I don't know if this has been posted or not here already (if so then please merge/close thread-thanks)....
In Stephenstown, NY; over 300 [mainly white] teens/young adults broke into a large home. There was extensive damage totaling more than $20,000 as well as things being stolen. Here are the articles:

Now, if it was 300 black or latin kids who broke into somewhere and vandalized, destroyed and robbed the place then public opinion would've been drastically different. Most ppl see this as a cutesy little innocent event and most opinions are along the lines of 'teens will be teens' and 'they're just having fun'. The homeowner themselves actually went out of their way for arrests not to be made of the flash mobbers. This is a great example of a double standard.
So what is your opinion on this?
