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.

Accompanying news report from news4jax.com:

However, the Wal-Mart off Lem Turner Road in Jacksonville fell victim to a flash robbery when more than 300 people entered the store and destroyed the security system as well as some merchandise.

According to the police report, the group destroyed an electronic anti-shop lifting security scanner that costs about $1,500. The police report also stated the massive crowd could have arrived at the store after a party that was broken up on Sampson Road.

YouTube video showed the teens throwing food and merchandise around the store.

You have your experience, I have mine.

I'm sure yours works well to help you navigate moddern life. So does mine.

Looks like the Chess Club blowing off a little steam got out of hand. Maybe the club president can identify the miscreant who ruined an afternoon of innocent fun for the rest of those achievers and solid citizens.
