What is missing from this story is that the participants in flash mobs and bash mobs are overwhelmingly members of one particular race. The problem has been much more widespread than this article acknowledges and despite the racial components of these attacks, neither our Justice Department nor our Golfer-in-Chief have done anything to start a "national discussion" on black racism directed at "whitey." As long as black rage produces white victims, our federal government and national government see no problem. Let the roles of the races be reversed in even a single instance, and Obama would be addressing us about another "national tragedy."

'Bash mobs' sweep through Southern California

Organized "bash mob" crime rampages of roving groups attacking innocent people and businesses have been striking cities around the United States. Law enforcement agencies in Southern California have reported few similar problems -- until now.

In the last several days, there have been several reports of such group crime waves in South L.A., Hollywood, San Bernardino and Victorville. Long Beach police are bracing for another one Friday.

These so-called bash mobs of "flash mob" crime waves are organized through social media and have been a problem in Chicago, Philadelphia and Washington. In April, 28 Chicago youths were arrested on suspicion of attacking pedestrians along the city's famed Magnificent Mile. Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn signed legislation in May enacting stiffer penalties for people who text or use social media to organize mob attacks.

Long Beach police warned in a statement that participants could face severe penalties.

"The mere participation in such an event can result in felony charges including conspiracy, and are punishable by imprisonment in the state prison," according to the statement.

Police said they feared bash mob organizers planned to hit Long Beach at 2 p.m.
