This isn't the Middle East.
One cop against a violent mob? Better hope he has one of those evil high capacity magazines...

Flash mobs also dance in the street, go pantsless, and stand still for a period of time.

People do need to be held responsible for their actions, do people need to be gunned down for doing something stupid? We have different lines and mine doesn't agree with Islamic Law like yours does.

The first amendment protects POLITICAL SPEECH from being persecuted by the government. It was created because in jolly old England you could be jailed for speaking out against the king. Censoring texts against a private entity does not apply here.

Also, you are telling me that death is a good punishment of theft? How very Middle Eastern of you, you would do great under the Islamic mindset.
They are acting like animals.

They will be the ones responsible when a few go down.

Actions have consequences....at least they used to.

You would be surprised how much an officer can curb issues with teens who are doing this for fun.

Well are you using the "animal" term because they are black or do you use that term for every rowdy behavior?

And yes actions have consequences and I am sure a number of them are gonna get caught and slapped with charges. I don't think we need to live by Islamic Law and gun down teens for stealing...but then again, I guess that is the difference between me and you.

Some animal the other day was jealous of my expensive sports car, so he keyed it. Thankfully I was nearby to witness it and walk over and put the animal down with a bullet to the back of his head. That animal learned that actions have consequences.

There would be absolutely nothing wrong with a business owner ending the lives of a few "flash mob" members in order to protect his property, his livelihood, and the well being of themselves, their employees, and their customers.

Hell, I believe it needs to happen at least a few times before these fools finally get the message. The cops admit they cant do anything about it, so maybe a few dead losers would.
