Flash mob attacks gaining popularity

And not in a good way:

Similar attacks are also being investigated in cities likes Los Angeles, Chicago, Cleveland, Washington, D.C., and Milwaukee, where 30 people were arrested after alleged mob attacks erupted at the Wisconsin State Fair on Aug. 4. At least 18 people were injured in or around the grounds, including seven police officers, authorities said.
Attacking cops; fractured skulls; this goes beyond simple robbery. Many are asking when the US will have riots like Britain, but I think we've had them for some time now. The natives are pissed off, and they're acting out against whomever they encounter on the streets. I don't care if it's racially motivated or not; a group of thuggish kids cracking skulls for any reason is a deadly threat.

the exact reason i favor the xdm 3.8 in 9mm. 13 in the mag and 1 up the pipe. i might not be able to take down 30 but i'll get an A+ for effort.

Chances are that after the first one goes down the rest will scatter. But yeah, makes the extra hassle of carrying a double stack feel worthwhile.

"Chances are that after the first one goes down the rest will scatter." That's my thought, too. Just in case though, I want to have plenty of rounds on hand as well.
