Crimes have led to food deserts, in other urban areas. Oh! You would be racist to predict demographic of perks, before viewing news video.

Flash mob causes havoc at Walmart

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -Flash mobs are known across the United States as a group of people, dancing, having fun and enjoying themselves while entertaining others.

However, the Wal-Mart off Lem Turner Road in Jacksonville fell victim to a flash robbery when more than 300 people entered the store and destroyed the security system as well as some merchandise.

According to the police report, the group destroyed an electronic anti-shop lifting security scanner that costs about $1,500. The police report also stated the massive crowd could have arrived at the store after a party that was broken up on Sampson Road.
YouTube video showed the teens throwing food and merchandise around the store.

One more reason I don't go to Wal-Mart.

Jacksonville is too tropical and populated to house a desert.

Interesting food desert map. The riots in Britain were flash mob. They communicate by text, twitter etc and pick a location and go to it in overwhelming numbers. Would be scary to me. Here is Time Magazine about flash mob robberies.
