A flash mob of up to 40 teenagers has rampaged through Hollywood, knocking down tourists and stealing phones and other items before police moved in to arrest them. Police said Hollywood Boulevard was targeted on Wednesday by the gang, who had organised themselves "to riot" through social media. Emergency calls reported that youths were robbing people and stealing t-shirts and other goods from businesses, mainly on Hollywood Boulevard, said police lieutenant, Ray Valois. Up to 40 people may have been involved, with the gang splitting into smaller groups and reforming as they looted people nearby, Valois said. Twelve people - all but one under the age of 18 - were arrested and none lived in Hollywood, he said. Eleven were held on suspicion of robbery and one for receiving stolen property. Police commander Andrew Smith said it was believed that the youths took advantage of a redeployment of police to Los Angeles' Crenshaw District, where violence had broken out the previous night over the acquittal of a Florida neighbourhood watchman, George Zimmerman, in the shooting death of an unarmed black teenager, Trayvon Martin. http://www.aljazeera.com/news/americas/2013/07/201371811139291255.html What?

If the tourists had been 'packing heat' this never would have happened! |

"Bash mob" certainly sounds more apropos. |
