Chicago suburb cancels Armed Forces Carnival after ‘flash mob’ of 400 teens devolves into fights, chaos
Fox News ^ | 5/22/23 | Stephen Sorace

A "flash mob" of about 400 teenagers descended on a suburb outside of Chicago during the Armed Forces Carnival on Saturday and began fighting with each other, forcing the event’s cancellation, officials said.

The mayhem broke out in suburban Tinley Park after the hundreds of teenagers responded to a call on social media to gather at the carnival at the 80th Avenue train station and began running around the parking lot fighting with each other to "cause chaos and disrupt the event," town officials said. A Facebook post from the village on Sunday said the last day of the event was "cancelled due to safety concerns stemming from a flash mob incident at Saturday’s event."

Video posted to social media shows the mob of teenagers jumping on cars, running through parking lots and brawling as police attempt to break up the fights.

Oh, don’t give us none of your aggravation
We had it with your discipline
Oh, Saturday night’s alright for fighting
Get a little action in
Get about as oiled as a diesel train
Gonna set this dance alight
‘Cause Saturday night’s the night I like
Saturday night’s alright, alright, alright, ooh

These kids are totally out of control. Their parents won’t take responsibility, their schools stink, and the politicians believe we should feel sorry for them.

Our stinking Administration in Washington thinks these kids should move out to your suburb.

I bet the only reason they acted out is because the evil white people wouldn’t give them reparations

This is really interesting. I have seen flash mobs where people take out their well-disguised musical instruments and start playing music. Soon people are dancing or singing, and everyone has a good time.

Then some flash mobs involve violence and mayhem. Why the difference?

It’s funny we are allowed to say they are teens, but aren’t allowed to say they are black teens.

We are allowed to say teens, referring to the apparent age of them, but aren’t allowed to talk of any other characteristics of the miscreants.

Should take a page out of the gun control mob book. Punish all teens for the actions of a few. Make it illegal for anyone under 21 to own a social media app or engage in any social media activity. Or just confiscate all smart phones from them.

Yes does “teens” refer to 18 & 19 year old adults, or 13 year olds with no parental supervision?

“Teens” is just a code word to hide the truth.

…because disrupting a carnival with violence will make each and every one of their lives SO much better, full of meaning and purpose..
