When you think of WalMart, do you typically think of crime? Just Google 'WalMart crime' and you'll pull up a number of website and stories with crimes that have occurred in and around Walmart. Here is a screenshot of a SpotCrime crime list of a few WalMart crimes Scary? Or typical? To put things in perspective, there are about 629 WalMarts and 3,029 super-center Walmarts in the US today.  Each WalMart employs about 225-350 associates and the size of the average store is approximately 108,000-185,000 square feet. If you were to place all of the WalMarts in the US in one city, it would cover about 22 square miles (that's not even not including parking lots) a size equivalent to cities like Longmont, CO and Madera, CA .  However, the employee population of the WalMart city would much larger than Longmont or Madera, it would be approximately 1, 201,675  people - about the same size as Dallas, TX or San Diego, CA - and that doesn't include the customers!

The term 'flash mob' was coined back in 2003 and has been used to describe a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place (normally a mall or food court) to sing or dance and then disperse suddenly. If you aren't familiar with the modern day  flash mob , I recommend a quick YouTube search or check out the video below. It can be pretty cool to get stuck in the middle of one. Recently and rather quickly, it appears the modern day flash mob has mutated into a 'flash rob' .  Flash robs occur when groups of 10 or more people suddenly begin terrorizing businesses, store employees and average Joe's and then disperse suddenly, before police can arrive.  These flash mobs are not very fun if you find yourself in the middle of one. Most of theses flash mobs have been targeting retail or convenient stores.  The mobs are able to make off with more loot in faster time than the normal criminal.  The mobs are normally done long before police can arrive.
