits from a distant tribe. Of course, I cant see the changes that have happened in your area but I do know that near me entire tribal groups have escaped Chicongo and migrated here. Thousands. Overnight.

Every last one is “escaping the hood” by bringing it with them. So far all of the recently arrived that Ive met, and thats quite a few, are too stupid to hold a job except for a few instances where management is too distracted to notice how bad these people are @÷#&%* things up.

Im aware of a recent situation where one of these individuals was hired and from the outset absolutely refused to follow any policy, program, or directive. After far more chances than anyone else would be given immediate management kicked the problem up to higher management and they started leaving memos to “remind” all of us. This person just couldn’t imagine where upper management thought that they were getting their authority from and began leaving little notes on the memos. The last one started “this in dum in dont make no sins in i have problem with This...”

When they called him in for personal counseling he decided everyone was rayciss and made death threats against numerous individuals.

It is inevitable that these types are going to wind up in the system again but here we dont have the resources they are used to. This could turn real ugly and do so quickly.

These aren’t even “yutes.” These are men in their 20s and 30s.

Now now. I'm sure they just needed some supplemental income to help pay for college. College is, after all, very expensive these days. They otherwise appeared to be fine upstanding young men with brilliant futures ahead of them.

And the cost of merchandise would drop ~30%.

Remote controlled front gates.....that would trap the yoots but would also terrorize the legitimate customers.

Can’t shoot ‘em, so....sell the franchise, if possible.

Disgusting animals. Should have been shot, piled up and taken to the county dump. That’s about how much they are worth.

I don’t own any North Face stuff. Never figured out why I would want to pay $150 for a $10 warm-up jacket. Guess I should have just stolen one.
