In light of both of those areas a good friend of mine forwarded a link to an article relating not only to that situation but other recent one's of the same nature and I found it to be more than worthy of just a link,,,,,
The Flash Mob Attack - How To Defend?
Gabe Suarez - WARRIOR TALK NEWS 06/26/2011
COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) -- All eight suspects are in custody after a brutal attack in Five Points early Monday morning which left the teenage victim in critical condition, according to Columbia police.
CHICAGO, IL (WLS) -- The recent series of mob-style attacks on Chicago's Near North Side mark the first major hurdles facing Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Chicago's new police superintendent Garry McCarthy. The latest attack happened Tuesday night. A witness tells WGN 15-20 teens beat and robbed two people at Chicago and Wabash
AKRON, OH -- Out of nowhere, the six were attacked by dozens of teenage boys, who shouted ''This is our world'' and ''This is a black world'' as they confronted Marshall and his family.
NO. VIRGINIA -- Three people were beaten by mobs in Northern Virginia in two separate incidents that occurred within five minutes of each other on Saturday night, authorities said.
These events have consumed the discussion at most self-defense focused websites in the last few weeks. Accompanying the discussion is the usual hand wringing regarding what to do if one is beset by a gang of thugs bent on your destruction. Well, I have my views on this which will no doubt shock the senses of the Doodley Doo Rights of the gun world.
First, this was not some group of young teenaged honor students. In all cases it was a group of urban thugs. Second, they were not there to practice for their debate on the ills of capitalism. Third, they understand only one thing...violence. So understand who they are and be ready to speak their language.
1). Don't go to stupid places with stupid people to do stupid things. Simple but often ignored. Listen, we do not live in a fair world where everyone respects everyone else. Nor where everyone gets along. You may in fact be totally color-blind in a socio-ethnic sort of way, but not everyone is. So even if your liberal sociology professor thinks it is a cool thing to take a stroll at midnight through a ethnically homogenous part of town (different ethnicity that you), it is still a stupid idea.
2). Always have a method to defend yourself. Even if it is not socially acceptable, or in line with the rules of the day, having some sort of weapon is essential. Right about now, some of the Doodley Doo Rights are screaming that I am telling people to violate the law. Well, go and google these stories. Look at the faces of the victims...specially the one on life support right now. Put yourself in their shoes. Your choice is to arm yourself in violation of the rules, or to take the raping, beating and robbery? What would you choose?
3). Avoid if you can. If you are standing around and see a group of twenty young urban thugs about two blocks away yelling, "kill whitey", and looking at your reflection in the store window, realize that you have not been in the sun in a while, here is my advice - "RUN". If it looks like trouble, it probably is. The gang is not there to debate the effects of american corporate expansion on the development of the urban neighborhoods with you.
4). If you cannot avoid, attack...brutally and viciously. This is not the time to worry about some goofball fear monger's articles about being sued, nor about anything of the sort. It is time to deploy your weapons and attack the leaders. Listen folks, there is disparity of force by the sheer number against you and the knowledge you have based on these prior flash mob events.
If you have limited yourself by the rules and only have a knife, be certain you know how to use it. Make it big enough that it will cause extreme pain and bleeding when you stab the attacker. This is not the place for a legally carried tomato peeler that is two inches or less. You need a fixed or folding knife that is at least 4 inches long.
When the time comes, do not flash the knife like you are some crocodile dundee type guy ("that's not a knife"). Stab the first man deep and hard in his face and move to the next guy and repeat the exercise. Do the same to anyone within reach. When their buddies reel back, screaming in horror and pain, holding their bloodied faces with eyeballs hanging out, it will create hesitation. Use that time to disengage.
If you have a pistol, please make sure it is a modern high capacity weapon with a couple of spare magazines in your belt. The Suarez International company gun, a Glock 17 with three magazines, yields a sum total of 52 rounds. Figure three rounds per man, and you can reduce an angry mob of panga swinging killers into a fleeing group of bloodied bad guys. Draw it and yell, "Get The F*** Back!" If they do, run away. If they do not, shoot the first man in the face. The rest will take care of itself.
It really is very simple. Might you get into trouble? Sure, but being in jail because you stabbed three guys on the street is far better than being in the hospital having holes drilled into your head to relieve the pressure on your brain while the female members of your party are getting HIV exams in the next room. The only way to defeat brutality is with extreme and greater brutality.
Keep that in mind, arm yourself properly and if it comes, be brutal.

Better tried by 12 than buried by 6.
Well stated and to the point Opie.
Great post. Too bad there are so many folks who don't have such a firm grasp on common sense, especially as it relates to self-defense. Thanks for sharing.
FMP,,,Your comment is the entire reason I re posted this piece by Mr. Suarez so that they might get that firm grasp you speak of and thank you for mentioning it.
I think this was the impetus I needed to finally decide to get a gun.
Christopher. Excellent Post. Avoid if at all possible, defend anyway you can if forced, using a gun being your best option. As I tell people - If you're in a situaiton where you need a gun, a gun is the only thing that's going to do you any good.
And the cops doing the CC training said "A lawyer follows every bullet out of your gun. If you use it just say I was sure my life (or my family's lives) was in danger".
Karen,,, Wise decision in any event but please consult one in the know so you can get the best weapon(s) and training for your personal circumstance(s).
Good advise kid. Laws differ in all States obviously so all should become very aware them no matter where they live,,,
http://gunlawguide.com/ (Covers all 50 States)
But no matter what an investigation into any shooting will occur so be armed with knowledge as well.
Rule #1 is the most important.
Carrying a gun and knowing how to use it is important as well, but it's more important to learn non-lethal (or less obviously belligerent) tactics.
<span>"Better tried by 12 than buried by 6" is easy to say and it's a true statement, but in many liberal states you will end up in prison and your family on the dole. </span>
I recommend carrying a tactical baton and learning Krav Maga.
Check out this information about the attack on restaurant patrons in Philadelphia.
This post mentions attacks in Northern Virginia. I live in Northern Virginia and haven't seen a peep about these attacks! WTH?
Good advise as well Silver but as with all weapons such as a tactical baton's and knives there are laws to be aware of so all should consider them first.
That said, when out-numbered a gun is vastly considered the ultimate equalizer and then of course there is the old line; "Never bring a knife (or baton) to a gun fight".
I add that last part as surely the opposing force will indeed possess guns.
To All; Silver mentions Krav Maga and for those unaware, a quick link Krav Maga
AOW,,,Sadly for a city with the moniker "Brotherly Love" this is not shocking. Philly has been known for years to be a hotbed of crime and violence.
More on Northern VA,,,,,,

Three people were beaten in Northern Virginia in two separate incidents that occurred within five minutes of each other on Saturday night, authorities said.
One of the victims, a 31-year-old man who was delivering pizza, was robbed and severely beaten around 10 p.m. in the 14100 block of Mathews Drive in the Woodbridge area of Prince William County, police said.
In the other incident, two men, one 35 and one 47, wer
e attacked nearby, in the 14400 block of Jefferson Davis Highway, police said. They escaped with minor injuries, according to police.
Five attackers were involved in each incident, and descriptions indicated that they were between 16 and 20 years old.
I was in Chicago last weekend, saw about 30 "urban" youths filing off the subway station, cusing and acting like something I've never seen before, my inner voice said run, but I was afraid of looking stupid. Without even thinking, my inner voice won and I took off in a flash down the block and bee-lined for my friends apartment. Found out five days later (took that long for the media to report on it after bloggers heard of the news from police reports) that that same gang of "urban" youth started to attack Asians, Hispanics and Whites. I'm so glad that I have some street smarts. Do not underestimate your inner voice.
