Entitlement 'flash mob' steals $30,000 in merchandise from outdoor wear store (video)
2019-07-05
PLEASANT PRAIRIE ‐ Police are looking for what has been characterized as a "flash mob" of males who entered the North Face store at Pleasant Prairie Premium Outlets Monday, taking more than $30,000 in merchandise from the business.

The incident happened at 7:45 p.m. Monday at the store at 11601 108th St., Suite 577, when "10 black males entered the store and each grabbed as much merchandise as they could carry before running to the cars and leaving the property," said Sgt. Aaron Schaffer of the Pleasant Prairie Police Department. Items included jackets and other articles of clothing. There was no physical confrontation.

Schaffer said the suspects, who remain at large, were in the store for approximately 20 to 30 seconds before fleeing the scene.

The theft occurred about an hour before the store’s regular closing time.

#8  I'm just shocked. Simply shocked that the little darlings would do that.

#7  And, lets understand. Any "flash mob" is the result of coordination via electronic communication. It's criminal conspiracy. Make it RICO and put the carriers on the hook too it they don't turn over all pertinent records on the jump. And career death penalty for any LE or court officers who try to act like they "don't have enough actionable material to make a case."

#6  I think it's Columbia that has the old mom CEO and son sidekick who are commies. North Face I think is just a front end for sweatshop manufacturing in China and Vietnam. Either way, white people wearing it are signalling they are (in their own minds) "better than you." The mob kids will look very out of place wearing that stuff back in da hood. But it's probably not the coppers' biggest problem there, so don't expect much remediation.

One would think this is a great opening for someone to write an AI routine that watches a store / brand's occurrences in anti-social media and automatically locks the doors.

#5  The mall is located just a few miles north of the Wisconsin-Illinois border. Perhaps some urban yoots were on a road trip?

#4  The racial makeup of the village was 94.08% White, 1.45% African American, 0.39% Native American, 1.38% Asian, 0.02% Pacific Islander, 1.03% from other races, and 1.64% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 3.37% of the population.

That should be easy to pick them out. North Face makes good stuff, but is a "Progressive" Company, so suck it
