Crowds are dangerous and people are insane.

The proper application of firepower can solve numerous problems...
Crowds are dangerous and people are insane.  Fact.

I avoid large gatherings of people like the plague.  Maybe I'm secretly anti-social, maybe because they make me nervous...maybe because I keep reading stuff like this.  Read the it all here (with videos) but the juicy parts....
On Christmas Night over 600 kids and teenagers swarmed a movie theater in Jacksonville, Florida violently attacking moviegoers, an off duty police officer, and each other in one of the largest flash mobs to date.
Somewhere around 600 crazed teens swarmed the theater attacking people and stealing everything in sight. 62 police officers were dispatched to the theater, where they had to fire pepper spray into the crowd to get them to disperse.
And then this...
At the same time, another flash mob swarmed a mall in Brooklyn, New York. In this case, over 400 teens stormed a Brooklyn mall violently attacking security guards, shoppers and each other. Local reports say that while part of the flash mob was violently raiding stores around the mall, another large group of teens strategically targeted innocent shoppers as part of the now infamous knockout game.  According to police, the teens in both areas used social media sites like Facebook and Twitter to plan the violent attacks and mass looting events. Even while events unfolded, teens were still taking to the internet to brag about beating up innocent people and looting stores.
We talked about the appropriate firearms and the rounds carried.  In my opinion if you aren't planning on facing off against multiple attackers then you're fooling yourself.

And if you're still a movie goer or mall shopper you're in denial.  Hangouts for the younger set are just breeding grounds for stupidity and criminality.
