“According to the video, would I be wrong in saying that they were all black kids?”

Can’t tell, but as usual there is plenty of cutesy side-stepping of that likely fact.

Interesting. Same thing happened in Cleveland yesterday. A crowd of maybe 200 "youths" gathered at an Eastside mall and began disrupting everyone with riding bikes in the mall, inside a WalMart, etc. Some were beat up and badly hurt.

Must be a trend.

[MsLady]

It has to be. Darn those Amish.

“Flash Mob” tries to give the sense that this was one of those silent groups of harmless internet geeks that sometimes gather.

This was rather just a good old-fashioned riot by a bunch of ghetto thugs who were off school for the week (those that bother to go to school).

More like tweating twits. It’s funny how they are so poor yet can afford most of the daily luxuries like expensive gym shoes and cellphones. When we sponsored my cousin from Shanghai to become a US citizen, he thought the residents of Cabrini-Green public housing were all rich since they could afford to own cars and televisions and even professors in China could not at that time(this was in 1980).

Before Intercourse, it was Bird in Hand, and I kid you not.

It doesn’t sound like a “flash mob”.

The next morning, at dawn, the Zulus approach to within several hundred yards and begin singing a war chant; the British respond by singing “Men of Harlech”. In the last assault, just as it seems the Zulus will finally overwhelm the tired defenders, the British soldiers fall back to a tiny redoubt that Chard had earlier ordered constructed out of mealie bags. With a reserve of soldiers hidden within the redoubt, they form into three ranks, and pour volley after volley into the stunned natives. They withdraw after sustaining heavy casualties. Later, the Zulus sing a song to honour the bravery of the defenders and leave.

I thought snowball fights in Philly were limited to Eagle games. It is comforting to know that football does not cause snowball fights.

Similar to the "flash mobs" near South Street in June 2009, investigators believe Tuesday's brawl might have been organized on the internet.

Don't conspiracy laws come into play.

[Charles Martel]

Where will it end????

****************

Either in Blue Ball, PA or Kuntztown, PA

Thanks so much for the Dr. Pepper sinus flush. Fresh can, too - maximum fizz.

;-)

According to the radio report, conspiracy charges were made against 14 of them (Amish) that were arrested early .

[Isabel C.]

How long before these business’s move out of Philadelphia?

But that would be racist!

I know I am just a grouchy old man, out of touch with the youth of today. In fact, I was out of touch with the youth of my own day. At 17 I was working after school at a grocery and worrying about work or the military after high school graduation. My friends in our small mining town were doing the same. Adulthood began at 18 and so did the responsibilities. I fail to understand today's world where twenty somethings are still children for all intents and purposes.

For God's sake grow up "kids"!

[TexasFreeper2009]

I would of arrested as many as I could confiscated their phones and used them to track down each and every one of the others that had planned to be there.

[End Times Sentinel]

Sounds like a normal day at the Gallery to me.

[nuvista]

Hey, it’s Philly... definitely, those crazy Pennsylvania Dutch!!!
