How many people participating in these “events” can use Excel, Word, Powerpoint? How many of them speak English correctly (and I don’t just mean blacks)?

Don't know , but I garanty they are past masters at Grand theft Auto and World of Warcraft videogames. What have we done to our schools?

Sommers:  "All these young people have nothing to do but to head downtown and 
           beat up a 58 year old guy minding his own business in the park,"
Article: "Sommers wants to be part of the solution." 
Sommers: "It's going to motivate me to find other ways to get people engaged and 
          thinking differently than the way they were thinking that night," 

Sommer can never be part of "the solution" while his way of thinking is part of "the problem."

If you want "the solution" Mr. Sommer, start thinking of "Cool Hand Luke" chain gangs as the "other way" to get those "young people" with "nothing to do" but crime more "engaged."

Those are just distractions from the fact that many of them have no future or role in a global economy. In the past they’d find work as semi-skilled labor or for the government, but massive immigration and budget cuts have removed those avenues to the middle class.

Nobody wants to be honest with them about their prospects, so they remain oblivious (unlike their European counterparts, who are much more politically engaged).

Very eloquent. I thought it was a famous quote for a moment but Google says no.

There are at least two sides to this story and the one that will receive the least attention is police malfeasance. While they run radar, conduct East German style checkpoints for (wait for it) seat belt use, sit outside bars waiting for someone, anyone, to exceed an artificially low limit of so-called ‘drunk driving’ and take their, er, hard-working K-9 unit to another PR appearance, the actual job of keeping the populace safe - especially from premeditated, coordinated violence - is ignored.

Every incident that passes unopposed and fails to be prosecuted simply emboldens the rabble.

Some places want their law enforcement to ignore flagrant violations, because the rabble are the only consumers stopping by (some NJ shore towns are like this - any business is better than no business at all). Others clamp down on it, knowing the real money doesn’t come from this trash but from those who have no desire to see them at all.

Yeah, it’s just that these young people have nothing else to do. A lack of activities.


Now if they only had a job or meaningful work to do so as to provide the money to buy shelter/food/clothing. But they don’t.... Maybe it’s all part of someone’s plan?

PS - two cops in, er, spandex riding their widdle bikes is not exactly a 'presence.'

A few well placed shots would scatter this mob. I will not take a beatdown from feral "yutes"......

The sure-fire solution to criminal flash mobs - and possibly also the "need" for illegal aliens - that I'm talking about:

We should import the Chinese police and have them deal with the little miscreants.

Not to mention that whatever menial jobs could be out there for them, the odds get reduced that they’d be considered for them because their actions lend credence to the idea that they’d help themselves to my merchandise.

They could never match the work ethic of desperate Latinos who come from places where the sink & toilet are one & the same; they’d show up late, leave early, send texts all day (is there anything more annoying than toll collectors using cell phones?)...

“What have we done to our schools”

Turned them into the academic version of country clubs and turned the priority to socialization instead of learning anything useful.

These feral yutes need to be taught some manners. Some time...some place that will happen.

The participants in these flash mobs will think twice when one of their intended victims mows some of them down with a spray of hot lead. Someday it`s going to happen.

Watch for 0bama-inspired flash mobs descending on polling places on election day 2012.

This will not stop until somebody takes down 3 or 4 of these mobsters.

Until there are consequences, this will continue.
