BART takeover robbery: 40 to 60 teens swarm train, rob weekend riders

quote [ BART police are beefing up patrols at Oakland stations after dozens of juveniles terrorized riders Saturday night when they invaded the Coliseum Station and commandeered a train car, forcing passengers to hand over bags and cell phones and leaving at least two with head injuries. ]

Are we dystopian yet?

I'd report these as at least 40.

It'll be interesting to see a follow-up. Forty to sixty teens - how would you even organize something like that?

With social media, of course.

There will be facebook video of the whole thing, then. And twitters, too.

Plus some of the stolen cell phones should be locatable via software.

If memory serves me correctly, you start by feeding them gruel and teaching them to sing.

The "follow up" that you were interested in appears to involve burying the footage:

"To release these videos would create a high level of racially insensitive commentary"

"Forty to sixty" was translated from the original Icelandic term "fucking fuckload." Exchange student.

You'll be attacked even if you don't get off the train.

this robbery was an epic fail. 2 bags/purses were taken, 5 cell phones.

This is also not the first time this has happened on bart despite what the article says. it has happened before but not with so many people.

So, despite sounding a little snarky in my inquiry here, what is the concealed carriers plan in a situation like this, beyond having their gun stolen and winding up in the hospital with a concussion or in a coma?
