Hose em' down- Lets hope the police are there ready and waiting with riot gear.— jfar86
Great. This city is going to be on world news tonight. what an embaressment. Parents have GOT to get a grip on their spawns or the cops will.— tulipwalk- Here we go again. I hope all these kids get locked up. Send them to the same judge that just convicted 29 other "flash mobbers". And hopefully the Mayor won't again tell everyone that the media is blowing it all out of proportion. If they are old enough to do the crime, they are old enough to do the time!— sbtigger

- shoot to kill! shoot to kill!— your_mom_says_hi!
- Napalm— Bulldog02
- If i may state, I remember when I was younger, there was some individuals who used to robb people by driving around with there lights off and if you flashed them as to say your lights was off they would follow you home and the robe you. Does any remeber how Philadelphia responded to that situation. As the mayor, I would dispatch the national gaurd to that part of the city, if you really want to make that issue go away.— aharrell
- "Doesn't anyone have baseball practice?" Ryan Howard and Jimmy Rollins are the only black people that play baseball in Philadelphia.— Danny Noonan
