Au contraire. they are dangerous. In philly they have been roaming the streets destroying property, over turning cars, over turning trash cans. Now how far of a leap do you think it's going to be before they start beating up people on the street?
A flash mob of 150 teens slammed into Center City yesterday afternoon like a tidal wave of stupidity, flooding the streets with chaos and fear.
This incident happen a few weeks ago in Center City. It's from Philly.com
The mob of mindless miscreants gathered at the Gallery mall about 4:45 p.m. for a fight that police suspect may have been arranged earlier in the day on the Internet, police said.
Mall security guards chased the marauders, only to watch them stampede through the nearby Macy's, causing $700 worth of damage, said Lt. George Ondrejka of Central Detectives.
The teens, including numerous students from Simon Gratz and Benjamin Franklin High Schools, then wreaked havoc as they moved en masse across Market Street toward City Hall, Ondrejka said.
Traffic came to a halt as the youngsters began pelting cars, pedestrians and one another with snowballs, Ondrejka said. They knocked down numerous bystanders and some members of the mob even turned on each other. Philadelphia police and several SEPTA cops swarmed the scene and collared 15 participants - 14 boys and one girl - near City Hall, Ondrejka noted.
The boys, ages 14 to 17, were charged with disorderly conduct and rioting. Ondrejka said the girl, 15, was charged with assault for kicking a teen boy in the face.
Now you tell me, how safe do you feel if your in your car on Broad street and now you've got 150 teens throwing snowballs and debris at it?
