Flash Mob Opinions

Opinions required! I'm researching flash mobbing for my final year geography dissertation at the University of Nottingham and need the views of people who have participated in one or more flash mobs. If you're one of these people I would be very appreciative if you could take just a few minutes to complete my questionnaire. There's a chance to win a £10 iTunes voucher! Just follow the link below, thanks.

Flawed Legal System

The fact that a pool owner could be held liable for drownings of trespassers is ridiculous. This legal system is majorly flawed.

It reminds me of a story where a burglar trying to break into someones house fell off the guys roof, broke his leg, sued the homeowner, and WON!

Only in the US...

Because the pool owner is liable for all drownings...

Either the pool owner must prevent unauthorized use ( attack dobermans/shepherds around pool ), OR

the owner must do penitentiary time for any drowning that happens in their pool, as a result of such activity.

The law, is the law.

( as for Phobos,
it's a felony to point a firearm at someone, in many jurisdictions )

Shocking

It's only a matter of time before someone throws a live extension cable in their pool before they head off on holiday.

No brainer

If I had a pool, I obv must have money to buy a cheap colour camera. Id just tape the pool. Im sure if you give enough clear tape evidence and a few of them get grabbed by the cops it would bring the whole activity to a halt, especially if everyone started doing it.

To Phobos: The problem in doing what you did is that a single firebomb through a window would cost you more then a cleanup after a pool-attack. People that do these things dont think like normal people.

I welcome it.

I caught a bunch of kids 'dipping' in my pool a year ago over here in the states. Needless to say, I was pissed.

So i did what any logical man would do in a case of blatant trespassing: Pulled out my tweaked (600FPS) airsoft rifle and started shooting these youngsters. Now, there are reasons most airsoft events are limited to 400FPS guns: The skin starts to break over 550FPS. These kids were literally crying as they stumbled off my yard, fearing for their lives (which they had every right to do).

It was pretty funny, and I knew they wouldn't go to the police. I haven't had a problem since.

INQ Poll

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
