Mob control is a critical part of warfare and terrorism.
I wonder if these brilliant young people have considered the possibility that they are being manipulated by nefarious forces, though they think they are in control and the “cause” behind the “effect.”
I wonder if you had the fun center surgically removed from your brain....
Someone pulls the strings. There have been riots at some flash mobs.
It also provides a bunch of bodies to “mount a large protest” (even if the sheep don’t know it IS a protest being staged for cameras).
It also provides potential cover (or targets) for a planned terrorist strike.
But everybody ELSE is doing it so by all means, go where some anarchist somewhere says to go at “3:25pm” today...
