A pack of 30 teens helped themselves to items in a Maryland 7-Eleven early Sunday morning in what authorities have labeled another instance of a possible flash mob.
The store, which is located in Germantown, Md., was empty at 2 a.m. Sunday morning when a group of teenagers calmly walked in and picked out items as though they were shopping. Then, just as calmly as they entered the store, police say, they exited without paying for the items.
A surveillance video from the store obtained by FoxNews.com shows a large group of teens taking candy and other snacks. They appear quiet during the incident and some appear to cover their faces with their shirts in an apparent attempt to avoid identification.
“As criminals go, they were pretty neat,” Howard Hersh, a spokesman from the Montgomery County police. “There were no injuries and they didn’t ransack the store.”

I guessed right.
Very important that in all of these incidents find the criminals. And make it known on the news. Or they will get bolder and bolder
Oh! Those Wacky Amish!
Test run for British style riots by the social parasite class.
The Brothers and Sisters are very busy these days.

Gee, ya think that was the reason?
Once the entered, the cops should have been called. They have the obama disease - TFO = take from others
Gosh, what a surprise.
Technological Darwinism.
It seems to me that many states have laws on their books against mob violence and criminal acts. Originally made to prosecute the KKK, lynch mobs, and later criminal gangs, many I imagine were written in such a way as could be applied to flash mobs.
This is a completely different approach that trying to prosecute a flash mob individually for shoplifting. And the penalties for mob violence can be severe.
All it takes is a willing State prosecutor. And in the meantime, there is no reason that States could not create new laws against such flash mobs, specifically tailored to slap down such events hard.
