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.

I guess I am out of luck again. Waiting for this to happen in well armed Richmond VA.
“It would be fun to hear about the aftermath of one of these in Texas.”
It would be Holder’s gun control dream! Look what he was able to do with the Zimmerman “white” on “innocent” black case!
Well, those Amish have been fractious of late.
amen to that. i’ve had enough of being pushed around.
This is mob mentality at it’s basic. Just like a pack of dogs. Even decent house dogs, but get them running with a pack of wild dogs and they will run down and kill a deer pretty quick.
And be back the following evening. When I was growing up it was (and probably still is) legal to shoot dogs running wild in a pack. Even Fido with his collar on.
Just saying.
Oh - forgot. These bash mobs could be sustained for a much longer time than a good-old fashioned riot.
Never had any race riots in Texas? That would be fun, to hear about. Explain away, cuban leaf.
only as far as the metro takes them.
“one of these in Texas”
Austin would not surprise me.
> The government could quickly shut this stuff down by turning off all Obama Phones.
LOL
Been going on in Bowbamaville, err, Chicago, for some time now. Especially, along the Magnificent Mile.
Note to self: Add another two backup magazines when going out in public.
Evidently, this didn’t go off today. The police were ready for them. So it will come when the cops ain’t looking.
Washington D.C. or the state of Washington?
‘Groes Gone Wild
Same here. Way up and out in the boonies/mountains. Only thing moving and black here are the Bears!!

Thanks to t total Libtard controlled government, in California the LEO is more likely to have rubber buckshot than grape shot.
Go armed and dangerous.
