Threats based on movie taken seriously by police

You are exactly right. They should be building teamwork and small unit integrity the old fashioned, west end way, utilizing modern technology and social media to gather en'masse at a predetermined starting point or "final line of departure". Then, proceed to rob, plunder and pillage to their hearts' content. By now, it should be painfully obvious to anyone, that they have nothing to fear as far as legal repercussions. Personal responsibility is as dead and outdated as the archaic notion that one should actually have to work for what you desire in life. The young people today have to learn that you get what you want by threats and the implementation of force, up to and including serious physical injury and death if appropriate. For example; say that you and your compatriots are enjoying your evening constitutional through Waterfront Park. You observe a woman, sitting on a park bench showing you audacious disrespect, callously flaunting her advanced status by holding a cellular device that she paid for with her own hard earned money. "How dare she" says you. So to prove your point and teach her a valuable lesson, you proceed to take from her what is rightfully yours and to further drive your point home, you emphasize her transgression by delivering a well aimed and well deserved shot to the chest from your Hi-Point 9mm. Then, as you and your entourage casually egress from the vicinity, you have to suffer the further indignity of being profiled and harassed by the local constabulary. How vulgar and demeaning. You should follow the fine example set forth by the "Misidentified Four". Call Jan and have him, help you, get yours.

I think you are exaggerating just a little. They don't have to travel all the way to Great Britain and join the Royal Marines to serve with out the terrifying threat of unreasonably loud voices.
