Teen flash mob strikes again -- this time at Nordstrom

PORTLAND, Ore. -- Police are investigating another flash mob theft by a group of teens, this time at Nordstrom at the Lloyd Center.

Last week, a group of 16 teens converged on a Southeast Portland convenience store and stole merchandise and then ran out. Police are still investigating the incident.

Friday's incident happened just after 8 p.m. Police interviewed employees of the store who said a group of approximately 10 African-American male teenagers were in the store and began taking items and putting them in bags before they ran out the southwest doors of the store toward Northeast 9th Avenue.

Police who checked the area recovered some of the stolen clothing, but did not find the teens, who are ages 13-19 years old and all wearing hats and hoodies with their faces covered.

Cherise Vanhooser, who works at Lloyd Center, wasn't surprised at the incident.

"Kids steal all the time at the Lloyd center," she said. "I mean, I'm constantly dealing with it at work. I know a lot of the other managers are. It's just a constant problem. You always have to have someone on the floor because you can't trust anybody."

Police said they will work with Nordstrom officials to get surveillance video to help their investigation.

Anyone with information about this theft should email information to Portland Police.

When do we decide we've had enough? And what can we do, short of violence on our part, which we're not going to do, because we obey the laws?

Our choice in November is bleak - but the thought of four more years of Obama is horrifying. Just think of what he and his thug Holder will do to the rule of law during a second term.

It wasn’t until the Gun Free School Zones act here that you couldn’t drive by the high school and see at least two firearms in the rifle rack in the back window of every pickup in the parking lot.

I can think of two ways this could stop:

--if black people start confronting these black thugs
--if a few get shot and killed by persons who have had enough of the Holder people lawlessness, then, the survival instinct of even Obama's sons will kick in and they will restrain themselves ... and you can bet the prosectution of George Zimmerman is aimed at squelching response to the thuggery, but it only causes some of us to clean and practice with our tools

Either way, this is Holder's people being what Holder wants as fodder for his racist, destroy America as we knew it agenda. This mobbing was first video taped as full grown 'community organizers' stood by sometimes even holding the quick stop door for the thugs to enter and exit. This racial stupidity is by design, but the herd mentality taught to these fatherless blacks is being exploited now in Odinga/Kenayan thuggery style.

Was told the same but at the same time I pretty much if I ever got in trouble my life was over and would have to enlist in the French Foreign legion and it would have been safer there because my family would have pounded me into dust

We may (sort of) decry such imposition of order a little, but it was that very imposition of order which helped us to learn, grow up, and become Conservatives, despite the hand, brain, and on occasion bottom trauma imposed with rulers and other blunt force trauma delivery systems during our school years.

It sure let you know where the lines were, and it was up to you from there.

The permissiveness of today's school environment would never have been tolerated, and I think the difference is readily apparent to anyone who will look.
