So there has been a new trend of using things like Twitter to start riots. I know it might sound far fetched, but think of a flash mob, but instead of pillow fights or standing still in train stations, the group is committed to vandalism and raising a ruckus. Makes me wish I was a kid again.
When the Greek riots were poppin off last year, Twitter was used to organize the chaos. Soccer hooligans use them to arrange brawls. After the Moldova election in April, Twitter was a part of the protests and riots. Just recently the Philadelphia police blamed Twitter for a mob of over 100 teens that were stealing cars, vandalizing stores, and overpowering law enforcement. Clockwork Orange was never quite like this.
If anyone finds any good vids, hit us up.
I guess it can go both ways tho.
