They put Black Friday shoppers to shame.


A mob of adolescents stormed into a Diesel store in Georgetown on Tuesday and rushed out with about $13,000 worth of stolen goods, D.C. police said.


More than 20 people described as "juveniles" by cops flooded the designer clothing store at about 6:45 p.m. and swiped four leather jackets off the racks -- each priced at about $800 -- and took $12,000 more worth of merchandise, authorities told the Daily News.


No arrests have been made as of Thursday, police said.


The theft took place more than a month after retailers in the upscale Washington, D.C., neighborhood came under fire for allegedly racially profiling black shoppers with an app used to tip police and other stores about potential shoplifters, the Washington Post reported.

I went to Georgetown for Halloween. It was hard to find a Caucasian anywhere on the streets. Mostly blacks, hispanics, and middle easterners. I can imagine the scene at that store. No way in hell to prevent it unless a cop just happen to be inside the store.

That most annoying phenomenon that sees Youth of Color wearing their pants hanging halfway down their asses emanates from the shoplifting of Pants. Now they do it on purpose cuz they consider it a Gangsta Move but initially it was due to Moms or whatever other thief being unable to steal the proper size of pants.

When I saw the headline, I was wondering if the story would mention the Georgetown police-app.

So what came first? The hooligan flash-mobs, and the associated behavior/culture --- or retail owners, trying to protect their business?

Chicken or the egg?
