- This is rioting and should be handled as such. Riot police, full gear, and the authorization to use any force necessary restore order.— Jimac
- It is not a flash mob if it is known about ahead of time. Then it is a planned riot to cause premeditated chaos, destruction and injury.— KeepingItReal19
- Well one must say at least this time there is a warning The only real problem I see is that what will happen if these "kids" mess with the wrong person and say there are 3 kids badly hurt, what then? Are adults not allowed to protect thenselves. Will the parents of said kids say how nice and sweet their hooligan children are? I say if you want to fight join a boxing gym— rhumbline
- roll in with some force, maybe they get the message— hawk16
