...and the MD General Assembly does not feel that tougher punishments to address this growing criminal activity is warrented?
At least they find the time to raise taxes high enough to create an exodus of business owners and citizens to neighboring Virginia, while the mayor of B'more has set a goal to recruit 10,000 illegal alien families to the city.
They need to arrest anyone in groups of 4 or more.
Nothing extraordinary here, unfortunately.
Gee, wonder what’s going on?! It’s a liberal paradice in Maryland! A frien of mine was in Eastport (near Annapolis) an area that’s considered absolute commie utopia. He has a “1/2013, End of an Error) sticker on his car. Two tires slashed by the tolerant, diverse people of MD.
They deserve flash mobs. They should be thrilled! This is what they wanted. If someone doesn’t have what they want...take it!

It is just the Kenyan’s Kids doing what they know is right- redistributing income.
DE may be tax free but MD is plain ol FREE FREE!
I wonder how long it will take before the "tolerance" of local business wears thin
Arm and train the clerks. If the police will not punish then the staff must defend or the business will not be able to continue.
Do RICO laws apply? Sounds like organized crime to me!
"Tougher punishments" are only useful to The Police State for further subjugating law-abiding peasants.
The Baltimore DA could find dozens of charges to file against these yutes in order to get them to plead.
There are already laws against robbery.
Sooner or later Holder’s people are going to “flash rob” a store where the owner is going to unload a shotgun in their faces. It might spark a SHTF moment in the inner cities of this country.
Getcher FREE obamaphones here!
Can’t start a Flash Mob or Flash Snatch without ‘em!
Nothing new, in the ultra leftist SF Bay Area crime statistics have been falling because progressive mayors have ordered police chiefs to have officers lower the level of of the seriousness of the crime on police reports, on pain of firing. Police chiefs serve at the pleasure of the mayor, and will pass the firing on down the line by performance reports before they go.
Thus the progressive mayors and DA's can fulfill their political promise of lowering the crime rate without actually arresting or prosecuting any of their voting block. It's the California criminal protection plan, and it works fine.
Most upsetting to MoCo officials is the loss of tax revenue from the plastic bags, no doubt.
Only one way retail business will survive in those conditions: place all merchandise in secure inventory. No floor displays or samples. You want something? Point to the picture of what you want. Pay for it. Move on.

A small can of pepper spray would go a long ways in this type of situation.
“After reviewing the surveillance video, the Baltimore City State’s Attorney’s office opted not to pursue criminal charges in the case saying not every conflict warrants them.”
I think I see half the problem here. The other half, family instilled values, is beyond any cure in this generation and likely the generation to come.
Flash mobs have become the new form of rioting — call it “cold rioting” as distinguished from “hot rioting” (a la Rodney King).
Considering from whom this behavior emanates, it’s not unusual. What’s interesting is that it took them so long to think of it — guess we have the internet and social networking to thank for that. Apparently this is a dark side of social networking that no one could have foreseen.
As I said above, not-unexpected behavior. But what IS dismaying is the response of those who are charged to uphold the law:
“After reviewing the surveillance video, the Baltimore City State’s Attorney’s office opted not to pursue criminal charges in the case saying not every conflict warrants them.”
What they are REALLY saying is that if you’re not of the flashmobbin’ persuasion, you have but two options as a victim:
- take it, or...
- leave.
Perhaps there is the “third option” of fighting back or even vigilantism, but those same folks in the district attorney’s office who would do nothing to prosecute the vermin in these escapades would throw every ounce of the law against anyone who dared fight back.
I sense that many Euro-Americans are just goin’ to be “leavin’ it behind”.
Not many flash mobs goin’ on where there are no concentrations of “flashmobbin’ Amish”...
