This seems to be what The Sovereign individual is talking about. This quote hits the nail on the head.
Merchants, parents and police are scratching their heads trying to explain the explosion of violent flash mobs. The city's new district attorney, Seth Williams, says it comes down to the proliferation of computers and cell phones.
"Before, it was just you tell someone to meet you somewhere — if there was a fight you meet them at the school yard," Williams says. "Well now, instead of just 10 or 20 kids at most knowing about something, now you have 1,000 kids showing up at an intersection. And that's a problem that we as law enforcement have to try to deal with."Computer/microprocessors increase the capability of individuals, making it more difficult, that is expensive, for government to maintain control. "Police have created a special rapid response force." which they didn't need before.
I do love Mayor Nutter's comment
"Parents have a responsibility here, so we will do all that we can. I ran for mayor, I didn't run for mother," he announced. "I can't take care of everybody's child."If you provide education, food, and housing; you are acting like a parent. Why not leave discipline to you as well?
