A mob of teenagers have been caught on tape robbing a convenience store in Bryan, Texas. Surveillance video shows the kids rushing through the store, grabbing everything they can get their hands on as girls are seen twerking and doing the splits outside. The frightening ransacking incident took place Saturday as store clerk Terry Polsgrove, 19, was shutting up for the night.A few teenagers are seen trickling into the Chevron Food Mart, then, all of a sudden, 30 to 40 teenagers are dancing and acting 'crazy' down the aisles and in the parking lot. The surveillance video shows some of the youths shoplifting chips, candy and soda worth about $200, Kelly McKethan, spokesperson for the Bryan Police Department, told The Eagle. Polsgrove said said it was too much for the two workers to handle inside, adding that one of the suspects even stole beer but dropped it on the way out.
'Within a matter of 20 minutes, I was overwhelmed by kids ages 8 to 17, I mean it was crazy,' Polsgrove said. 'I've never seen anything as crazy as that.' No one was injured during the 20 minutes that the large group spent in and around the store. Polsgrove can be seen trying to pull the doors closed, he said to separate the teens. But the group swamps him and he gives up.

Attorney General Eric Holder said problems often stem from well intentioned "zero-tolerance" policies that can inject the criminal justice system into school matters.
"A routine school disciplinary infraction should land a student in the principal's office, not in a police precinct," Holder said.
But it's about race, too, the government said in a letter accompanying the new guidelines it issued Wednesday.
"In our investigations, we have found cases where African-American students were disciplined more harshly and more frequently because of their race than similarly situated white students," the Justice Department and Education Department said in the letter to school districts. "In short, racial discrimination in school discipline is a real problem."http://news.yahoo.com/gov-39-t-most-school-discipline-not-mean-212040897--politics.html?bcmt=comments-postbox
I suppose Holder will blame this crime on racism against black youths. Like knock out games ! It's always someone's elses's fault.. .
I agree with Holder on the zero-tolerance policies. Kids have been suspended and the law involved for pointing a finger at another and going bank (kindergarten). I could care less about the proportionality the zero-tolerance rules are insane. The reason many came into being though is because of differing punishments and people claiming bias in those cases. But principals are paid to make hard choices not just point to a line in the rules and say nothing I can do.
It was a game. You know, like Scrabble or Monopoly.
Nobody in Texas owns a shotgun?
More right-wing, Tea party, Christian conservatives I see!
Will those rascals never learn to control their behavior?
If only they could hold themselves to the high, Progressive standard.
By not being “discouraged”?
If Obama had a son.....
Should have auto locks on the door after they get in. Then gas em.
Luckily, being a Chevron Food Mart the wholesale loss was only $5.
Another thread had a Rochester councilman stating that it’s not a problem of lawless uncivilized behavior, it’s a matter of our cultural definition of civilized not matching with the “youth’s” definition.
Et tu, Texas? (Texas!?????)
This is great — they’ve made the Daily Mail
Now the world can all see what Obama’s sons and daughters are like when not in school doing the same thing in their classrooms.
Where’s the corps of cadets when you need them? Whoop?
So are the apologists deluded in the fashion suggested by Romans, Chapter 1?
Can they really be that obtuse?
Or are they disingenuous and cynical, deceptive in favor of an agenda?
Should it matter to our response?
Looks like a scene from “The Walking Dead”.
If the authorities we have entrusted to protect us from lawless behavior not only refuse to do something about it, but encourage it,
it will be up to us, the people, to do what we must to protect ourselves.
