You'd think that the cashless society and cheap smartphones could kill this mob violence. How much is a used iPhone even worth these days? But the mob attacks are just a really sick form of entertainment for these guys, a la Clockwork Orange.

Diversity has nothing to do with these trouble makers jumping on folks. This has gotten way out of hand.

I know of many conservative folks that enjoy the benefits of living in a diverse community. There are many diverse neighborhoods that are safe and they thrive as a result.

I dont like your agenda. It resembles too much of a racialist (stormfront) type of garbage that is focused on hurting race relations. Just like the kkk.

If these flash mobs and street crimes (which seem almost organized on some level, like a strange type of guerilla warfare against the middle class) do not end, Chicago could very well start to fall hard and fast.
Unfortunatly, it's not just Chicago.

Kids that aren't a member of the middle class. No one said it's a global conspiracy. It's just a bunch of have-nots taking from the haves. And then seeing it on the news and replicating it.
