Flash mob at a N.W. Jacksonville Walmart.

To test our racial bias, one question. If the exact same group had been white kids, behaving the exact same way, would it be anything other than slightly amusing or a little annoying?

No theft, no destruction, no violence. Almost as if the kids were saying “see, we’re not ALL thugs”.

It would be interesting to find out who originated it, and why.

At some point they will burn down the residential areas and sift through the trash

"They should have locked the doors and called the cops."

BINGO! That was the first thing I thought as I remembered the scene from "Sonny's Bar" in A Bronx Tale. A little of this would go a long way.

This is why Obama pushes free cell phones for his sons. Can’t have a flashmob without good comms.

A test for “community organizing.”

Ok. I ready for the flames. I watched the video.
Let me give you all some background. I am a former State Trooper and now teach at an alternative school. That means my kids are kicked out of regular school for drugs, fighting, etc. Many are on house arrest with that cute ankle bracelet.
Still they are pretty respectful to me.(most of them).
This mob was a little scary to watch at first. I then settled down and actually watched what they were doing. Mainly milling around taking pictures of each other in the store and them wandering out again.
I guarantee if there were the electronic crap they have now when I went to college all the fraternities on campus would be doing this stuff from time to time.
Of course we would be white and that seems to be the difference.
I am pretty old. Remember “greasers”. I do. They would hit a place from time to time. They were a lot more intimidating than this “mob”. Sometimes much more violent also.
I was trained in a time when people were a little more rational and I guess I use that to filter what is going on.
If you act like you are scared, guess what? Your fears come true.
You cannot show you are intimidated. The video in my opinion just showed a crap load of kids acting goofy which is what kids do. If I had seen anything else I assure you I would feel like some posters do.
Sorry I didn't see any African mob scene from a Tarzan movie.
I remember Katrina. Watch those videos. I used to live in New Orleans. I saw the vids. of NOPD ( new Orleans Police) looting stores. Now that was a mob.

Be sure to read the comments on the YouTube page.

One other quick note added to above post.
Like I said earlier if we had that stuff we would be flash mobbing places except we would be in togas or grass skirts depending on the type of party and we would be DRUNK.

A Bronx Tale - the Movie

[Trailerpark Badass]

Well, that's good and all, except for the fact that dozens of these incidents have been reported in the past year or two, in various cities, and most have ended with mass theft, and some have ended with employees being being beaten.

The fact that this one, from your description, was relatively innocuous in its outcome doeesn't mean much.

“Nothing was stolen” Are you really sure?

[LibsRJerks]

Incidents like this need to result in an immediate lockdown of the store, and security forces brought in to catch these people, then register them as “flash mobbers.” From then on, all rights to shopping or being in public areas should be restricted. You’re a flash mob participant? Then you don’t get to go back into these stores for six months, or however long.

Our society has NO idea how to get tough on ANYONE anymore ...except, of course, 99 year-old diapered ladies in wheelchairs.

Of course, “flash mob” security will drive the price of goods for the rest of us.

Maybe I missed something, but I didn't see them doing anything "wrong."

[prof.h.mandingo]

It means you need to post a video that shows mass theft etc.
Posting this one does not help your thesis. I am well aware of what is happening in some parts of the country.
It seems you did not watch the video. I suggest you watch it,compare it to others and then see what you think. Don't take someones word for it. BTW I have seen some of the videos from mobs out of control. MY only point was this wasn't one.
If we continue to post any scene like the one in this video it actually HURTS WHAT IS TRYING TO BE SAID. That being, flash mobs are out of control.
We appear to be scared lunatic fringe when we post willy nilly.
You missed the entire point of my post. The “outcome” means everything. If you want to persuade a rational person to your way of thinking (ie. black flash mobs are out of control and represent a danger) you better post a better example than the one posted.

Waiting for dingbat Celine Dion to weigh in.

I'll bet almost none of these feral youts have a job. Nor would they be employable in almost any job - if they even wanted one, which they probably don't. They have been raised and nurtured in broken "families" courtesy of our tax dollars and "good intentions". They are good for nothing but indescriminate breeding and being used by somebody as a mob.

This is what 50 years of Democrat Plantation Rule hath wrought, orchestrated by Massa LBJ's Great Society and Liberal politicians buying votes with our money. It's ruination, paid for by us with monies borrowed from Communist China.

This mob was just waiting for any incident to run out of control into major looting and violence. You and your family don't want to be anywhere near them when this happens. Even armed and with a CCW permit, you can't carry enough ammo to protect yourself. If you had to protect yourself, after the inital shock of the gunfire, you would be quickly swarmed and murdered.

Race relations are off the tracks in America and being actively encouraged by the Democrats and the Obama Administration who see it as a vehicle to control and success. Their policies have produced millions of ferals who hate white people and civilized behavior. These barbarians have no conscience or culture to restrain them from doing great evil to anybody they perceive in the way of what is owed them and acting out on their perceived grievances. It's pretty obvious whites and what they own are the favored targets of their programmed racism, envy, and rage.

If you are unfortunate to be caught in a mob like this, that giggling levity you hear means you are in imminent danger of being assaulted and stomped to death. Just for fun, of course. That laughter and gaity may be the last thing you hear before the first sucker punch catches you and they start using your head as a football. If for some reason you live, you will never be the same again.

No, they are not. The article on this at Drudge clearly states they destroyed the security scanner and merchandise. http://www.news4jax.com/news/Flash-mob-causes-havoc-at-Walmart/-/475880/15568130/-/vt1vdlz/-/index.html

Umm, yes it does. It is precisely the difference between lawlessness and anarchy.

[prof.h.mandingo]

It did take me a few seconds of watching it to determine “intent” from the bunch of kids. It was quickly obvious they were just there to goof off and have a good time.
I am sorry you misread my earlier post. I didn’t seem anything wrong either.
