As much as I like spending time with them, they verify why I got snipped and don't have any of my own.

Because you can't handle responsibility, Ba-zing!
Anyway, back on topic, my point is that "running away" wouldn't work much of the time for me. Standing over the kids like a Grizzly with the pistol at the ready would.
Caucasian kid getting beat up by mob of non-caucasian kids = no news story. Nothing to see here folks!

I'm going to carefully disagree with that Tuna. My father drilled it into us kids, and I've drilled it into mine. THAT voice. When dad said "frog" in THAT voice, you leaped and did your best to look green. Same with my kid, and admittedly, I only have to herd up one.
But there are just times that finding a nook and hunkering down are just better. A running target is still a target. An out of sight target isn't. I'd rather hunker down in a spot that is defendable than running to an unknown place etc.
EDIT: A panic'd crowd is a VERYdangerous place to be. Look at all the Black Friday injuries/deaths from crowding a lot of (stupid) people into a small space then opening the flood gates. I think I'd rather find some place to "ride out the storm" rather than being in the middle of it.
I figure my chances of getting caught up in this sort of flash mob are about equal to my chances of being hit by a meteorite, so I'll plan for it accordingly.

So... kevlar body armor, 2 shotguns, a kitana, flash grenades and ... what am I missing? Oh... a TARDIS and/or timey-wimey shifting screwdriver thingy.

Well, you're missing your primary battle rifle and 6 spare mags, sidearm of choice (preferably that carries 17+) with 2 spare mags, Molle vest, dropleg holster and your kbar.
Jeesh, you forgot a lot noob. Those Zom.... er... mobs would have overun you in a flash!
You forgot Claymores. Anti-personnel mines will adjust anyone's attitude.
Tom put out a good point about this E36 M3 erupting around you......its about the same difference as being an unarmed corrections officer on a recreation field with over 600 violent offenders who just decide one day that the blacks and mexicans want to kill each other and the white gangs trying to stay between them to maintain order. You get to a safe place if you can, but sometimes that just cannot happen. It took about 100 armed staff an hour to get that mess under control.

Also a grenade launcher, and a mount to use the kbar as a bayonette.

kbars are for Bob Costas. If you can't wield a two handed great sword you have no business trying to massacre an oncoming throng of movie extras.. er I mean ... flash mob.
Repeat after me.... "What is best in life?":

Not sure about that, I mean the company literally got its name from how a guy KILLED A BEAR with one of their knives.

Funny how that works.....
In reply to Giant Purple Snorklewacker:
Ohh I do enjoy hearing some Lamentations.
Lamentations and wailing!
I will admit that my initial thought when watching the video was that to clear ones personal space a sword would probably work better than a bang stick.... But I grew up on a steady diet of Dungeons and Dragons.

You also are probably remembering obedience at a much older age. Mine are 6, 4, 3 and 1. Yell as much as you want. It is not happening.
Heard the story on my radio today. Rumor is they got "most" of the kids involved.
Wonder what sort of sentencing we can look forward to

Yup, I was herding cats when mine were at that age.

So this is what you would need to look like in the event of this case?
If they were toddlers I know the answer. Grab the closest one by the ankles and swing the like a club through the rest of the pack.

No need for the silly robes. You can wear fur. Who is going to tell you otherwise? Some cleaved in half-motherberkeleyers... that's who.

But that guy is wearing leather armor......berkeley all that, go with the chainmail armor.
