Police Concerned Over New “Flash Mob” Robbery Trend

Another sign of the collapse of our civil society. Store owners be aware of this trend:

On Saturday, St. Paul police say 50 kids swarmed a Holiday store on Wabasha, a so-called mob theft or mob robbery. They stormed in together, their numbers overwhelming and just started stealing.

“They steal your basic convenience store type of goods and run out,” says St. Paul Police Department spokesperson Andy Skoogman.

It’s the second incident like it in St. Paul in less than six months. Last fall, surveillance cameras at a BP station on Lexington captured some 20 kids coming into the store at the same time. They stole merchandise and one of them assaulted the clerk on the way out.

Police worry about this kind of mob behavior because there have been similar incidents in other cities.

The mob robbery at the Holiday store happened just before a shooting incident down the street where two people were injured. St. Paul police are looking into whether the two cases are connected.

The police are calling it mob mentality but the truth is it’s worse than that. The authorities are losing their ability to keep the piece. Here’s a video report:

  1. Rob Taylor,

    Regardless of how organized they are this is pretty scary. I’d hate to experience one of this mob robberies. What would you do if you ended up in the middle of one.

  2. Some store owners are armed. I would bet that all that is needed to stop this forever is for some owner to shot 10-15 of these thugs in the act of robbing his store and assaulting him and this would stop.

  3. I live in Minnesota and I honestly wouldn’t mind a giant bomb just dropping and killing myself just to save the good folks of North Dakota who are suffering from the crime-ridden animals crossing from the Moorhead border into Fargo.

    This will be a trend and no doubt the dumbasses will cam it via their phones and post it to either Youtube or Facebook for a good laugh.
