If not here already. Another day, another flash mob attack where groups of "yutes" attack others on the streets, robbing and beating. This time in Philly. A woman had her leg broken by the mob, estimated at between 50 - 100.

Woman's leg broken, others hurt in Spring Garden mob attack

I have to wonder how long it will be before a mob chooses the wrong victim(s) and some of them don't return home. Of course, anybody who shoots in self defense will find themselves in a bad place. Remember, this is a city like Chicago, where concealed carry is not an option. The PC media and politicians will paint the shooter as the real criminal. The mobs will not be addressed, except in PC talking points, which are meaningless.

It will happen sometime soon. Wonder what the odds are?

There is only room for escalation from here.

Won't happen here, but just in case, I'll start carrying more mags.

Better damn well be legal mags! Or else the law will punish you for defending yourself again crime mobs.

Blah, blah, blah. Everyone should carry a gun blah, blah, blah. the attackers will be made the victim. Blah, blah, blah. Try something original. You are putting me to sleep.

Are you endorsing the Flash Mobs or just being an idiot?

Rob, go play in traffic, fool. Better yet, go find a flash mob and offer yourself up as a hapless victim to see how you like it.

I have to assume that it was a rhetorical question.

Sounds like this has become a major problem in Chicago and looks like Philly has gotten into the act (and based on another thread, I thought it was mainly the South that was so uncivilized and culturally repugnant, but I digress).

Yet another result of the failing family unit and personal responsibility, especially in areas where too many "parents" simply do not care or are completely absent from the children's lives. Where ambition and going about life honestly are discouraged instead of encouraged, and where entitlement by any means necessary becomes more and more the way of life. And these "poor kids from the streets" who gang-attack individuals are alerted to attack by social networking sites and texts. Meaning, these teens aren't so desperately poor that they don't have computers and cell phones handy.

I'll leave the concealed weapons debate to others. I support those who'd like to lock and load for protection. Me? I'd just high-tail it out of there and find somewhere with a better quality of life, where I can grow old and not worry as much about "capping gangstas." There is a risk of crime everywhere, of course, but I'll leave the crowded downtowns and inner cities to others. Not worth constantly looking over my back.

"Some people need killin" is mine.

Quotes from Chicago Sun-Times columnist Mary Mitchell:

> "Unfortunately for mothers, suspects in flash mob case will be made example."

> "Had these mob attacks taken place on the South Side, I not only believe that the bails would have been lower, but also that the crimes would not have been taken seriously enough."

> "Although each of the teens arrested in last weekend’s mob attacks made a bad decision, they don’t appear to be bad teens. None of these teens had a criminal record."

> "Obviously, there is no excuse for beating up people and taking their stuff. But as they say, idle hands are the devil’s playthings, and there are too many idle black teenage males. These teens couldn’t get a job if they tried given the high unemployment rate. Free organized sports and other recreational activities are also in short supply."

> "This is the kind of negative publicity that creates a political environment resulting in decent teenagers paying a heavy price for being foolish."


Translation: These are just good kids who made a foolish decision. They shoulder little blame, as the real blame rests on the local economy, budget-cutting and the negative publicity they receive. Good-natured teens who are 'bored' are forced into committing violent crimes, and now these poor souls who were arrested will be made examples. Oh, and the bail amounts these children received are racist.

Hmm. Gee, I wonder what political ideology Mary Mitchell subscribes to?

As opposed to the more people brutally assaulted by thugs because self defense is all but illegal the better?

Even so, high unemployment among black teens is directly caused by minimum wage laws. More institutional racism by the left.

These teens couldn’t get a job if they tried given the high unemployment rate. Free organized sports and other recreational activities are also in short supply."

Well heck, when Harry Reid says that Men without jobs may beat their wife, why hold teens to a higher standard?

The story won't load on my computer, but I'm guessing it wasn't a dancing flash mob

Thats what I thought it meant at first. A flash mob gone wrong. Not flash gang attacks.

These black teenagers just didn't pick up these lawless ways all by themselves. They have no positive male role models. Might be because their role model fathers are mostly in prison or have abandoned their children long ago to be players.

Daniel Patrick Moynihan had it right all those years ago. The destruction of Black fatherhood would lead to the destruction of Black Children. It's now become generational.

The other part of his prediction, that this would spread to other communities, also holds true.

Marriage, even in extreme poverty, is better than no marriage with enough government benefits to keep food on the table.

The message from society is clear.. Dads are like a Playstation, nice if you can get one but not really a necessity. Of course if you bring up that the glorification of extended adolescence leading to single motherhood is a shameful practice you are shunned.

Were so busy trying to help girls who made foolish decision feel 'empowered' and 'good about themselves' that we just won't tell them that if they have kids they are better off with a husband than without (even if the father is an immature kid)...

I was talking to my daughters teacher while we helped clean up her room at the end of the year and I mention my interest in getting my teaching certification (now possible in Minnesota without an education degree). She practically begged me to do it "not enough men teaching to help the boys in this district".
