http://baltimore.cbslocal.com/2012/05/24/flash-mob-steals-from-baltimore-7-eleven-beats-store-manager-who-tries-to-stop-themA nationwide 7-Eleven free Slurpee giveaway brought 35 to 40 kids into the Light Street store around 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
“It was a lot of kids and they were out of control,” Kesha Chester, who was at the store at the time, said.
While some kids lined up for the free Slurpee, witnesses saw other kids raiding the candy shelves.
“They went in, they started going everywhere in the store, grabbing things and then they just run out. And I knew that they didn’t buy it because they just run out,” Kendra Mellerson said. “They ran that way and they ran that way. And the guy was trying to come out and stop them but they couldn’t because there was so many.”
After some kids ran away, a store manager blocked the door to keep the rest of the kids from leaving. But those kids got so mad that the door was blocked, they started punching the store manager.
“Yes, they really started hitting that guy and he couldn’t keep getting beat on so he eventually let them out. And then they just ran,”
