As for the teenagers, who can blame them? While I'm not excusing what they did, the people they're supposed to be looking up to for guidance have more less said fuck them. So they figure an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, given how hopeless their futures seem.
These flash mobs have also been happening in Chicago and Philadelphia if you've been paying attention to the news. Expect the trend to continue and even become worse in Detroit as more cuts are imposed on the neighborhoods while downtown's growth continues subsidized.
