Flash Mob Thefts

[BigMatt]

I am not sure this goes here, but I am not sure where it should go.

Have you been hearing about the flash mob thefts going around for the last year? The first I heard of them was this morning, but I guess they have been going on for a while now.

Let them take the sodas. Wait by the register with a shotgun.

This is why we need hi-cap, fast-firing weapons with pistol fore-grips that are excessively heavy and possibly wider than three inches.

With high capacity assault clips.

Look at 1:25 to 1:33 and tell me that isn't a clip from a zombie movie.

If he had a gun with a shoulder thing that goes up he could have stopped that all on his own.

Well, just thinking about it is scary. I don't like the thought of my wife gassing up her car and getting a slushie at the convenience store and getting caught in the middle of something like that.

That's some good social justice right there.

not that it makes it right or anything, but from what the video showed, atleast they werent trying to kill the clerk or threatening him to open the register. they didnt seem bothered by him on the phone calling 911 as they left.

more shocking that the place wasnt really torn up all that much.

kind of glad the clerk missed hitting any of them, if their buddys would of come back i dont think he would be so lucky.

Hmmm....I wonder what will happen if the gov becomes incapable of mailing out welfare payments?
Yep, I really really wonder.

I've been saying this for years... zombies are real. Some want brains, some want welfare... and some just want whatever is in front of them that isn't theirs to take.

Atlas will Shrug.

Not soon enough!

Atlas will Shrug.

Maybe he should flush instead.

These events are happening for a few reasons:

-A % of the population that has been told they are "owed" something in life. They don't have the money to pay for stuff, and the culture of this % of people are pretty much OK with theft, directly or indirectly (ie: Boyfriend steals, gives to kids mom; son steals, buys mom a TV, etc.).

-There is no punishment for simple thefts. The entire system is broken on many fronts. Governments have decided to throw money at other things: Taj Mahal K-12 school spending, subsidizing pro-sports to the tune of billions of dollars, getting involved in things that should be 100% private sector (malls, convention centers, etc.).

I have noticed one trend starting a few years ago: Pack attacks. We are now seeing more and more incidents where there are four or more suspects. These pack attacks can vary from just "fun" to actually wanting to rob the targets. The size of some of these packs are even getting larger in some respects. After pack attacks are these brazen shop-lifting sprees. We actually had a similar one here in Indy not that long ago. Well, I think it was actually in Lawrence. A group of teens, I want to say four to six, went to Walmart, loaded a cart up with stuff, and just ran, full speed to the front doors. They loaded the loot into a mini-van and took off. Cops caught them a short time later.

The racial aspect is there, only because the handful of incidents I have seen about all have one thing in common: Black kids/teens are the suspects. Also, there seems to be reports that most of these individuals are from lower middle class/welfare benefit homes. If that is true, and these incidents start becoming more and more common, watch for a lot of retailers to just shutter the doors and windows. Of course then we will hear about how racist it is to close down stores in or near certain areas. Like we should expect businesses to have to shoulder these loses one or two time a month?

I guess we shall see if this new crime continues or not.
