Flash mob causes havoc at Walmart
news4jax.com ^ | July 17,2012

Flash mobs are known across the United Stats as a group of people, dancing, having fun and enjoying themselves while entertaining others.

However, the Wal-Mart off Lem Turner Road in Jacksonville fell victim to a flash robbery when more than 300 people entered the store and destroyed the security system as well as some merchandise.

According to the police report, the group destroyed an electronic anti-shop lifting security scanner that costs about $1,500. The police report also stated the massive crowd could have arrived at the store after a party that was broken up on Sampson Road.

YouTube video showed the teens throwing food and merchandise around the store.

Channel 4's Crime Analyst Ken Jefferson said any sort of crime where there's hundreds of people involved is a dangerous situation.

"You've got a large number of people going and coming at the same time they are throwing produce," said Jefferson. "They are stealing items, they are all over the store. You can imagine how fearful the customers were who were in there at that particular time."

Police did not make any arrests after the mob of people took over the store. If caught, these teens could face criminal charges.

You’re allowed. They’re blacks stealing.

Flash mobs will soon be one of the "occupations" eligible for welfare payments under Obama's waiving of real work requirements.

Speaking of proof...

Of course, these are just ‘isolated’ and ‘uncoordinated’ events which just involved ‘teens’ having a little fun.

Yes, I also was unable to get to comments.

It took a while for the comments to show up for me, and many look like FReeper replies. Looks like there were verbal fights between the makers and the takers.

If Obama had a son, he’d look like one of the boys in this video.

After about 1000 total rounds, one misfeed with speer HPs. It was the penultimate round coming up the stack which struck the partially extracted casing. Usually use Corbons 90 grains HPs or Hornady DPXs.

Too bad President Robin d'Hood wasn't there to lead his homies during their rampage.

Funny how a lot of them looked like his sons (if he had those).

Walmart is bigger than that. Likewise, there are times and places for bounties, but this isn’t one, other than providing police any surviving surveillance information.

And in the final analysis, the corporation now faces a nationwide threat against similar raids. So taking down those who raided will do little good. They must make preparations to deal with the next raid.

I fear a nationwide flash mob, if Hussein loses the election.
That's the wrong thing to fear. That's what they want you to fear. That's the whole point of Obama's Trayvon "if I had a son" remark. To encourage these roving bands of street thugs and to get you to fear voting against their overlord, Father Barak.

The REAL thing to fear is 4 more years of Obama.

If Obama loses the election, yes, there might be some anger in the streets. But let's face it, these people are a) extremely stupid, b) possessed of extremely low attention spans. A couple of good smackdowns by some local authorities, the release of a new $300 running shoe that will get them all murdering each other to be first in line for, or just the general drift of their tiny underdeveloped brains to other things, and they will forget Father Barak in due time.

But if Father Barak is re-elected, watch out.

Father Barak, along with Supreme Court Justice Eric Holder, is going to release these people from any inhibitions they now currently have.

They will actively and openly burn down our country under the Loving Leadership of Father Barak and Uncle Eric.

THAT'S what you should fear.

THAT'S what you should work to prevent.
