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.
nice idea
