4 is not much of a sample size, if you know anything about statistics
Actually, a major part of my job is the extraction, compilation and statistical analysis of data. I understand statistics better than most people (though not as well as some) It is critical that I analyze and vet data before I deliver it to those who need it to base their decisions on.
Statistically speaking, I have seen four separate incidents where video was available, and my observations are 100% accurate. The sample size is low, but as I readily state, I would like for anyone (including you) to send me links that show even a mixed race crowd engaging in this behavior.
I have only seen four airliners hijacked and deliberately flown into the ground or buildings, killing all passengers and many others. I don’t have a problem with a low sample size there in determining that muslim extremists are more likely than anyone else to engage in that type of behavior. I wish my country would take the same outlook...
Not all flash mobs are dangerous, felonious or violent. And not all black people engage in violent flash mobs. But I stand by my observation because my eyes do not lie, and neither does the context or circumstances. I readily admit that my observation could be skewed, that only surveillance video with black mobs makes it to the Internet, or that this could be happening with white crowds but the areas have less surveillance video, and so on.
But until I can see at least one surveillance video showing white or even latino groups barging into a convenience store, throwing stools at the guy behind the counter, smashing things, knocking items off shelves and filling their arms with goods, then I have to reach the conclusions that I have. To do anything else and pretend otherwise is foolish, self-deluding and dangerous politically correct behavior.
To be honest, I would gladly be able to have something that makes my observations in the nature of these flash mobs less than a monolithic 100%.
And, there are two additional points I want to make:
1.) I take no pleasure in observing these facts
2.) The sanitizing of the salient facts by the media (where I have actually even seen a media report) via the mechanism of deliberate omission is nearly as disturbing to me as the events themselves.
