A huge house party broken up by police in a North Jacksonville subdivision didn’t end there Saturday night as hundreds of young partygoers ignited a flash mob at the Lem Turner Road Walmart Supercenter.
They caused havoc that was recorded and posted on YouTube until Tuesday afternoon, while one person reported being shot during the party.
The Sheriff’s Office said investigations into both are “active and ongoing.” The shooting is being investigated by the aggravated battery unit detectives while patrol officers follow up on the Walmart incident.
Walmart spokeswoman Dianna Gee said she learned of the incident Saturday night, then spoke with the shift manager at the 12100 Lem Turner Road store. She said the YouTube video is being reviewed, and that the employees did as they were trained by steering clear of the chaos and calling police.
“The actions of these teenagers was deplorable and put at risk the safety of innocent bystanders, staff and customers,” Gee said. “We are committed to assisting law enforcement in any way we can to identify the people responsible for the commotion, including acts of vandalism and thefts at the store.”

It could have been a bunch of obama’s sons
What do you wanna bet if this was a white mob, the video would not have been pulled. It is no longer accessible.
No one had to see the video to know the element that was causing trouble. And don’t hold your breath until the cops do anything about it to a single one of them!
Political Correctness is the major problem in the United States. People are afraid to speak out about these riots by hundreds of black American youths. Note I use the term “Black American Youths” not as the politically correct would say “African American Youths”. These rioters are not African, they the dregs of American youth. Maybe prominently black at the moment. But watching American youth at the moment is frightening. They have never learned discipline. Those who get onto TV are mainly very rude. They were not brought up in the ways of American youth from the past 200 plus years.
Unfortunately the country in a fit of political correctness elected a political activist of the worst kind, with absolutely no qualifications as President resulting in a department of Justice which is closer to the KGB that anything resembling an American DOJ. This results in little or no action to combat this chaos, that suits their ideas to change the American way. How we will survive through to 2013, who know. I just feel if he is re-elected. Goodbye land of the Free, hello United Soviet Socialist States of America. We already have California.
