Need help. Doing a project to bring more attention to, and call for action against the new fad of flash mobs around the country. I need any link of a news story this year of incidents. I know there have been such incidents in Chicago, Las Vegas, Philadelphia, New York, Peoria and other place. What I need are news links to each of these stories. If you have them, please post to this thread.
Not just an original link, but any and all follow -up links on the same incident. It's time to bring public awareness to this problem.
There was also the incident (I can't remember where) where a police officer was under investigation for warning a citizen which areas of town to avoid. If anyone has that story, please send it as well. Thank you.
Flash Mobs: The perfect justification for high capacity magazines
I had no idea what these things were until a cellphone providers commercial.
seems to me, to be a bunch of horses a$$e$.....and possibly likened to terrorists.
...and full auto.
I warned probably two years ago that these need to be taken seriously and could pose a serious threat. I was ridicule even by Freepers that it was “just harmless fun.”
I tried to warn people that they may well be used by terrorists either to draw a crowd to an area to attack them or to create a diversion to attack elsewhere.
Check the current Drudge headlines. They are now being used primarily by young black criminals (boys and girls) to meet en masse and loot stores.
One of these days and pretty soon someone with a few hi cap mags and a tool that does a high speed delivery service of FMJ objects will be waiting for one of these flash mobs.
And then what, they too also become armed?
I swear this is all being manufactured by ACORN to be used by Obama.
It is the Urban Spring - Obama Mobs - Watch out for Obama Mobs at Poling Places in 2012.
Flash mobs have been going on for years with the New Orleans youths, but they called them riots. Try searching on that.
If you go to news.google.com/archivesearch you’ll see how often it appears in the news. It appears in the news more times in the first 6 months of 2011 than all of 2010.
Go to the Drudge Report and look through the archives. He’s headlined just about every one of them including the one about the cop getting in trouble.
Happiness is a belt fed weapon.
Police investigate Riverwest robberies, doubt ‘mob’ reports

There are several links in that thread.
Happiness is two belt-fed weapons arranged to make an “L” shaped kill zone.
Use the Drudge archives. Lots of articles there. Check Memorial Day for a bunch.

Also search Google News for Flash Mob and Mob Attack
The next Bernhard Goetz is somewhere out there right now.
The bottom line is that these days you have to be a TOTAL IDIOT to go into a city center for a public event. Just STAY OUT and go to Tea Party events in the burbs.
I was surprised to see that a flash mob had descended in CCW friendly Wisconsin.
