Organized "bash mob" crime rampages of roving groups attacking innocent people and businesses have been striking cities around the United States. Law enforcement agencies in Southern California have reported few similar problems -- until now.
In the last several days, there have been several reports of such group crime waves in South L.A., Hollywood, San Bernardino and Victorville. Long Beach police are bracing for another one Friday.
These so-called bash mobs of "flash mob" crime waves are organized through social media and have been a problem in Chicago, Philadelphia and Washington. In April, 28 Chicago youths were arrested on suspicion of attacking pedestrians along the city's famed Magnificent Mile. Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn signed legislation in May enacting stiffer penalties for people who text or use social media to organize mob attacks.
Long Beach police warned in a statement that participants could face severe penalties.
"The mere participation in such an event can result in felony charges including conspiracy, and are punishable by imprisonment in the state prison," according to the statement.
Police said they feared bash mob organizers planned to hit Long Beach at 2 p.m.

Bash’s fault!
Unfortunately, they seem to be expanding out of the hood.
Malls, mostly. Gotta get some new Nikes.
As a member of the slow thinkers club ... took me a minute. LOL!
“Stay out of the ‘hood. “
With cell phones, smart phones, and a leader or two, these “roving bands of yoot” are moving considerably out of “the hood”.
And today 0bama asked if a black person might shoot a person who was following them. Rhetorically.
These animals need to be put down!
Uh huh.
And any white victim who doesn't lay back and enjoy his beatdown -- any white victim with a concealed carry license who engages in legitimate self defense -- will be severely punished and mocked in the national media.
The purpose of mass transit.
I am soooo glad I don’t live in a city.
The entire msm will have blood on their hands, along with the usual race baitors. No one should assume that this time around people are just going to stand by and take it.
Bush Mobs? I must have misread. Bush’s fault anyway!
Not a word from Soetoro about urban crime mobs only how little old white ladies shouldn’t be allowed to lock their doors - they might offend a playa.
Kristalnacht by another name.
They’re outta’ the hood. They were in Hollywood Blvd 2 nights ago. They’re not bash mobs but black mobs who hate whitey.
Felony charges, Conspiracy, Imprisonment. Well, we’ll just see what Holder has to say about that!
In CA? Few have carry permits, though many carry.
“Bush Mobs”/bash mobs
No Limit types can’t spell?
