  • mass pillow fight.. pure epicizm

  • The police probably send in provocateurs to make sure it gets out of hand. They always do that.

  • CBS sucks...because it's not NEWS!

  • @WW2medalsNpatchesME - yeah that makes sense...those two black guys are the leaders of all the blacks & all the blacks do as they do. When will you few remaining Nimrods lose this pre-historic-dinosaur-romper room-captain kangaroo type of reasoning. i mean the brain is an amazing instrument if you would only use it. I know a lady who told me all the horrible things the white men in her southern town growing up would do to her, her parents & her brothers. She's now married to white man 20 years!

  • where i come from . in philly . its call a flash mob people . where yall from is called a riot or a gang fight .

  • we live in a POLICE NAZI STATE

  • The words "Parenting and personal responsibility" are not in the Negro vocabulary.

  • Just more proof the Negro ruins everything. Shoot the violent turds.

  • blk ppl always cause trouble and pussy when sht happened.

  • its just kids and teenagers with no parents who have nothing better to do..

  • Do you see, they want to pollute the idea of a flash mob as dangerous, sinster, angry, or inciting violence. More propaganda to using and raping words in order to control. People with their black white talk are very much so missing the point. thats divide and conquer. This is all a ploy to hide the real truth....we are all one.

  • these geico commercials are getting stupid. just stop it.

  • There are over 1 million Black residents in Philadelphia. At most a few thousand have participated in Flash Mobs. This is a very serious issue but let's not act like this is a Race War.

  • I only wish they would target the politicians who have allowed them to breed and create these cess pool. Wait until a politician with balls stops this bs. You will see rioting then.

  • Time to wage war on these thugs....rubber bullets, tear gas, and water cannons.

  • why when a bunch of blacks get together and beat up whites, break stuff and steal shit its called a flash mob. but if there were a bunch of whites beatin up blacks, breakin shit and stealin stuff its called a riot and a hate crime?

  • Ignorant people (no race mentioned here, if you do something it does reflect the race involved as a whole) perform anti-social acts and the newspeople screw it up! This is CLEARLY not a "Flash Mob" just a mob of jackals!

    A "Flash Mob" is not out to incite rioting or perform hooligan acts. I believe the level of education you have creates who and what you are! no matter your creed or color.

    I too am appalled at the news people for saying "unruly teens" how terms more befitting?

  • If blacks could only use technologies they actually invented, the world would be a much quieter, safer place; e.g. subwoofers and cellphones. Dumb apes with technology are just dumb apes with technology.

  • Comment removed

  • i knew flash mobs were going to go bad but I knew it was going to be this bad.

  • I'm from the illest part of the western hemisphere

    So if you in to sight seein don't visit there

    It's somewhere between Jersey n Delaware

    PHILLY never scared and the niggas aint timid there,,,

  • check out violentflashmobs. com

  • Why are they doing this? Just to spite the curfew?

  • UNLESS U PPL R FROM PHILLY LIKE ME... U DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT A "PHILLY FLASH MOB " IS INFACT MAYOR NUTTER JUST PUT IN A 9 0'CLOCK CERFEW... we dont do that dancing SHIT we rob, riot, anddestroy buildings but then the flash mobbers get all the free shit

  • @esmith4646 lmao look up what a flash mob is. To call it a "Philly Flash Mob" just to attempt to justify your stupidity does not make it a Flash Mob. I could call me going grocery shopping a Flash Mob, but that doesn't mean it is one. Get a fucking brain. If a Flash Mob does not leave people sitting there with a smile on their face, it is NOT A FUCKING FLASH MOB. I have never seen so many people not knowing what they are talking about since 9-11 conspiracy theorists.  Philly Flash Mob = GAY

  • @justininbangor hahahaha, yeah, misusing terminology designation kills the proper meaning entirely

  • @AntDX316 Oh this one has just been a hoot calling people out on their ignorance. I keep waiting for someone to say the wrong thing again so I can ask if the Watts Riots where the first Flash Mob since I am sure that some people got involved and met outside suddenly because they saw it on TV and heard someone say Come to such and such a street. And then I am sure some idiot will try to convince me that since it was broadcast on multiple channels that means it ISN'T a form of Multi-media.

  • @justininbangor yeah

  • People who are defending the beauty of Flash Mobs, sorry, you're going to have to find a new name, because the concept has been taken over by thugs. Too bad for you. Maybe get more of a life, or organize some other way.

    Stop acting like restricting flash mobs is such a tragedy. Of course, it IS Freedom of Assembly, and its the crime that makes it a problem, but uneducated morons are a problem because this is what republicans wanted to create - a subrace.

  • Put all the criminals on an island a thousand miles from land and give them all the guns and knives they need and let'em kill each other off. That'll fix 'em.

  • @Wanda7771 or create Australia

  • “You have damaged your own race” - Mayor Michael A. Nutter

  • Lets see.

    1: Yes it was a group of people

    2. They assembled suddenly in public .

    3. The act was unusual and pointless. (unless you think it is usual for people to act like this or it had a point.)

    4. Often for the purpose of entertainment not always. If the definition said always for entertainment then this would not fit, but it said often. Meaning sometimes it is not for entertainment.

    5. This mob was organized via telecommunications.

    So this fits every element of a flash mob.

  • @jsriley3245 Once again someone showing they are as ignorant to what a Flash Mob really is as the people that reported this story.

  • @justininbangor Nice come back douche bag.

  • @jsriley3245 LMAO comeback? That wasn't a comeback it was stating the obvious.

  • @jsriley3245 - well you need to check the sources of your definition...because it is fairly new terminology and the aspect you seem to leave out is it never involves intentional violence on people...period!

  • @ReyLoo I would ask for you to give me your source of the definition, but I won't for two reason. One you can't and two who the fuck cares.

  • Definition:

    A flash mob is a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual and sometimes seemingly pointless act for a brief time, then disperse, often for the purposes of entertainment and/or satire. Flash mobs are organized via telecommunications, social media, or viral emails

  • @jsriley3245 False. True flash Mobs have a certain level of choreography. Flash Mobs are not violent as these ones were reported to be. Your just an idiot. It's ok. And for a faggot that likes to run his mouth, you ran to that "Ignore User" button like a little bitch lol

  • @justininbangor Talking like a true internet tough guy. Its funny how people like you project things that are true about themselves onto other people. Reading your posts make me feel sorry for you. You clearly were bullied and abused throughout your life and the internet is the only why for you to vent your anger. Yes I hit the ignored user button. Why would I allow a grown man access to my page only to post childish remarks. I would say things will get better for you, but they wont.

  • @jsriley3245 Answer: You can't handle someone that can call you out as the mindless idiot you truly are?

  • @justininbangor Blah blah blah. Again get a life loser. This "idiot" has more degrees and more money then you could ever wish to obtain. You can have the last word because i know that arguing on the internet is the only means you have of feeling like a success since your an obvious failure in life. All anyone has to do is look at those pathetic videos you posted.

  • @jsriley3245 LMAO You talk about videos yet have none posted? Wow that was a complete epic fail on your part. And "degrees?" Sorry but Graduating from McDonald's University isn't a degree. I like when you respond because all you ever do is contradict yourself. You clearly don't understand the mentality of a Flash Mob because you are just a miserable person that couldn't be happy on the best of days. I actually feel kind of sorry for you.

  • @justininbangor One last thing. Saying your right and other are wrong proves nothing. You have to support your argument with facts. Saying "this is what a flash mob is because i say so" is not proof. I looked up the definition of a flash mob, posted it, and demonstrated how what happened in philly meets each element. Thats proof. take care.

  • @jsriley3245 First off, if you need to look up the definition it shows you don't understand the full mentality needed for the Flash Mob to really be a Flash Mob. The mere "I know the definition " because I looked it up, shows a clear lack of understanding. Flash Mobs have a mentality that can not be placed solely on that. There is a certain "Emotional Context" that is always part of that mentality. The crowds response is a huge part of the Flash Mob Mentality.

  • @jsriley3245 Why not actually type "Flash Mob" in the Youtube browser. Look at them. Look at the reaction of the crowd. See how they feel like they are part of something special. THAT is the main point of a Flash Mob. It's not so much about the people in it, but the people affected by it. Apparently a soulless automaton such as yourself can't understand that. Again.... I feel sorry for your ignorance. (Quick now.... get your dictionary to look up what I just called you.)

  • Real life imitating poor art.

  • i hate to say this but one day one of those kids are going to get killed. Then you will see the parents saying that there kid was a good kid or a parent saying "why dey do that to my baby." These kids are also messing with Philly tax revenues. I hope no one loses there life over this type of nonsense

  • Typical jiggaboo mentality. 

  • Notice how the media never mentions that all the violent flash mobs usually are 100% black.

  • Now this is just the silliest news report I've ever seen... further reinforcing why I do not watch most news programs these days. Complete trash.

  • @WW2medalsNpatchesME why are you walking around with beer cans?

  • this is a riot!

  • The streets are ours. Police should fear the people, the people should not fear the police.

  • Typical americans fucking up was is supposed to be fun.......

  • @WW2medalsNpatchesME - yes we have the resources - it's called the national guard if the locals can't handle it. also it does not matter what color the president is or what color the criminals are...you commit the crime do the time. trust me the prison companies are cleaning up money wise and would have no problem opening up more facilities if needed. again, mobs of people attacking folks or destroying property those are rioters that need to be arrested... flash mobs are for entertainment.

  • fukk tha police!!

  • wow i think the snowball one was just retarded its just a snowball fight

  • Welcome to the New World Order,Welcome to 1984,Watch Police State 2000,Police State 2,3 & 4.You need to know why police are behaving this way,illegal checkpoints,black opps raids on sherrifs offices,out of control cops being hired if their IQs are lower than 100 points,It's all crazy till you learn the truth.Watch them here on youtube,ten yrs of police training millitarisation,illegal foreign troops training on US soil against US citizens in times of unrest.Do yourself a favor and learn this!!!

  • @WW2medalsNpatchesME im not joking so please dont be a smartass this kinda stuff is happening in just about every city in the usa your truthfully going to tell me ur not scared?

  • Type in "Flash mob robbery"

  • so its a flash riot?

    a riot mob?

  • I compare flash mobs to Nazis

  • this is a riot. not a flash mob. when attacks become violent they are riots.

  • LOL!!! My man at the 1:24 mark is not playing....and i could not agree more with his sentiment. I have no problem with FLASH MOBS...think it is cool and fun...but if folks involved start taking part in behavior that attacks public safety...arrest them and actually i would say make an example of them. If you want to FLASH MOB for fun have at it...but with that right comes the responsibility to be considerate of your public co-horts around you and their rights as well.

  • Say hello to my little friend...click click pull

  • Did any one notice that every one involved in the fighting was black

  • send the jungle bunnies back to the forest

  • Flash Mobs Relate To Dancing eventually this is a "fight" mob y'all so stupid

  • this is not a flash mob

  • thats a riot or gang fight. not a flash mob.

  • lol its not just teens that do flash mobs... And the was not a falsh mob

  • Martial Law....an old fascist solution to the cyber age!

  • Dear CBS.... That was not a "Flash Mob" A "Flash Mob" is a group of people with a preset dance or idea that everyone works on. A "Flash Mob" is not 200 people saying let's all go here and just stand there" That's 200 people that have no life. There is a HUGE DIFFERENCE. Flash Mobs make people leave the unsuspecting audience a moment to smile when they least expect it. THAT is a Flash Mob. The report you did was on an organized riot. Learn the difference

  • @justininbangor A flash mob is a group of people that use the internet to organize a group of people. What the mob does is up to those people, but it is still a flash mob. Regardless of what the do it is still 200 people that have no life. I don't see flash mobs in china. Why? because they are busy going to school and working instead of do gay group dances. Your adults GROW UP!

  • @jsriley3245 always love hearing from people that post no videos and just use Youtube to try to make a statement.... especially when they try to say your wrong only to say the EXACT same thing you just did. Perhaps instead of just writing something you should actually watch the video and see that CBS had the definition wrong. What they were discussing was not a Flash Mob.

  • @justininbangor First off I didn't say the exact same thing you did. Oh wait i mean EXACT. I forgot to put it in caps like a 5 year old. You said this isn't a flash mob, I said it is a flash much. Its EXACTLY the opposite of what you said, not the same. By the way I'm sorry I didn't upload cool videos like you. I didn't know that was a prerequisite in order to comment. Your a 38 year old loser posting videos of video games and wearing a mask Get a life or a girl. Just keep the mask on.

  • @jsriley3245 Again little ass rape baby... This is NOT a Flash Mob described in this report. Watch it or keep making comments showing your complete and absolute ignorance to what the fuck you are talking about. As for loser... I have a gf, have probably fucked more women than you have your siblings and don't pick fights on the internet when I can just as easily go out and pound the fuck out of little faggots like you in real life. Get a life and learn that ignorance is NOT bliss.

  • @justininbangor Your so scary. I'm sure your made up girlfriend is really hot. I would love to continue this circular argument with you, but I have better things to do. I have to go a choreograph our dance moves for our next flash mob. After that I have to go and get ready to start my 3rd year in law school. I have a lot of work to do since I'm so dumb. Have fun banging your imaginary girlfriend, just remember to leave the mask on so you don't scare her.

  • @jsriley3245 Third year of law school and the first thing he does is show his failure to review evidence. Your pathetic words hurt me so badly. Probably went to Law School to try to sue the people that ass raped you in Junior High even though you liked it. You also apparently missed the irony of the mask in that particular video you so love to refer to. It's OK. I wouldn't expect someone that really only has a second grade education to comprehend it.

  • @justininbangor You said "A "Flash Mob" is a group of people with a preset dance or idea that everyone works on" Looks like a groups of people with a preset idea to me, but what do I know. I haven't posted any videos.

  • @jsriley3245 And again keep showing you didn't even watch the video. notice the words "preset dance or idea that everyone works on." As in Flash Mobs are planned. They are choreographed performances. A Riot is not a flash mob. It's a riot. There was no choreographed fight scenes. Henceforth.... once again this is not a Flash Mob. Would you care to continue showing your ignorance?

  • @justininbangor ummm.... hahah thats what a flash mob in PHILLY IS CALLED U IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!! IN PHILLY THEY DONT DO THAT DANCING SHIT THEY DESTROY AND ROB STORES

  • @esmith4646 that is called a riot. Some day people will get that through their thick skulls. Even attempting to call this a flash mob shows a severe lack of intelligence. So congats esmith.... you showed your lack of intelligence by fully comprehending what a flash mob is and the mentality needed to be labeled as such. Just because you use multi-media to plan a robbery or cause a riot doesn't make it a flash mob. That just makes you stupid since those are the easiest ways to track people.

  • @justininbangor sorry dude but that was a Flash mob

  • @GuiltyFaT wow so many uneducated people...... Once again, it was a riot. There was nothing Flash Mob about it besides people using multi-media to organize a crime. that would be like saying the Mafia or a gang using multi-media to co-ordinate an attack on a rival would be a "Flash Mob."

  • @justininbangor, a "flash mob" with enough ghetto scumbags (i.e. low-I.Q. blacks) will tend to become a riot one way or another. You can thank them for changing the original definition.

  • @justininbangor dear dumbass....A "Flash Mob" is any kind of gathering that sparks up from out of nowhere. no matter if they are dancing, rioting, jacking off or whatever. A "flash mob" isnt defined by a bunch of people dancing. its defined by a bunch of people (mob) that seemingly comes out of nowhere (flash)

  • @ryantweedle Dear uneducated moron.... A "Riot" is a group of people that tend to spontaneously gateher to rob, loot and injure people. Again, another person that does not understand that a "Flash Mob" has a goal, and it's NOT solely for those participating in it. "Flash Mobs" are used to get a reaction from spectators. God so many people that have no idea what they are talking about seem to come here to show their lack of intelligence and understanding. You sir are the dumbass.

  • @justininbangor A flash mob (or flashmob)[1] is a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual and sometimes seemingly pointless act for a brief time, then disperse, often for the purposes of entertainment, satire, artistic expression or—in some cases—violence.....Straight off wikipedia. what you dont understand is that the term flash mob has NOTHING to do with what the people do, it has EVERYTHING to do with how the gathering sparks up suddenly (flash).

  • @ryantweedle Wikipedia..... IE an encyclopedia written by regular people, usually rather uneducated, such as yourself. So the definition as you would have it would state that the Watts Riots of 1965 was the longest lasting Flash Mob in history.... Fucking moron

  • @justininbangor - Justin don't waste anymore times on people like "ryantweedle" who seem to enjoy bathing in anti-critical thinking & ignorance galor! He is obviously set on ignoring the abuse of media and reporting that is happening here. I mean did this guy just seriously site Wikipedia as his source? Anybody with more sense than a freaking walnut knows we already have terminology & language for what this was in philly-the word is RIOT. To associate it to FLASH MOB is superfluous & dumb!

  • Uh CBS? Thats a "RIOT" not a "FLASH MOB" stop trying to take one of the few pieces of freedom and joy left that humanity already shares across the globe by saying Flash Mobs are Riots and trying to regulate and control them. This has been going on for 7 years around the globe and nothing has happened and its interesting that now after 7 years that "America" or and "American Network" due to its unpredictable public nature has to regulate and control something thats meant to be spontanious.

  • When done correctly, a flash mob is a display of how awesome things can be when people work together for the sheer joy of the experience. This news clip is NOT about a flash mob, it's about some random gang fight that just broke out in the streets and has nothing to do with flash mobs.

  • It was just a normal street brawl.

  • 56 people can't dance at ALL.

  • they are doing it wrong!!

  • crazy black people

  • notice how they were all black... just sayin

  • Come on CBS dont let this flash fight ruin it for the rest of the the fun flash mobs

  • flash mobs are when a bunch of people flash together to do something funny or strange in public... like freezing in place or dancing.. not rioting.

  • CBS....my dick.....suck it

  • this is not a flash mob. how stupid of you cbs.

  • Comment removed

  • this definitely isnt a flash mob... i guess its a mob in a flash, but its certainly not a flash mob..

  • looks like the goverment is scareddddddd ... POWER IN NUMBERS - these people r idiots tho

  • Terrible, Niggers can't even be in a group without acting like monkeys.

  • this would happen FIVE times in Philadelphia

    but seriously Pennsylvania don't ruin it for the rest of us! keep it fun

  • Wow, all these so called experts blabbering on like they know wtf they are talking about. FBI tracking flasmobs. LMAO. Tax payer dollars hard at work employing people who couldn't get a job coaching high school track...

  • flash mobs arent supposed to be at night, so the curfew wont work and also philly blows

  • did anyone notice the flah mobs fight all involved niggers ?

  • Two words: Police State

  • Comment removed

  • B People ruin everything!!!

  • fail mob

  • the only flash mob i saw on there was a quick 1 second clip of "the single ladies"... CBS... get some youth on your crew

  • Looks like a ghetto mob to me...

  • fail, not even a flash mob...

  • @robbpeppertree

    No, not really

    In other countries women dont have a say in what can happen

    And guess what? In most other countries you probably wouldnt be open to what religon or anything that you are you would have to be born into it.

    By saying america sucks you are saying that canada, USA, and Mexico suck too.

    Maybe you should consider what you write.

  • @robbpeppertree So do you.

  • This report is a bit misleading. Next CBS news will call candlelight vigils, protests, and morning train commutes "flash mobs".

    It's the dancing that scares the old people XD

  • This was not a flash mob more like a gang battle zone seriously don't asociate flash mobs with such tom foolery. I'm black but not ghetto i hate blacks who act like caged animals nope not defending these monkeys go ahead racists of youtube enjoy.

    Ugh now its going to be hard for me to get people for my flash mob son of a ghetto bitch.

  • You had em, you raise em, you take care of em.... they come to me,I got sumpin elso fo em...

  • ok all the violent footage was of black people. must be a coincidence 

  • did ANYONE notice that all these people were GHETTO?

  • Comment removed

  • fuck it, cbs are just dumb commercial noobs

  • Those are more like ghetto mobs - not a flash mob. Press just loves to put a bad spin on everything. How rediculous...

  • I am older and know little about such things, but this is why I have a CCWP and carry pepper spray. I've seen others and it looks like fun, but when mobs turn violent, the police can really do little about it. If you folks police yourselves, by all means have a blast. But have a brain too. We all have to try to live together and I'd hate to have to use violence against anyone, but if my wife and I had been there when that happened, no ones life means more to me. Be safe, have fun, don't do harm.

  • wow. People chill! its only fun. it just got messed up...a little

  • 01:12 He got left out, and now wants revenge!

  • The typical Yank would fuck yer Honda rice burner ass up quick like. Both barrels my ass. Long range head shot is more like it. Wanna troll that?

  • Typical Yanks , a fucking boil on the face of the planet ,we need to lance that fucked up place

  • Macbthm --What's "a disgusting thong"? An obese woman in a bikini????

  • Hahaha America shows how awful you are. It's good to be a European ^_^

  • Well now we know that flash mobs don't work in black community's

  • What were supposed to be fun sick people made it a mass and a disgusting thong. Peace not war, come on dont be fool

  • Wow those aren't flash mobs...

  • fox news interpretation of reality for the benefit of the status quo ?

    remember the Boston mooninite blinky "bomb" scare,

  • What most people dont realize is...the really big flashmobs that make the headlines and stuff....the people who organize that have permission...thats cops dont stop hundreds of people disrupting traffic or causing a scene in a big crowded area.

  • CBS = TV for old people.

  • Boston, New Jersey, and Philadelphia, they're all shit holes, what did you expect?

  • Really! Come on! It's not just teenagers doing it - let ppl have a little fun once in a while. God knows we need it!

  • Welcome to Philadelphia

  • lol all shitty cities

  • This isn't a flash mob, this is just a regular mob.

  • Flash Mobs are not meant for violence - ppl who do this are not about the real Flash mob phenom.....a few idiots ruin everything......Flash mobs are about diverse ppl coming together PEACEFULLY for FUN!!!! get it right people!!!

  • The problem is that they are black. White flash mobs: singing, pillow fights, and dancing. Black flash mob: riots, looting, and violence. It's their "pack" mentality.

  • @nitrox28 guerillas do run in packs.

  • we call them riots lol x

  • In west philadelphia born and raised........

  • Only would CBS and the main stream media try to compare a Flash Mob and a Riot as the same!

  • @WVU1981 hey look do you live in philly? well i do and this crap is nothing to joke about these young teens here are out of control and its getting scarey to just walk out ur front door at night anymore and also a flash mob can also mean a group of people looking to cause trouble IE riot the reason y its used for a dance thing was to give it a nicer name other then riot

  • @WVU1981 - typical LIBERAL media....using their influence to provide the local government with a set of proverbial wheels that misleads an ignorant public into thinking that all gatherings must be large scale. violent uprisings...Hey CBS, Riots ARE NOT flashmobs...not surprising that, after sensationalizing the story, you jump to the illogical conclusion that the only way to handle these "flashmobs" is to sic the govt authorities on it...Fuck you CBS for delivering that story...bunch of idiots

  • @bcpianoguy What are you talking about "sic the government authorities on it"? That's what the police are for moron.

  • flash mobs are music and dancing, mobs are evil and fighting they have 2 entirely opposite intentions

  • You've got to be kidding me ... CBS, You're supposed to be JOURNALISTS! Get your facts straight. The "Flash Mobs" do NOT engage in violence or law breaking!

    To equate them with the mayhem and rioting in Philadelphia is totally absurd! You need to correct this "story", and make the distinction between "flash Mob" and "Fight Mob"!!

  • Notice how it was mostly black kids fighting

  • This could only be considered a flash mob if the only fighting they did was the fight scene from West Side Story. Which gives me an idea...

  • wow CBS, stop pretending like you know what a flash mob is

  • @kepper55 come to philly pa on a summer weekend and say that

  • Just goes to show you stupid our media are.

  • fuck this ain't flash mob media look for your own fuckin word flash mob for us is flash mob fuckin happy not what your pay fuck you fuck

  • This story didnt sound right at all... I think they ment something else!

  • What an stupid-ass newscast, clearly that's just a straight up mob. Maybe if they broke out into dance as they were fighting each other I'd consider it as a flash mob.

  • lol, typical news scaremongering

  • It doesnt matter, you cant have the lower and middle class gathering with such ease. Big Brother is watching you.

  • That's not a flash mob. Flash mobs gather and dance or freeze in place or do something else all at once. I've been in flash mobs, and there would have never been any need for police involvement in any of them. I mean, I guess you could do a fighting flash mob that includes attacking people in their cars...if you're stupid.

  • ok wtf this is ridiculous
