On Tuesday night, a flash mob of some 40 to 50 teenagers invaded the busiest and most tourist-centric part of Hollywood, smashing windows, stealing cellphones, and assaulting passersby. The police described the incident as a rolling crime wave. One police official said that the George Zimmerman acquittal provided the flash point excuse for the flash mob. Theyre using Trayvon as an excuse, the official said to local media. They were saying, Lets go mess up Hollywood for Trayvon. The incident began when 911 dispatchers began getting calls about trouble on Hollywood and Vine, including young people running through traffic, bowling people over, and grabbing their purses and cell phones. The hoodlums robbed local stores as they charged down Hollywood Blvd. One took a cash register. They kept moving from location to location, said Officer Christopher No. According to LAPD Commander Andy Smith, the group coordinated beforehand via social media, believing that police presence was distracted by the anti-George Zimmerman protests in Crenshaw. What were thinking is these youngsters took advantage of our redeployment of officers down to the Crenshaw District last night and decided that this would be a good night to come up to Hollywood and act a little crazy, said Smith. Overall, the police arrested 12 people, 11 of them juveniles. The police are currently investigating surveillance video to find the rest of the suspects. Video appears to show more than one of the mob wearing hoodies.

LETS GO MESS UP HOLLYWOOD
LOL, Where you been , LOL
Can someone please give these nice folks a "map to the stars" and circle Jane Fonda, Barbara Streisand, Matt Damon and Sean Penn's homes?
Makes perfect sense.
“Let’s go loot Hollywood, to demonstrate against the problem of criminally profiling blacks like Trayvon.”
Got it?
The police scouring social media for clues is critical here. In the meantime, BOYCOTT HOLLYWOOD.
LOVE the headbands! #badass
Nice!
Is that thing even real? Looks like a Tec-9's odd-ball cousin.
When the rioters scream.. “This is for Trayvon!”
The Koreans will then scream.. “This is for George!”
BANG!
“One police official said that the George Zimmerman acquittal provided the flash point excuse for the flash mob.”
Bullshat! These were always crooks and vandals. They wanted media cover, not an excuse.
Looks to me like a hot-air desoldering tool for ball-grid array chip packages.
i think the 30 round mag is missing ,LOL
I love the headbands too. I think it was a way to show that they were warriors and protectors. Very inspiring pictures.
Store owner “Wi Aim Straight” wont warn you twice.
LOL! Didn’t Hyeta and the Science Patrol carry those?
Ferel youth. Correct them, or incarcerate them. Either way, a beat-down is a minimum.
