Maybe go find another country to live in. THIS country was founded on the spirit of individual freedom, not obedience.

Try going to work and expressing your individual freedoms. See how far that gets you kiddo.

Your mind is so fucked you literally can’t think of a reality outside of going to work for someone else. You sold yourself out, like a bitch.

Hate to break it to you sonny, but you're always going to work for someone else.

Whether it's your boss or your customer, that's what work is.

It's a promise of effort or service to someone else in exchange for currency.

I'm not sure if you've noticed, but if you don't grow up to be an obedient and productive worker you're not going to make it very far in life.

Couldn't disagree more. People who live outside the box or do not conform are often the most successful people

His critique is quite valid when schooling is mostly focused on memorizing facts for multiple choice tests

Outliers aren't the rule.

99% of people are going to end up just being workers.

This is a bad argument, like but but Steve Jobs didn't finish college.

Not finishing college doesn't make you Steve Jobs. It makes you a college dropout in the eyes of your potential employers.

This is a completely different argument than the one you made before.

"I'm not sure if you've noticed, but if you don't grow up to be an obedient and productive worker you're not going to make it very far in life."

This was the comment I was referring to. You are saying 99% of people are going to be "workers". Well, "workers" can easily make 100K, 200K and more. I see nothing wrong with that and you absolutely DO NOT have to conform to be successful. You have to be willing to take risks and blaze your own path and you can be very very successful. You statement above is false the way it's written.

My statement was made with the pretty obvious assumption that not everyone gets to be Steve Jobs and the majority are going to be workers.. so being an obedient and productive worker is in most people's best interest.

I agree with that but it's not what you said...

All good though

Paint ball gun with pepper balls is the way to and stores should be legally not responsible for any injuries.

 

[Amerikuracana]

These stores need to find a way to remote lock the doors a trigger a police call instantly when this shit happens. How are going to stand around and let these fuckfaces do this and leave and not care?

Shit like this is just adding to the reasons why brick and mortar stores are becoming too costly to operate.

You know how many normal stores most of Detroit has? None. You know why? Yeah you know why. Time for some honestly.

What was his old account name?

I don't know, but certainly he's a Nazi zombie based on his join date and posting ferocity.

 

[JimmyFresno]

It IS a culture problem. I really wish society as a whole would shame anyone that does this bs into obscurity.

Someone could make a lot of money setting up a social media platform dedicated to collecting information on these scumfucks, and reporting it to authorities.

SHAME. The comment section of the article in the op says it all. No one wants this.

 

[Ice That Jaw]

I'm not saying the workers should do something to the people,.. again there should be way you can hit a remote lock so they can't get out and it automatically calls the cops.. they don't have to stop anyone, just wait for the cops to show up.

So you want to lock yourself in the store with a bunch of adrenaline fueled thugs who are now tasked to escape a pending arrest by any means necessary?

How many times did you flunk out of street smarts school?

 

[Happy Man]

Is this really such a prevalent occurancd that it needs a dedicated thread? Damn that's dissapointing

It’s so prevalent you will only see less than 1% of the instances on the internet.

Another overlooked phenomenon is where “flash mobs” go and physically beat white people just because they are white.

 

[JamesRussler]

I'm ambivalent about this comment.

On the one hand, it's sensible.

On the other, well, the Democrat's own endless racism-by-correlation logic & rhetoric might suffice. So far nearly every flash mob theft I've seen like this over the years, dating back to the Apple store grabs, has involved almost exclusively black people. Blacks vote Democrat by a ratio of ~90%, don't they? I'm sure there's some remarkably stupid insight buried in this correlation that a Democrat would find sublime.

It would seem if it's kosher to call voter suppression that doesn't actually directly target people by skin color "racist" by correlation of those who it has practically effected, then it needs to be fair ball to look at these trends, and ask, "Why?" Sometimes there are matters of policy at stake. Sometimes there are matters of culture. I'm reminded of those who insist it's racist for merchants to more aggressively maintain vigilance against blacks, and yet when the rates of shoplifting per capita are presented confirming how much more likely merchants are to face "shrinkage" from blacks, this will be ignored by many who previously insisted the merchants were being racist.

However, before we get to the why, it's important to first establish an ethnic correlation to this phenomenon. This is anecdotal. Statistics would be interesting.

Those fucking DEMOCRATS at it again!

 

[RoosterHucklebuck]

Are there any videos of white people doing this? I always hear the excuse, "Well white people commit crimes too" So where are all of the "Flash Mob" videos of white teen kids(or young adults) ransacking stores and being violent? Since there are 5 times as many white people, then there should be at least 5 videos or stories that someone can link to.

 

[Madmick]

Stay on topic. This thread isn't a green light to hate on black people.

It documents the existence of a trend, and asks why is this so (apparently) distinctly subcultural? What history exists that we can blame? If there is none, then, perhaps it is time we examine so other possible culprits of cause, and look at whether or not these can be addressed by government.
