Something like this would almost have to be coordinated in some way at least a time and location would have to be shared. I am assuming that at least some of it was done via text and cell phone work and that will leave a nice trail for the cops to follow maybe even leading to a ring leader. Of course it could just be a word of mouth deal passed around at school but I'll bet there are some text messages out there. Technology is really just an extension of the spear it can be used to feed your family IE as beneficial or it can be used to kill your neighbor its just a tool its the person that makes it evil of good (or neutral).

but with the worsening economic situation I see this less as an isolated incident than a Preview of Things To Come.
those future events won't be Flash Mobs ... just plain old Mobs of hungry and desperate folk.
and the targets of such future incidents won't be corner stores, but Wal-Mart.
and it'll be interesting to see how the 'sides' divide between the 'Robin Hoods' and the 'Sheriff's' and so forth ...

It will be almost exactly the same. The havs will be for the sheriff and the have nots will be for the Robin Hoods. Of course the sheriff will have the greatest propaganda medium ever developed and that is the media. Oh and people will be shot over it as it will be called looting.
