It's a fair cop: I dun it

Isegoria has video where the Montgomery County (MD) police sit back and watch while a flash mob loots a 7-11.  Commenter Monarch asks the question di tutti snarky questions:
Hey! Who edited all the white and asian folks out of the security video?
Monarch, I cannot tell a lie.  I removed a bunch of white folks from Montgomery County (MD): myself and the kids.

I guess it was good practice for editing some white folks out of Massachusetts.

Note to actual working people stuck in Montgomery County (MD) and Massachusetts: there's a whole big country out here that won't stop you from protecting yourself.  Come on down.  Yeah, the Usual Suspects™ will call you redneck racists; they're out of options, other than name calling.  Don't pay it no nevermind.

I edited myself out of that county, too.

Yes, come on down to Texas, will get you work doing something. Try out Austin not as big a culture shock that way. Help us "Keep Austin Weird." Austin's kind of like MA, but with guns.

I think that is the store I used to work at.

Isn't Montgomery County where that big SEIU protest at the banker's house was held last year? The one where the police similarly did nothing, and were reported to have escorted the SEIU thugs?

(search... search) why yes it is!

GB is correct... Loved the cops (lack of) response...

This is the county in which the cops used night vision scopes to see which drivers were not (gasp) wearing their seat belts in order to ticket them. The seat belt law, which the legislature had promised would only be a secondary offense (the cops gotta see you doing something else wrong first), had recently been made a primary offense, and MontCo wanted to cash in. See, the cops there are good for something: collecting money for the dumb crap the lying politicians want to fund.

Whenever I hear or read "take something seriously" my brain automatically substitutes "ignore"

Yeah, glad to have you in Texas. I'm not a born Texan either - in fact, I grew up in Rockville. But you know where THAT is... Loved it back then in the 50's 60's, but times sure have changed.

Flash mobs in Austin? It could happen - remember that Austin is defined as '35 square miles surrounded by reality'. Hope you live more in the 'reality' portion of the State. Things are changing out here too, but at least for the near future I doubt there will be much in the way of flash mobs outside of fairyland.

Flash mob? Organized crime, more like it. Of course, why should we expect anything less. Our nation has established the standard that effort is no longer required to get stuff. All you have to do is want it, protest for it, and someone will take it for you at gunpoint and redistribute it to you. These 'disadvantaged urban youth' are just cutting out the government middle-man.
