Things like this is exactly why I believe people should carry. I am in my 20's. I understand that social media can be used and law enforcement is not always around. But my question would be, how does one monitor social media in order to prevent crime? And since any of us can be around when one of these flash mobs happens, how would you handle it?
Would you try to stop them if they aren't hurting anyone physically? I believe that would be my limit. If I saw a mob hurting someone, I wouldn't feel right not helping.
