You are very cool indeed, T. :)
What I see on the tape at the time you marked is quite a few people doing what can only be described as NOT trashing a store and NOT stealing and NOT picking the shelves clean. I think I may have even seen someone pick up some stuff off the floor - clearly these "mobs" are completely out of control and bent on mayhem and wholesale destruction.

Hello,
That is what struck me.
One fellow knocked some stuff off a shelf. The person immediately behind that fellow (a young lady) picked up the fallen merchandise and restored it to the shelf.
A 'mob' is made up of 'people.'
And not all people are the same.

Yes, I paid attention to it as well, and what I noticed were numerous people walking around with their hands in their pockets, or nothing IN their hands, just wandering around. Would be interesting to have a video of the entire store, then follow individuals around and see what percentage of them actually took things, as opposed to which percentage were just walking around. Can't do it, of course, but some of them definitely weren't stealing anything.

Flash Mobs in Philadelphia: Sorry PC America, They are a Racial Thing
By Erik Uliasz at 12:50 pm on Saturday August 13, 2011
For almost a year, police departments in several cities around the country, most noticeably in Baltimore, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, and Chicago( NOT mentioned are similar attacks in Atlanta, Peoria may more cities.. ) , are investigating "flash mob"-generated violence, in which packs of dozens or even hundreds of youths, organized through social media sites, appear seemingly out of nowhere to commit assaults, robberies, and other crimes against innocent bystanders.
But here is the dirty little secret that PC media has been tiptoeing around all summer—the perpetrators are African-American and the victims are mostly white.
A Color-Blind Media
Here are two good examples of media outlets failing to identify the ethnicity of the attackers:
The Philadelphia Inquirer, which did not identify the race of the attackers (they were called “unruly teens”) or victims in stories, quoted one of the victims in Center City, Jeremy Schenkel. A “shirtless kid punched him in the head,” the paper reported. “Schenkel fell against a car, then to the ground. His glasses flew off, cracked. He tried to shield himself.”
After weeks as failing to report the race of the assailants in several Chicago flash mobs, a Chicago Tribune writer named Mary Schmick attempted to justify her paper’s conduct, and was spectacularly unconvincing, finally admitting the obvious, “So, yes, the attackers were black. We notice. But how to measure the relevance of the fact?"

Somebody Finally Said It
By Thomas Sowell
Someone at long last has had the courage to tell the plain, honest truth about race.
After mobs of young blacks rampaged through Philadelphia committing violence -- as similar mobs have rampaged through Chicago, Denver, Milwaukee and other places -- Philadelphia's black mayor, Michael A. Nutter, ordered a police crackdown and lashed out at the whole lifestyle of those who did such things.
"Pull up your pants and buy a belt 'cause no one wants to see your underwear or the crack of your butt," he said. "If you walk into somebody's office with your hair uncombed and a pick in the back, and your shoes untied, and your pants half down, tattoos up and down your arms and on your neck, and you wonder why somebody won't hire you? They don't hire you 'cause you look like you're crazy," the mayor said. He added: "You have damaged your own race."
While this might seem like it is just plain common sense, what Mayor Nutter said undermines a whole vision of the world that has brought fame, fortune and power to race hustlers in politics, the media and academia. Any racial disparities in hiring can only be due to racism and discrimination, according to the prevailing vision, which reaches from street corner demagogues to the august chambers of the Supreme Court of the United States.
Just to identify the rioters and looters as black is a radical departure, when mayors, police chiefs and the media in other cities report on these outbreaks of violence without mentioning the race of those who are doing these things. The Chicago Tribune even made excuses for failing to mention race when reporting on violent attacks by blacks on whites in Chicago.
Such excuses might make sense if the same politicians and media talking heads were not constantly mentioning race when denouncing the fact that a disproportionate number of young black men are being sent to prison.
The prevailing social dogma is that disparities in outcomes between races can only be due to disparities in how these races are treated. In other words, there cannot possibly be any differences in behavior.
But if black and white Americans had exactly the same behavior patterns, they would be the only two groups on this planet that are the same.
The Chinese minority in Malaysia has long been more successful and more prosperous than the Malay majority, just as the Indians in Fiji have long been more successful and more prosperous than the indigenous Fijians. At various places and times throughout history, the same could be said of the Armenians in Turkey, the Lebanese in Sierra Leone, the Parsees in India, the Japanese in Brazil, and numerous others.
There are similar disparities within particular racial or ethnic groups. Even this late in history, I have had northern Italians explain to me why they are not like southern Italians. In Australia, Jewish leaders in both Sydney and Melbourne went to great lengths to tell me why and how the Jews are different in these two cities.
In the United States, despite the higher poverty level among blacks than among whites, the poverty rate among black married couples has been in single digits since 1994. The disparities within the black community are huge, both in behavior and in outcomes.
Nevertheless, the dogma persists that differences between groups can only be due to the way others treat them or to differences in the way others perceive them in "stereotypes."
All around the country, people in politics and the media have been tip-toeing around the fact that violent attacks by blacks on whites in public places are racially motivated, even when the attackers themselves use anti-white invective and mock the victims they leave lying on the streets bleeding.
This is not something to ignore or excuse. It is something to be stopped. Mayor Michael Nutter of Philadelphia seems to be the first to openly recognize this.
This needs to be done for the sake of both black and white Americans -- and even for the sake of the hoodlums. They have set out on a pa

Hello,
Like Wulf, Raptor, you seem to be intent on the race of the participants. I am at a loss as to how it is important.
How is the experience changed?
What is special about a 'Black' flash mob over any mob of people anywhere?
What special tactics will uniquely work because of race? How is race pivotal in creating a solution?

Oh, Anthony, you silly man! You DO realize you're asking actual, real QUESTIONS of Rap and Wulf. You might want to see to that 
. It's VITALLY important to them that they're Black (or Muslim; anything else they'd probably ignore). You want the real bottom line? They're both SCARED TO DEATH of "others", and Muslims are the most recent "others", while Blacks have LONG been the "others". That's it, pure and simple. Fear is behind all hatred, it's a psychological fact.
I'll be interested to see how they respond (if they bother). No, they WILL bother, because as important as it is to them that the flash mobs are Black, it is equally important to TALK ABOUT IT. There's no way they'd not follow the urge to rant further. Wait for it...

Once I get to the term "race hustlers", I stop reading.
It's the accusatory tone of such a derogatory insult, like when PN blames every ill in the world on "the Jews". I need read no further, because I know there is no valid information to be gleaned from such a person.

Yup. Just like it's so important to point out the President's race every time they point out what they think are his failings, or just what bugs them about him.
Never mind the fact that President Obama is exactly as much white as he is black. Apparently for Rap and Wulf, one drop of black blood taints the man completely.

Gee, I don't know, Anthony. Why don't you ask the victims of these mobs. Victims who are almost, if not entirely, exclusively white.
Go and pretend that's not happening... oh, sorry. You're already there.
Let's just be like Obama, and blame technology or some such, mmkay ? Worked for his excuse as to the loss of jobs...
