The 19th-century Australian term flash mob referred to a segment of society, not an event, and showed no other similarities to the modern term flash mob or the events it describes.

What's to say these robberies aren't just performance art?

Performance art usually has a theme behind it. The only theme in play here is overwhelming the store with as many people as possible so you dont have to pay for anything.

All I know is they better nip this **** in the bud quick. It starts in convenience stores, and it will quickly move up to other businesses. And its only a matter of time before they get any more violent than they already are.

Covert thugs? Yeah right. Its the cracked out white guy that slips in and out with 5 cartons of cigs through a ceiling tile in the bathroom (true story).

Nigaas role in packs bro. They don't take **** from nobody when they role deep like that. Candies, sodas, chips, **** you name it Ima steal it type mentality.

They do this because its a well know fact that homies are worthless one on one. They know how to clobber someone with 10 of their boys, but they couldn't throw a punch to save the hood.

Needs a better name. "Violent flash mob" is better.

I'd argue "flash mob" is a better description to these mobs...

regardless of who coined the term first.

Go smoke a *** Joe.

The usual short-form of "pedophile" is "pedo", not "pedant."

"Pedant" refers to someone who is pedantic.

Yes, I know that. I was trying to make a sex joke.

"Sarcant" refers to someone who doesn't understand sarcasm.

I don't think that is accurate. Even a skilled shooter, behind the counter, using a $$$ Benelli M4 would not be able to take down ~40 tangos. You could hope that dropping a few would force them to flee, but now you have made yourself a sitting target for drive-bys and other repercussions.

:( I honestly do not know what the answer is.

M249 and a few cases of linked ammo linked together under the counter. Flash mob could be a hundred+. Or one case clicked in is 200rounds, reloading one even if your good gives them an opportunity to strick back. If I ever own a store there is going to be a TAS on the roof. (remote operated machine gun) it's like a video game.
