These so-called bash mobs of "flash mob" crime waves are organized through social media and have been a problem in Chicago, Philadelphia and Washington. In April, 28 Chicago youths were arrested on suspicion of attacking pedestrians along the city's famed Magnificent Mile. Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn signed legislation in May enacting stiffer penalties for people who text or use social media to organize mob attacks.
If you ask me, police need to start using riot suppression tactics.

It's not anything new imo. Kids used to do that back when I was in high school sometimes after large parties or events. They'd loot a whole store or gas station and take over the place. There'd be so many people the police couldn't even arrest people. They'd be outnumbered.

Is it any wonder that people move out of those neighborhoods? Non-criminal flight.
