It seems likely that they are using social media to coordinate the attacks on stores. How come no one mentions that fact on MSM? Shutting down their means of communication would be an obvious way to help stop these events.

Flash mobs of all types ave been organizing on social media for a decade or more, I think it’s fairly common knowledge by now.

That would be violation of freedom of speech, right?

Because you can't stop people from communicating without doing seriously authoritarian things and stopping everyone from communicating.

I also read that it is organized by gangs - they "hire" people to do this - get the goods and then sell them off.

How do the police...or social media bosses for that matter, know who did it?

You think the police can stop this? How exactly would they do that? How does anyone stop this after-the-fact?


I believe frustrated business owners will soon take matters into their own hands. They'll stop these criminals at the door, day or night, in a take-no-prisoners battle between right and wrong.

And we need to let them. We need to support them, rather than support those who support the criminals.

Only a societal effort will end this madness before flash mobs burst into our private homes and take whatever they think they're entitled to.

Nope. I actually don't. But I was wondering if OP knew something I didn't.

They stop terrorist related sites and conservative sites....these mob sites can be labeled domestic terrorism and be shut down if the big brother social media sites wanted to do it. Work with law enforcement to direct the thugs to a site where they can be apprehended.

ARE there "mob sites"? Are they on the dark web? And how exactly do you know where to go searching, unless you have a suspect or a witness? What if all these people use code words?


I mean...I don't know. I'm not necessarily arguing with you...I really don't know much about it. But...if you're right, than maybe they're already doing that. You know..spying on people, etc.
