Smoke em if you got em.

I would not be suprised to read this happening at the State Fair of Texas given the neighborhoods around the Cotton Bowl area. These mob attacks seem to be happening with greater frequency and it does not appear that there is much LE can do about it.

But at the Texas State Fair, at least there is room for personal protection unless you're going specifically into the CottonBowl...
The last line of the quote can be interpreted as you see fit. Personally, I view it as a positive comment, given they allow CHL holders in with their weapons - the fair itself becomes a much safer experience :)

"What about concealed handguns?
A person holding a valid Texas Concealed Handgun License (or valid CHL from a reciprocating state) is permitted to enter onto State Fair property with his/her concealed handgun; provided, however, that CHL holders will not be permitted to carry their concealed handgun inside the Cotton Bowl Stadium, a facility defined under Texas Penal Code 46.035 as "the premises where a high school, collegiate or professional sporting event or interscholastic event is taking place." Note that the Fair does not provide lockers for the storage or checking of weapons for CHL holders, so if you plan to attend a game or event in the Cotton Bowl, please secure your weapon at home or in your vehicle prior to entering the fairgrounds. We want the Fair to be a fun and safe experience."

...I don't believe they're organized...there're just that many in any crowd who will rise up and riot...if they think they can get away with it...a looter's mentality...when the LEOs are busy, they'll do what they've always wanted to do...

I can think of a "community organizer" with lots of funding and other resources.

Flash Mob..
I'm betting there's text messages linking many of the evil-doers in these cases.

Texans are less inclined to put up with such crap, and a lot more of them are armed.

Exactly! I am thinking this would have lasted maybe about 5 minutes at the Texas State Fair.
