I don't understand why the media doesn't cover all the flash mob attacks made by the dozens of Hispanics, Indians, or Asians that gather together in packs and swarm victims like animals. Its like they ignore the ongoing trend to make it seem like it doesn't really happen among members of those minority communities.

I don't know, that bastion of reverse racism, NPR, covered it over a year ago:

I'm using iOS, so I don't get to see flash mobs.

Seriously though... what?

Just do as the Israeli's would, shoot 10% of them and hope that this will inspire enough fear for the rest to submit to authority. Problem solved. Its sound thinking and clearly works great so why not copy such a tried tested and proved method.

Police continue to claim these are isolated incidents, feral packs of teens demonstrate otherwise.

Let me see if I understand your complaint correctly. The "mainstream media", and the police, have decided to NOT draw broad conclusions about an entire ethnic group based on the actions of a miniscule percentage of them, and the word you chose to describe this behavior is... "racist"?
