The so- called “teen takeover” trend expanded this past weekend when a large group of “teens” headed to Clearwater Beach and immediately began attacking people before it ended with gunshots. The police chief had this to say:
Deputy Chief of the Clearwater Police Department, Michael Walek, held a press conference around 8:30 p.m., where he said the incident was organized through social media and that it happened because of a “bunch of kids acting like kids,” claiming that this kind of incident would not happen again.
Kids shooting each other is actung like kids? That’s because it’s “teens”

It will happen that such a group will attack a family where someone must try to defend them, and the mob will suffer the consequences.
I can only hope that the prosecutor recognizes that a mob attack, even if the mob is not armed, is a lethal attack, likely to cause death or grevious bodily harm, and decline to prosecute.
That police chief sounds like those from Baltimore, Chicago, or St Louis in their failure to address the main problems.
