This statement was in the article;

"Directly after 9:00pm, you are not even giving them time, so by 8:59, they're supposed to be inside the house. That's ridiculous," said Shantel Powell.

That is so comical, it hurts. I can see someone telling their employer their scheduled times to aren't going to work, because they have less than one minute to get there. It is working because combined with the increased police presence, no more 'flash mobs' have appeared.

Regardless, this belongs in the O'Club.

So kids are getting arrested for .... dancing?

Sounds like a movie.....


Nope. Sounds like the definition of a "Flash Mob" has changed.   

Nope, I'm wrong again. Apparently only in Philly are there violent Flash Mobs.  http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/25/us/25mobs.html

All this time I've been stockpiling ammunition to fend off a zombie attack when I should have been preparing to fend off a flash mob.  Oh well, never too late to start preparing...
