UPPER DARBY, Pa. - As police in Upper Darby, Pa., search for more young people involved in last week's flash mob, more adults are thinking about arming themselves with guns.

People are talking about how afraid they are of being caught in the path one of these flash mobs while they're out minding their own business, and they want to be ready.

Law enforcement officials say it's a nightmare in the making because ordinary, private citizens are getting gun permits.

"We have people now that are fearful and carrying guns because of children. How sad is that?" Upper Darby police Captain George Rhoades said.

He said it's all legal.

"It's all self-defense," Rhoades said.

He says about 10 to 20 applications are processed every week in Upper Darby.

Rhoades says with that many people "carrying" and the violent actions of these flash mobs, the worst is bound to happen.

"Now we have this mentality, 'I'm not going to retreat. I'm not going to call 9-1-1. I'm going to be a vigilante and take care of the problem myself,'" he said.

That means flash mob children could be dead, and the would-be victims may have the right, but Rhoades is appealing to everybody to think twice.

Yeah, "Police Captain Rhoades" is a classic example of how "police officials," as opposed to police officers, have become diseased political eunuchs, unfit for office. This moron is too stupid even to understand the problem. He will get innocent people killed as a result.

My three grown kids just went down to Florida to visit their grandfather. He has lots and lots of guns and bows and arrows and even spears. Does a lot of hunting and competitions. My 27 year old daughter said if things get bad, she knows where she is going!

[hinckley buzzard]

I talked with a doctor who worked in a DC trauma unit about this, some years ago. She described how young teens would kill each other with aplomb. In one case, the killer was easily found because after killing the victim he went to McDonald's and was apprehended sitting there calmly eating some fries.

This is Obama's America, people.

Non-lethal?!?!
Then you just have to do it all over again!
WTH?

[wita]

Why can’t the cops protect us?

Wait, there’d be too many.

...and they would still be looking
after number one.

[Renegade]

Personal taser a no no in Pa. Bullets OK!

[Joe Boucher]

sorry freedumb2003,
My Kimber doesn’t hold any freaken “rubber bullets”. Only .45’s with full metal jackets
And I can guarantee you if I was somewhere and a mob of thugs came at me for a beating I would not go looking for any bean bags either.

[Grizzled Bear]

You almost had me going with this one! It’s a real knee slapper!

(Please tell me this is one of yours!)

[hinckley buzzard]

Many have concluded that Obama will resort to instigating race war. These packs of criminal filth may be the advance recon and raiding parties.

"That means flash mob children could be dead"....OH NO!!

Here we go! Vicious citizens defending themselves and their families are labeled baby killers!

Thank you, Eric H0lder. Any blood is on your hands and 0b0z0’s hooves.

Dan, I would like to offer this up to you if you will take a minute to read it. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2767118/posts Everyone MUST understand that those that comprise the flashmobs are not afraid of jail, police, momma, or armed citizens. Revenge is their lexicon... ************************************************

OK, I read it and also read that none of the victims offered any credible resistance. I have dealt with a mob on 2 different occasions in my life and neither time did the punks have any stomach for the surrender of their life. At the moment, these mobs exist because the police and the courts offer no threat to them.

Captain Rhoades doesn't give a damn if a ghetto thug/thugs gets dropped. What he does care about is how to contain/cover up/explain the spasm of black violence that is sure to result when some “chilrens” get their reward for being a thug

[Born to Conserve]

Where do we get permits for claymore mines? That’s what’s called for.

[melancholy]

They are trainee Brown Shirts who will graduate before the coming summer just at the right time to scare Whitey in staying home.

[BlowNegative]

A bullet is the only logic a punk can understand. Saves time trying to turn them around unless you only hit them in the shoulder.

“That means flash mob children could be dead...”

When flash mob ‘children’ are knocking people down and kicking their heads in, what, exactly, do they deserve?

[USFRIENDINVICTORIA]

Modern police departments have spent hundreds of millions of dollars on advanced communications systems. This has allowed their patrol divisions to appear en masse wherever they're needed. In a flash, as it were. The police were thus able to overpower almost any adversary.

Street thugs now possess their own advanced communications systems -- thus enabling the formation of flash mobs.

Police forces have lost their most important competitive advantage. Flash mobs are a formidable threat to order and security.

[RandallFlagg]

Serious quetion here. If a huge mob is coming at you and you are armed to the teeth what is legally allowed?

Two to center mass (The chest area), and one to the head if they keep coming.
That's what I was trained.

[PapaBear3625]

If the police were taking care of the problem, then we wouldn't have a problem, and that's the problem.

When people get afraid, police hope for higher budgets. When people realize that crime will go down if more civilians have CCW and more criminals get shot, then that's bad for police budgets.
