I’m not sure someone is funding them, but someone (probably some DC-connected “community organizer”) has got to be organizing them. Who sends out the first tweet announcing a mob action? Where do the marching orders come from?
It doesn’t take a lot of work to launch a mob, and after the first few tweets take off and the thugs communicate with each other, it probably moves ahead on its own, with the lowest elements of the neighborhood stirring up the others.
This shouldn’t be hard to find out if the authorities are serious about stopping it. But maybe they don’t want to find where it leads.
Haven’t you seen the federally funded ads for free cellphones. The Federal Government is funding these ethnic Flash Mobs.
