Mob Of Teens Steals $3K Of Jeans From Wicker Park Store
CHICAGO (CBS) – A mob of more than 20 teenagers descended on a trendy Wicker Park shop on Saturday and made off with more than $3,000 worth of jeans.

They are getting better organized and using the power of numbers to confuse and steal. Since it is hard to catch them all or even defend yourself against them.

Some parents say it is toy guns that make boys warlike. But give a boy a rubber duck and he will seize its neck like the butt of a pistol and shout "Bang!"......George Will

Correction, production of jeans that might cost $2 and then sold for $200.

So tell me why $20-$40 video games are in a locked cabinet but $200 jeans (which are frequently stolen) are not chained to a rack?

These mobs are becoming the new trend and they need to come up with a method to deal with these cases. As a customer, I would be a wee bit afraid because the violence is going to escalate as it does when they feel they need for more of a "thrill".

They blurred the faces of the flash mob, so they couldn't be sued for showing them on TV without their permission.

A famous rapper appeared on a video in "nudie jeans" so they are in high demand. The shop owner plans an event around "nudie jeans" August 9th, but he will have police security.

Police security to sell jeans.

Only in Chicago.

It's time for a ban on rappers. They are banning everything else in this country, why not ban those obnoxious fools? After all, all they "rap" about is dope, booze, violence, stealing, killing.....well, you get the idea. Is it any wonder our youth is the way they are? The rappers are their teachers!

They are more of a bad influence than video games. If it wasn't for that pesky 1st Amendment and personal responsibility.

The police could try one of those stings. Advertise that if you were one of the people seen in the video that the news showed just come on down to fill out a report and identify yourself in the video and we'll take care of you. But, alas, it is the Chicago police. If they started locking up all those folks who would vote for Rahmbo Dead Fish in the next election?

Because we all know that our influential politicians should be the role model ;-)
