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.

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.

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