Flash Mobs Of Teens Are Wrecking Havoc On Temple's Campus, Are Attacking People In Droves

North Philly - Four juveniles have been arrested in a series of violent incidents Friday night near Temple University’s main campus in North Philadelphia. According to Temple security, a group of over 150 juveniles coordinated a “meet up” on Instagram, amassing on Broad Street near the campus at approximately 8 p.m. Four youths, ranging in ages between 14 and 17, were arrested in connection with wide-ranging attacks on Temple students, others in the crowd, and two Temple police officers that seemed to mimic the “flash mobs” that hit Center City in recent years. In one incident, police say a group of three that included two students were assaulted by a group of about 20 juveniles. The trio were kicked, punched, and knocked to the ground. One 15-year-old, who police say was seen throwing rocks at passing cars, knocked an officer pursuing him on bicycle to the ground. He was later apprehended and charged with aggravated assault and resisting arrest, among other offenses. In probably the most brazen act of violence, police say a 16-year-old came up to a mounted officer and punched the police horse twice in the face. Police later apprehended him and charged him with assaulting a police service animal.

What the hell is going on down there? This is some seriously scary shit. As if students and law-abiding civilians didn’t have enough to worry about wandering the streets after dusk in North Philly. Now hundreds of teens are organizing themselves like a Goddamn Thug Militia by the hundreds and attacking innocent people in the streets. Strutting hammered and alone at 3 am isn’t the smartest play in the book, and doing it in North Philly is essentially a death wish. This was at 8 freaking PM. This type of horrific stuff shouldn’t be going down in this city. Shit, it shouldn’t be going down in this civilization. Head on a swivel, Owls.

One thing’s for damn sure, the 16-year-old punk who decided to give the ol’ one-two punch to a defenseless police horse. Who the does that? That Thouroughbred should’ve turned around and kicked that fucker into orbit. Directly to the kisser. What’s right is right.
