It's been called wilding.  It's been called Polar Bear Hunting.  It's been called "flash mob" attacks.  No matter the name, the acts pit groups African-American teens attacking innocents, usually non-blacks.  The groups descend upon random people and savagely beat them and then the hooligans run off, laughing at their senseless mayhem. 

It happened in the past weekend on the campus of Temple University in Philadelphia.  A number of students were treated and some hospitalized following the senseless, unprovoked attacks.

So, how many more "flash mob" attacks by will happen before the mob's victim selection luck breaks down and young choirboys and choirgirls start assuming room temperature?

Eventually, they are going to attack an armed concealed carrier, or they are going to carry out one of these lynchings—defined as a punishing a person without legal process or authority, often as an act of bigotry—in front a of the residence or vehicle of someone who has firearms and the will to use them in third-party self defense.

When that armed citizen pulls a weapon and starts putting bullets into the feral youths carrying out these attacks, it is likely going to be viewed as a legally justifiable action if the citizen who opens fire can reasonably articulate that they felt they were in jeopardy of being seriously injured or killed, or if they can articulate why they thought that they had to shoot to save the life of of a victim of one of these lynch mobs.

The attack carried out by these violent youth against Christina Lauletta, as described by her father Joe Lauletta, would almost certainly justify the use of deadly force against the thugs holding her down and stomping her. It wouldn’t matter that they were “unarmed.” It wouldn’t matter if they were 12 years old, or 17. The armed responder cannot know your age. The armed responder can only judge you by your actions and your perceived threat against innocent life.

When you participate in violent, potentially life-threatening mob actions against your fellow citizens and civil society itself, you open yourself up to the risk that your victim or a third party may intervene using deadly force.

Here's the story from the UK Daily Mail about the Temple University attacks.

'These sick animals held her down and kicked and stomped on her': Father's anger after flash mob of 30 to 40 teens beat his daughter near Temple University

(UK Daily Mail) – Four teenagers have been arrested after mobs of juveniles staged a series of vicious attacks on students around the Temple University campus.

Police said students were surrounded, punched, kicked, robbed and in some cases knocked to the ground in a spate of attacks by groups of teens on Friday night.

Packs of between 20 and 100 young people roved the area near the university campus in northern Philadelphia for nearly two hours from 8pm and picked on people at random.

Six students were injured and a university police officer was hurt when he was knocked over. A 15-year-old boy also punched a police horse in the face.

In a separate incident, a young woman was left covered in bruises after she was held down and stomped on repeatedly before employees from a nearby pizza restaurant intervened, her father said.

Another student, a junior, posted pictures of her black eye after she was beaten. 

She says the attackers punched her in the face as she walked back to her apartment with her boyfriend.
