Notice they never mention what racial group make up the ?Bash Mobs.? The LA Times openly admits they have a policy of censoring the race of crime perpetrators so they don?t ?stigmatize any one group.??Apparently?there were a bunch of mob attacks in Long Beach, CA on July 9th that didn?t get any publicity. The LA Times is only talking about it now because the attacks dramatically escalated after the Zimmerman verdict.
Posts on twitter, many invoking Trayvon Martins name, were calling for a repeat attack on Long Beach for Friday afternoon. A Trayvon Martin protest had been planned for the Long Beach courthouse around the same time.
From LA Times?
Organized ?bash mob? crime rampages of roving groups attacking innocent people and businesses have been striking cities around the United States. Law enforcement agencies in Southern California have reported few similar problems ? until now.
In the last several days, there have been several reports of such group crime waves in South L.A., Hollywood, San Bernardino and Victorville. Long Beach police are bracing for another one Friday.
These so-called bash mobs of ?flash mob? crime waves are organized through social media and have been a problem in Chicago, Philadelphia and Washington. In April, 28 Chicago youths were arrested on suspicion of attacking pedestrians along the city?s famed Magnificent Mile. Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn signed legislation in May enacting stiffer penalties for people who text or use social media to organize mob attacks.
Long Beach police warned in a statement that participants could face severe penalties.
?The mere participation in such an event can result in felony charges including conspiracy, and are punishable by imprisonment in the state prison,? according to the statement.
Police said they feared bash mob organizers planned to hit Long Beach at 2 p.m.
