Another flash mob story in Chicago. But they time they targeted a trendy boutique in a shopping district and took $200 jeans. $3000 worth of merchandise stolen. Owner called the cops but it took the cops 30 minutes to get there.

All caught on tape but no arrests have been made.

Yes, this problem won't be going away, just like all the other problems we thought would go away by ignoring. They are rewarded with free crap, and void of any punishment for their actions, they will just keep doing it. Since their friends are seeing all of this going on (void of punishment or consequences) they will be more likely to jump in. Expect to see this kind of behavior popping up all across the country, and in greater frequency. Expect liberals to describe their actions as symptoms of a system that ignores them, or hasn't done enough for them. In their mind, it is ALWAYS the victims fault. Expect them to suggest several strategies that do not, and will not work. Expect them to demonize the store owner that finally does defend themselves. Expect America to continue to resemble a circus.

Pepper spray/mace could help in this situation. I prefer all of them be shot by the employees because that would be a permanent solution to a stupid problem.

All you need is one of these punks to get blown away, and I guarantee you the savages will stop this.

Hey even a gang banger is concerned on how they look when they're out shooting up the hood.

But..this one was targeted and they went after expensive jeans.
This wasn't some spur of the moment, we got kicked out of our party so we wandered around type of incident.

They probably thought the clothes were rightfully theirs as the business owner really didn't build that business someone else did and they had no right to make a profit selling clothes that belong to the People.

As the economy gets worse you can count on seeing more flash mob attacks. The end result will be costs past onto law abiding customers and finally store closures.

What will these flash mobs do when all the stores in their neighborhoods close?
