Flashmobbery in Philly: 100 Youths Storm Through City Center on Robbery & Assault Rampage
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, June 29, 2011, 6:26 AM
Mob of 100 youths rob and assault restaurant patrons in Philadelphia on Saturday night.
A similar flash mob attack occurred last year in the same area.
Philly.com reported:
The two young women were sitting at a window table inside the Max Brenner restaurant on 15th Street, near Walnut, sharing chocolate fondue after some shopping.
The streets were vibrant. The weather was nice.
“The city had a good vibe,” remembered one of the women, Maria, who requested her full name not be printed.
But their night on the town was about to become frightening.
Heading their way was a pack of teens roving through Center City after leaving a North Philadelphia music festival.
They were part of about 100 or more young people who had left Saturday night’s event, police said, committing a series of violent assaults and robberies, including one against Maria, 25, of North Philadelphia, and her cousin Cecilia, 29, of Havertown…
…About 10 p.m., Maria said, she saw a shirtless teenager run past the restaurant.
“He was running in the middle of the street and looked like he was running away from someone,” she said.
Maria tucked away her phone and wallet, which had been sitting on the table.
She grew up in Brazil, she said, and was more street-smart than her cousin.
Before she could tell Cecilia to put her cell phone away, another teen reached through the window and snatched it.
Maria ran out after him.
She was on the sidewalk, starting to scream “thief,” she said, when someone from behind punched her in the jaw.
She said she turned, jaw throbbing, to see the girl who had hit her standing with five other teens. “What are you going to do?” she said the girl who had punched her yelled.
The teens were laughing, she said. “They were fearless. It seemed like they weren’t taking anything serious.”
Maria ran into another restaurant and called 911.

Just wait and see what happens when one of these punks gets hurt or killed..thats what they are waiting for..then it will be an all out riot.
Mannie commented:
Shoot a couple of the MoFos. Let them riot. Unfortunately, we won’t deal with the rioters appropriately – with napalm.
RedBeard commented:
Mayor Nutter. How appropriate.

Time for some retroactive birth control. These animals will kill what is left the city before the summer is half over.

This is proof that law enforcement can’t protect you all of the time!!! It is better to be propered all of the tme , than being unpropered one time. It may cost your life!!! This kind of event legitimizes CONCEAL CARRIE PERMITS!!! SAVE YOUR LIFE BUY A WEAPON FOR PROTECTION!!!

Our first affirmative action President combined with an Attorney General who is reluctant to go after ‘his people’? Get ready, these savages will soon be at a mall near you. It’s not a matter of if, but when.
Bill Mitchell commented:
Not to sound racist, but has anyone noticed the predominant (if not sole) race involved in these flash mob attacks?
One of these kids is gonna run into a citizen with a conceal and carry permit and get their fool head blown off. Of course, the citizen will go to prison for murder and a hate crime even though the mob was beating his wife and child.

The police need to administer some severe beatings. That’s the only thing that will get their attention.
Bill Mitchell commented:
You feel like stopping them and asking, “at what point did rioting in the streets and beating innocent bystanders seem like a good idea to you?”
Bees disappearing, fish dying en masse, birds falling from the sky by the thousands, wild mobs gone crazy for no particular reason, strange humming noises being heard in various locations? Does it seem to anyone else that perhaps someone is beaming something from space thast could be affecting people? Or could it be all the wireless signals passing through our bodies are making our young people mad?

Let them riot. The last thing the ‘rats want is for these animals to start getting headlines. The key for them is to keep the transformation of society on the down low. If it gets hot they are in trouble.
daryl commented:
Who in the “black community” is willing to step up and speak out against this crap before someone snaps and cuts down on a crowd of these uncivilized, worthless (plural) pos. Jesse, al, naacp? Are you there ? Aren’t you concerned at all that society is getting enough of this s**t and the consequences of what can happen when it finally does? Are you ready to share the blame?
donh commented:
Two women sitting at a street side window sharing chocolate fondue. Sounds like two lesbians taunting people by making a big show of public affection. Can lesbians press a hate crime if blacks do the abusing? Its just petty theft given the race of the criminals. White christian males take the phone, and this would be a federal hate crime.

Mac #11 — you are absolutely correct. Just a question of when, not if.
