re: Flash mob hits designer store in Georgetown, steals $13,000 worth of goods

Ah, a large group of young people.


So descriptive.

quote:

---

Some in the Georgetown area started using the app service in February, 2014 after the business organization — Georgetown Business Improvement District — worked with police in the District to launch it. The service called “Operation GroupMe” was meant, some in the area said, as a tool to try to reduce shoplifting in the area. Georgetown is one of the nation’s poshest shopping districts.

But a look at the bulk of the correspondence over a nine-month period of those using the service had some people expressing suspicions about African Americans. About 90 percent of the photographs that were put up showed blacks. And there were descriptions in offensive language.

The perfect way to dispel stereotypes that people of a certain demographic are more likely to steal is obviously to show up and steal stuff.


Infallible logic.
