Questions Arise Over Whether 'Flash Mob' Attacks in U.S. Cities Motivated by Race
Fox News ^ | 8/10/2011 | fox news

Posted on 08/10/2011 3:44:31 PM PDT by tobyhill

Police departments in several cities around the country are investigating what appear to be incidents of "flash mob"-generated violence, in which packs of dozens or even hundreds of youths appear seemingly out of nowhere to commit assaults, robberies and other crimes against innocent bystanders.

The motive and circumstances surrounding the attacks that have resulted in numerous arrests around the country are being investigated -- and law enforcement officials in at least one city are looking into a possible racial component to the crimes.

Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter, who recently imposed a stricter curfew in response to the city's latest attack, addressed black youths directly from the pulpit of his church on Sunday, reportedly saying, “You have damaged your own race.”

"If you want …anybody else to respect you and not be afraid when they see you walking down the street, then leave the innocent people who are walking down the street minding their own damn business. Leave them alone," Nutter told a mostly black congregation at Mount Carmel Baptist Church in West Philadelphia, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Actually, I was speaking to only the street mobs who are proliferating the streets of communities in violent and destructive mobs and robberies to the tune of one or two mobs a week. They’re testing the waters with black children to see how Americans are going to react. Next will come out the adults, much like what is happening in the UK as we speak. It’s just a matter of time. AND even tho it’s organized by white elites you won’t find them on the streets themselves.

The Wisconsin protesters were unionists and teachers a good half of whom were bussed in from out of state for the ‘cause.’

Some of those younger teachers looked like they’d been “bussed” an awful lot and were ready for more.

>>Exactly what is the question? Is it blacks doing this? Is that what they’re trying to figure out?<<

I am wondering exactly what it was that prompted them to commit the attacks. Were they prodded by an adult Black? Probably so, but why? To get the local police forces ready for what’s coming or what?

I recall a large group of black kids tearing up a 7-11 or ARCO MiniMart when we were in Las Vegas earlie this year. It is such hypocrisy that many of these stories go under reported by the MSM.

Thank you Mayor Nutter, for giving the PC-whipped MSM permission to discuss this topic.

This is one of those rare areas in which I have actually experienced being attacked by what could rightfully be called a flash mob. This was over 40 years ago.
They were in a car which blocked my car. There was no connection between me and them at all except I was White and had my date in the car and all 9 of them were Black.

I think they are far more cunning than appears on the surface. The fact that I was driving a little English Ford Cortina and they were in a large Pontiac Convertible was just the first sign of unequal power.

As soon as one of them saw me going for my gun, he yelled a warning to the others and they all immediately got back in their car and drove off.

Much like a pack of wolves, they select an easy victim. If they see they made a mistake, they try something easier.

Now if they had been absolutely determined to kill us, I have no doubt they would have succeeded as it would have taken me some time to get the Browning Hi-Power out of the pistol rug which Browning used to supply with their pistols.

But I would guess that Clowerd-piven, as a leftist plot, requires chaotic uprisings of brainwashed lower-class populations who think they can blame their violent behavior on what they think is oppression by “the rich.”

Why do I doubt that the kind of people doing the attacks would be in church on Sunday?

You got it and as I predicted early this evening, it could be one such incident that could get the word out in a BIG way.

Next time it is determined that the people are being bussed in for an illegal action, wouldn't it be easiest to impound the buses while the people are away from them, protesting?

Because I would be the last to suggest that anything illegal be done *to* these people, like slashing their bus tires.

Let's keep it on the up and up.

Cheers!

When somebody who is white winds up killing his attackers, will that be about race?

Maybe so that those who DO attend that church would get the word across to the trouble makers could very well be related to the ones or who would know them to warn them to stop the trouble making.

I'm thinking that Cloward-Piven applies in that the flash mobs are overwhelming the ability of law enforcement to do their jobs.

Too many people to stop and arrest. They are in, rob, and out again before the police can arrive. And any police that are there will not be able to stop 50-100 people intent on robbing and punching indiscriminately.

That's what Cloward-Piven is about: overwhelming a system beyonds its capacity to function, so as to force its collapse.

What I was just saying is that, if the attackers pick on a person who is armed via CCW. Their fist mistake would be their last.

“Because this is the way white elitist commiecrats have used black Americans since before even the War Between the States.”

Could you elaborate upon this?

Pretending, placating and coddling is why we are where we are.

Enough!
