Rapper could face charges tied to flash mob calls
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- A rapper could face criminal charges after a tweet from his account incited a telephone flash mob that overwhelmed the emergency phone system at one of busiest stations of the Los Angeles County sheriff's department, the agency said Saturday.
The sheriff's department alleges The Game tweeted the Compton station's phone number Friday and told his 580,000 followers to call the number if they wanted an internship.
Phones at the southeast Los Angeles County station started ringing at 5:23 p.m. Friday, and the lines were jammed by hundreds of calls for more than two hours, prompting authorities to bring in additional help. Many callers hung up as soon as someone answered, while others asked deputies about a music internship.
During that time people with legitimate issues that included a missing person, spousal abuse and two robberies were also trying to call in, department spokesman Steve Whitmore said.
"Yall can track a tweet down but cant solve murders!" the tweet said. "Dat was an accident but maybe now yall can actually do yall job !!!!"

Well, MAYBE part of what's keeping them from doing their job is COMPLETE SELF CENTERED IDIOTS LIKE YOU, keeping them busy with stupid BS like this!
And BTW, if you read the whole article, like Anthony Weiner, first he claimed he was hacked, and THEN he claimed it was an "accident."
In other words, he's so stupid, he didn't think the cops could find a tweet. Moron.
I hope he gets jail time for this stunt. Someone could have really needed help from the police while he was pulling this irresponsily childish stunt.
Morons like this just make my blood boil.
