Flash Mob Raids 7-11 Store in Silver Spring, Maryland
EmailA group of 50 teenagers raided a Maryland 7-Eleven Saturday night, looting the convenience store in what police are investigating as a flash mob robbery.
Montgomery County police say the teens, ranging in age from 16-18, rushed into the 7-Eleven in Silver Spring, Md., around 11:20 p.m. Saturday night.
Video surveillance from the store shows the teens fanning out across the store and grabbing snacks and drinks. The teens then exited the store to the surrounding parking lots and streets, and then quickly dispersed once police arrived.
Police were able to stop six of the teens, each of whom were carrying merchandise from the 7-Eleven but without receipts, reports local ABC affiliate ABC-7.
Police say the suspects may have been attending a birthday party in the area.
They released surveillance video of the group theft in hopes of identifying more of the individuals involved.
The term flash mob was first used to describe spontaneous gatherings of people in a public space, alerted by text, email or Twitter. In the latest cases, however, flash mobs have turned from fun events to criminal occurrences.
The Saturday night raid in Silver Spring is the latest of such thefts to hit the Washington, D.C. area in recent months.
In August, a flash mob invaded another 7-Eleven in Germantown, Md., grabbing all the snacks and candy they could access. The entire robbery, described by an police as “anarchy” lasted less than one minute.
Earlier in the summer, a flash mob robbed a high-end clothing store in Washington, D.C.
The dual incidents in Maryland have prompted Montgomery County officials there to consider legislation regulating teen loitering and implementing a teen curfew.

Anyone notice a consistency with all the people in this video. Can’t help but notice something that seems to definitely be the same between all the people. Wait, are they white, spanish, asian??? Not sure but they all seem to be the same something.

Ya, it is all whiteys fault these black kids rob, rape, murder, eat the teachers. I don’t think it has anything to do with their race. It is their culture, it is what they are taught. I am not a racist, I am a culturist. Yes, white anglo european culture is better and makes for a better society. We need to not be afraid to train these animals. They can be trained, just like a dog.

We should sterilize and eliminate voting privileges for all families (mother, father (if he can be found – else cut the benefits in 1/2), children) living off any type welfare (food, housing, homeless, living, …) for over 6 months. This would eventually lead to an end of poverty, crime and make the future better instead of perpetuating the problem as we’ve been doing since the 1960′s

White European barbaric society is all they know that’s why they act that way. Lets look at history here’s a fun fact everything European western society has is thanks to theft. Wow Europe doesn’t really have to many natural resources ohh yeah they stole from every culture in the world took America thanks to an attempted genocide. Wow you’re right those black’s just came to America had everything given to them and don’t know how to act. You racist culturalists whatever are funny your just adding to your eventual karma. I’m a historian it always happens in the end so have fun until then

Do not sit there and say race has nothing to do with it. There is a STRONG reason blacks are stereotyped. Watch the video a few times and let me know if the reason comes to you.

Forgetting the obvious race issue – look at how the local gov’t is attempting to re-actively respond to these crimes. A CURFEW?? or a ban on LOITERING?? Are they really going to waste taxpayer dollars to legislate curfew and loitering bans?
Do these “officials” think that a group of kids willing to rob an f’ing store are going to care if they technically should have been home by 10? Will these kids suddenly stop robbing stores because loitering in the parking lot is now illegal? Talk about the inmates running the godforsaken asylum!!

Oh yes, Brian, the same European culture that plunged the world into two global wars that killed millions, nearly plunged the world into another global war (Desert Storm) over its greed for oil, and wiped out millions more of indegenous people and raped and pillaged wherever they went, and promoted large-scale institutionalized racism. Yes indeed, we should all model our cultures after the Europeans…NOT.

Because they were slaves 400 years ago is no excuse for their behavior today and for them to think everything should be given to them, they were never slaves, their ancestors were. Whites flourished in 1 generation, they have been here 400 years and still can’t take care of themselves. They value ignorance, they think it’s cute, that’s why they purposely are illiterate, with ‘scrawberry’ and ‘urnge juice’. Whites realized kids cost money, we don’t want to be poor with multiple kids, so most couples have 2, maybe 3 kids. Blacks have 6 or 7 because the more kids, the more welfare they qualify for. And just their general ignorance not to use protection.

Oh, and their ancestors being slaves was the best thing that ever happened to them, or else they would still be living in Africa today starving and leaving their 7 kids behind as they die of AIDS.
