I have yet to see a white ,yellow or red in any of these criminal flash mobs....coincidence....:\

ban, racist comments. I'm thoroughly offended. My whole existance has just been shattered by this revelation that you seem to be surreptitiously claming that black people are the perpetrators here. LET ME REMIND YOU, 12 generations ago their family was in slavery, therefore, you have NO RIGHT to try and dehumanize them like that.

someone, please take care of this loon

So this is the first I've seen/heard of this "phenomenon".....so a bunch of people get together and go into a store to steal stuff figuring there are so many of them that they can't be stopped or prosecuted??

They will beat up the owner if they try to stop them.

The answer is simple, install an alarm system that drops an impenetrable wall after the clerk hits the alarm button. Clerk goes into a pre-installed panic room, hilarity ensues as all these little assholes are arrested when the cops arrive.

The store owner would likely spend life in prison for unlawful detention or some other bullshit, while everyone else got let go because there were too many people and they couldn't pin anything on anyone in particular.

In other words, expect this to get worse, not better.

Not if it's all caught on camera. However, you may be right since it's in Communistland (aka Maryland). Couldn't pay me to live there, even in the nicer burbs like Ellicot City.

Hopefully it's only a matter of time before some business or homeowner says "enough of this shit" and decides to get some justice with a 12-gauge. Hopefully it'll be sooner rather than later so this nonsense can begin to stop.

You'd have to prove that they were stealing it and not just picking up items to take to the counter.

The sad thing is that person would probably charged with murder unless he can prove he was in danger and just protecting himself.

I wouldn't convict him if I was on a jury though. Enough is enough.

And even then, what is the city going to do? Prosecute fifty people for shoplifting? What's the conviction rate? How many innocent shoppers will get caught up in it? The cost to the city is huge.

In other words, nothing will come of this. It will keep happening.

Agreed 100%. I don't wish death on anybody, but if you're going to be a destructive piece of shit I won't feel bad when you take a bullet to the face trying to destroy someone else's livelihood and property in the name of "entertainment".

The problem with this is as soon as you do something like that you are guaranteed that one of the people you shot was an innocent bystander that happened to come in at the same time. Either that or some overly reactionary store owner is going to blast some basketball team that comes in for some G2 because he is sure that 12+ black teens coming in his store all at the same time is a flash rob.

What if as the store owner, you just quietly walk behind them and lock the door while pulling your shotgun out. Wait for them to get done looting then as they realize you are in front of the door with a large gun and they have no way out, ask them nicely to put everything back while you cock your shotgun for effect.

Would only work if you actually shot the 1st one to challenge you. Not a chargeable offense, imo.
