Officials in Long Beach, California are warning residents about a potential “bash mob” possibly planned for Friday afternoon.

Bash mobs are unruly crowds that group together to race through streets committing petty crimes such as assault and property damage, reports CBS LA. One of these mobs happened in downtown Long Beach on July 9, and investigators discovered another one planned for 2 p.m. today, July 19.

“The Long Beach Police Department takes this issue very seriously and will be prepared to arrest anyone whose intent is to commit criminal acts,” Long Beach Police Sgt. Aaron Eaton said. “We will continue to support everyone’s right to free speech and assembly. However, the police must also protect the safety of those victims targeted by these ‘bash mobs.”‘

a “petty crime” such as assault is what got Trayvon killed.

Well Dear leader did come out today and remind us what a racist nation we are.

The NSA should be able to pinpoint the BASH mob location.

Then truck a couple hundred dockworkers there and tell them they have total immunity.

Then make the popcorn.

There was a reason we sold, and left Long Beach in 1987. It was not looking good for the future there.

ace through streets committing petty crimes such as assault and property damage

That is not so petty around here. It can get one killed. Too bad folks in CA are more focused on creating a law banning lead in ammo than enforcing existing laws.

i’m assuming the culprits will be tea partiers.

"We will continue to support everyone’s right to free speech and assembly." RKBA not so much.

[Cheerio]

Bring it on - my neighborhood will take care of itself.

[G Larry]

This only happens in “gun free zones”....

I profile. I made a game of it and enjoy it. If you don’t profile, then you are dumb and just waiting to become a victim.

sloppy, dreds, tattoos or tats, pants down to bottom of butt black teenagers and 20ishes are very dangerous. period. Same with whites, hispanics or asians that are thugging around like that.

I don’t worry when I see a clean cut and well dressed black teenager or adult. Call me a mean ugly profiler, I don’t care. It is situational awareness.

[Bryanw92]

35 years ago, Obama would have been in one of those mobs so don’t you Crackers dare bash back!

Just Us! Just Us!

[MaxMax]

Blacks profile whites all the time for robbery and murder.
I profile everybody anyway.

[Chainsawj]

and the amish

[spawn44]

That be a crime, oh I forgot, they black.

[popdonnelly]

The biggest problem facing this country is white racism. /sarcasm

[struggle]

They don’t want any resistance so they’ll go raid Leisure World.

[elkfersupper]

I profile everybody anyway.

Former FReeper Squantos had a tag line something like "Be polite, be calm, but have a plan to kill everyone you meet".

Pretty soon in California you receive a stiffer penalty for polluting someones body with a lead bullet than for the actual act of shooting them. Oh, if you’re White.
