Flash mobs are known across the United Stats as a group of people, dancing, having fun and enjoying themselves while entertaining others.

However, the Wal-Mart off Lem Turner Road in Jacksonville fell victim to a flash robbery when more than 300 people entered the store and destroyed the security system as well as some merchandise.

According to the police report, the group destroyed an electronic anti-shop lifting security scanner that costs about $1,500. The police report also stated the massive crowd could have arrived at the store after a party that was broken up on Sampson Road.

YouTube video showed the teens throwing food and merchandise around the store.

Channel 4's Crime Analyst Ken Jefferson said any sort of crime where there's hundreds of people involved is a dangerous situation.

"You've got a large number of people going and coming at the same time they are throwing produce," said Jefferson. "They are stealing items, they are all over the store. You can imagine how fearful the customers were who were in there at that particular time."

Police did not make any arrests after the mob of people took over the store. If caught, these teens could face criminal charges.

This is merely a standard pagan ritual of sacrifice to Saint Trayvon. (Please note my tag line).

And now we know where Obama’s radical vision for blacks in America is taking us. Want more of this? Do what you can to keep Obama in office, and enjoy the entertainment, until it comes to your doorstep.

I fear a nationwide flash mob, if Hussein loses the election.

Flash Mobs?

More like Trash Mobs / Grab and Dash Mobs / Trash Robs / Bash Mobs.

We will soon regret this was not stopped sooner.

In Minneapolis, the same "teens" are randomly attacking white people (so it does not reach the level of a crime) and the reaction was to implement a curfew.

Go to YouTube and search for “Flash Mob Walgreens”, “Flash Mob Convenience store”, “Mob beating man” “Brawl at Ihop” and they’ll all show the same thing.

those were just random things I typed into YouTube.

This unreported problem is much much bigger than anyone care to admit, and it’s eventually going to blow up in a worse way anyone can imagine.

I think they were either crazed Latvian or Finnish teenagers high on something.

“Are we allowed to mention the race/ethnicity of the mob?”

I’m from Jax. Lem Turner road is pretty much Amish. I wouldn’t go in that area 20 years ago.

Gee and to think I passed near that place on my way back from the range about that same time yesterday. Probably good did not stop or I guess I’d be the next George Zimmerman since this is in the prosecuting DA’s area of enforcement.

Probably those trouble-making Lithuanians again.

I'm still anticipating the day when one of these crowds of young Obama supporters “flash mob” the wrong establishment and the clerk opens up with a street sweeper semi-automatic riot shotgun....

Try doing a search for flash mob and Hallelujah chorus. Then look at the related videos. The flash mobs she referred to are very entertaining and, even inspiring.

You're right, however, I would say it's now much more than 70% of ferrel kids who do NOT live in intact families, those where the natural father is married to the mother and they live together, and have not combined children from previous relationships. Closer to 80% at the very least. And of those who do come from these intact families, the kids STILL tend to be delinquents, due to peer pressure and the lowered expectations for the culture in general. I work with these types of kids, and I have to say that one of the WORST offenders in my class this past year came from an intact family with an involved father and mother. The kid ended up, on the last day of school, viscously attacking another kid in my room who he did not get along with. He threw him against a desk, splitting the kid's lip, and proceeded to kick him in the back and would not have stopped if he wasn't physically removed by my male aide.

This kid had been suspended repeatedly for provoking and initiating fights on the playground, in the hallway, and in the classroom. He was involved with two others who, in the midst of a fight, pushed my substitute down, causing her to break her upper arm last fall. Much of my time during and after school hours was spent on the phone and in meetings with his (and other's) parents. Our school was cited for too many suspensions. BTW, this is fifth grade we're talking about. The fourth grade was every bit as out of control, and the third graders were not much better. The second graders were angels compared to the other grades.

Yup. Blew off some 9s yesterday through my Glocks and Walther PPS and some 380s from the Bersa.
