In summary, "New Yorkers become a mob for fun" describes the behavior of large groups of people in New York City engaging in chaotic or destructive activities for entertainment purposes. This behavior is not unique to New Yorkers and can be observed in other cities as well. The potential consequences of these gatherings include property damage, injuries, and arrests, which can create a sense of fear and unease among residents and visitors. Law enforcement typically responds by dispersing the crowd and making arrests, and there may also be increased security measures in affected areas to prevent future incidents.

""Flash mobs," in which people show up at an assigned place at a certain time, perform some brief acts, and then leave, have descended on stores, a hotel and even a piece of a park in New York."
