There are reasons flash mobs happen where there are restrictive gun laws, little police protection, and a general attitude of acceptance of criminal behavior as a norm.
Because they can.
It's one thing as a store owner to carry, it's another entirely to be working a minimum wage job as a night clerk and think about defending a boss' property with your life. I used to work midnights at a friend's convenience store/fireworks stand on the interstate, and most of the people who worked similar stores said, "Let them take what they want, I'll even help them carry it out" when we talked about robberies. Me, I felt differently - I kept my .38 with me and made no secret of it. The cops 'knew I was crazy' and kept coming by 'to make sure I wasn't dragging bodies out of the store'. Between my rep and the cop presence, I - unlike most of the people who worked in our area at night - was never robbed. Criminals will always take the easy way out; go for the stores and areas where they know that they have nothing to fear.
That said, anyone nowadays who "escalates" the situation by defending themselves or their property will, more often than not, have to deal with families and friends of the criminals (often criminals themselves) who will seek 'revenge'. And, with their mentality, they will seek 'revenge' on stores, property owners, and even passerby who are 5-10-20 miles away from, and had nothing to do with, the scene where their criminal friend was brought to justice. This is why gun owners won't shoot into flash mobs - not just because the cops and courts in their area won't protect them, but because they know that, the minute they fire, these humanimals will become even more aggressive and violent. And most regular folks won't/can't arm themselves to protect themselves.
It's pretty pathetic when criminals direct and determine peoples' lifestyles and safety instead of the law-abiding individuals. If every law-abiding citizen was required to be armed and know how to use weaponry, and didn't pity or excuse criminals or their behavior, this wouldn't be happening. It's sad when the criminal element is more cohesive and supportive of each other than the non-criminals.
I'd suggest 18 1/2 just so some overzealous cop/prosecutor doesn't decide to cite/prosecute you because it's 17 999999999/100000000.
You can count on an over-zealous prosecution, but that's the price we have to pay to defend civilization from barbarians. It's not free, there's always a cost.
Question is: when is the first strike going to happen?
Not soon enough, it is already way overdue.

Try this one, works just as good or perhaps even better.

I'm not a liberal (imo) and I'm not afraid of a race war.
Of course if there were one I'm confident I'd end up on the winning side, so to speak.
There would be no winners in a race war. We would all lose. This not one race against another, it is civilized society against rampaging criminal rabble. Stop the cancer before it spreads further.
I just don't want to see these mobs get so out of control. I do worry that at some point someone is going to mess with the wrong dude, and all hell is going to break lose. They are getting a bit crazy, mess with the wrong person, and who knows what will happen.
Race riots/war. That's what will happen. They're already targeting whites (see admission re: Wisconsin State Fair). It'll skyrocket out of control when a white person fights back and one or more of the attackers get killed.
