Flash Mob, How Do You React?

The Night Rider said:
I'm not sure this is a smart response either.

My wife and I never eat out anymore but we had a rule that if either one of us told the other "I need a cigarette" (neither one of us smoke) we dropped whatever we were doing and left immediately. That would be an "I need a cigarette" moment.

Apologies in advance to those of you who are going to tell me how I'm not very civic-minded. But that would include being Witness. "I didn't see anything." "I didn't hear anything." "I have no idea what you're talking about."

WRT the poster whose family was approaching the store as the thieves were walking out, if they had any brains at all they turned around, went back to their car and left.

Always a good idea to have a code word or phrase to put your people on alert. :thumbup:

Pre-planned actions to such an alert, like setting your silverware down and leaving the restaurant without delay, is best.

Stay safe.
 
Reasonable response how so? WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO AGAINST 50 THUGS WHO DECIDE YOU ARE THE WRONG COLOR???? Will you tell them you post on the high road and you are ready for all situations good luck with that one buddy. Ever been in a real firefight that your squad just happened into?
 
Well you go your way and I will go mine I have seen murphys law in action so do for you and yours the best way you can me/ I have been there and done that but you could tell the thugs that you post and give advice on the high road I imagine that might get you a pass good luck.

You said you would "worry about that when it happens". To mount a reasonable response rapidly, it's important to "worry about it" in advance.Exactly. You would need to know that information ahead of time--which you won't if you wait until it happens to start thinking about it.

I am not in the habit of giving free advice I have worked around too many who know what to do because they say so but when it hits they are looking at the 1st sergeant me and asking what do we do? Like I said murphys law is about what you get with the best laid plans you do what you gotta do there are way too many scenarios to map out a solution that covers all of it

ALRIGHTY THEN! Ace Ventura Pet Detective

Never gonna happen to me... never can tell but if it does happens to me... 95% sure I'm suddenly the only white guy there.
Demographics in my AO don't support this kind of social action. I don't live in a Democrat run, big city crap-hole.


Anyway... hopefully they're here for the free stuff only.
I head for the vehicle... slowly, deliberately, and with my right arm down straight... covering my weapon.
I have a service dog, and she's an 89 pound German Shepherd, so the crowd should give us a wide birth.

Off topic. The question was about what one might do in the event of a flash mob robbery---not about what to do "against" a bunch of thugs.

387 posts and scanning over a few pages of them some kinda look like free advice.
That said, I'm not getting paid for my invaluable contributions. ;)

If a "flash mob" shows up were I'm shopping I'll try to avoid them.

Correction: The subject has to do with a flash mob "hitting the store".

That implies shoplifting, not robbery.

One good option would be to get out of sight and/or out of the store as soon as possible. It would be useful to think about such things in advance so you can check on alternate exits and places in the store that would let you get out of sight until the "flash" is over with.

Again, it's not about "mapping out a solution that covers all of it", or even a bunch of solutions to cover every possible option, or even one detailed solution to cover some of it. The idea is to think about the situation in advance so that you can collect any information you might need ahead of time, have useful tools available to you, and so you can get started doing something potentially useful if things do turn ugly. You don't want to have to do all the decision making in the middle of a stressful situation, and if you haven't thought about it in advance, you will be at a disadvantage. People tend to make better decisions when they are not under a lot of stress. As they say in the military, PPPPPP.

The military trained you in advance so you would have some general principles to follow if you ever got into a firefight.

During that training, did you ever get upset and tell your trainers to leave you alone and that you would "worry about it" once you were in the middle of the firefight? Did you tell them it was a waste of time to think about it in advance because there was no way to "map out a solution that covers all of it" and that it was BS unless they could tell you exactly who you would be up against in advance? Somehow I doubt it. And, when you were in that real firefight, I strongly suspect that you were quite grateful that there had been some thought about what to do in advance so you and your squad didn't have to figure everything out on the fly.
 
Think the big picture: it is wrong to kill people in order to protect the profits of Woke Corporations. It is also stupid to put your life on the line for any Woke Organization. The Woke want you to protect them, fight for them, kill for them, and die for them. They want you to be their useful fools, and that is how they think of the MAGA that protect them, and of the MAGA they use up in their Woke Wars.

Another universal is that we are not in it all together. You owe yourself, your family, your friends, and your “collective”, but you sure don’t owe anything to Woke Corporations or Woke Organizations. Killing those committing property crimes against Woke Organizations is wrong, and you should not be pointing your guns at those committing property crimes, because the real criminals are in mansions on Malibu, the Hamptons, London, or sailing on their billion dollar yachts to their pedophile islands.

So over priced fashion products leave the store, so Eve St Laurent loses a few handbags and over priced shoes. So what! Their overseas slave laborers will make more for the fashionable Woke elite. And maybe, just maybe, Flash Mobs will add a bit of capitalism in the market. What do you think these guys are going to do with this stuff? They are going to sell it at a discount. Someone out there is going to get a great price on a new I phone.

Now that is sticking it to the man.:cuss:
 
Generally, I would try to leave the area. I like to assume I will be with my nuclear family. In that instance, my priority is getting us out alive. It isn’t saving others. Once clear, I would not go back. If I cannot leave, then I am hiding and holding it as a defensive position. From there, if there’s a chance to leave, I will take it and will not be concerned with saving others with me. I will use all the tools I have available to achieve these outcomes.
