Stop Mobbing 5SOS

Hey guys,

Today we are getting serious so it's gonna be a long ranty post! In light of recent events I thought it would be appropriate to call upon the topic of mobbing and specifically mobbing 5SOS and kinda give my view and opinion on the whole situation. I've kept relatively quite on the whole situation and since everyone has calmed down a bit since it happened I think we can discuss the situation maturely.

To be honest can I just say before I get into the details that mobbing within any fan base, any situation whether it be airport or on the street or wherever is NEVER acceptable. Let's just be real, you make a complete ass of yourself, everyone basically hates on you for being an idiot and you are putting your 'idol' and your own safety at risk and it is completely inappropriate.

I am no psychologist so I don't really know what goes on in someone's mind when they decide that it is totally ok to latch themselves on and attack another human being, famous person or not, it is plain rude and an invasion of personal space. 
I am well aware of teenage emotions and hormones and it is mostly teenage girls that are entertaining the whole 'mob' shenanigans, so I can understand to a degree that these girls are probably overwhelmed and extremely excited at the prospect of meeting their 'idol' but what I can't understand is why they can't listen to security and people in charge that tell them to stand in a calm and safe queue so that they can increase their chances of meeting these people?

Mobbing has always been a problem within the 5SOS fanbase (notice how I say fanbase and not fam, but anyway that's another matter) Since mobbing happens ever so frequently, I don't understand how these people are yet to realise that by mobbing they decrease their chances of meeting 5SOS? Obviously the more times they get mobbed the less likely they are to stop and meet fans at airports etc and it really annoys me because if I ever went to the airport to try and potentially meet 5SOS and people started to mob them I honestly would be so pissed and honest to God I wouldn't hesitate to lash out at people because they are ruining not only my, but their own chances of meeting 5SOS.

No wonder fangirls get a bad reputation as being 'crazy' because of these actions. You are giving us all a bad name by acting like a complete moron in all honesty and it really pisses me off because it really only is like a fifth of the fanbase that do it. 

I think that sometimes these people forget that they are actually in a public area, therefore not only are you putting your 'idols' safety at risk and your own, you are also putting other travelers safety at risk and let me tell you now if you were to injury the wrong person unintentionally by mobbing at 5SOS there is no way that you will get away with it, you could in fact be put up for assault if you messed with the wrong person. They aren't gonna give a flying monkeys if you are going to potentially meet Luke Hemmings, no, they want to safely board a flight without in their opinion 'crazy fangirls' attacking them!!

Please, in the future, have some respect for yourself and show the world how 5SOS fans can actually behave like responsible human beings. If you waited all day at an airport or studio why ruin your chances of actually getting a decent photo and perhaps a conversation by mobbing them? It makes no sense to me at all. 
It actually hurts my heart when I see the boys being treated that way, who gave you the right to think you can do that to them? No one, it just shows how immoral and disrespectful you are towards other people. You complain when we all get called '12 year old girls' when in actual fact you behaving like that makes you seem worse, you look like a 6 year old having a tantrum. My one year old cousin acts more mature than the girls who do this. So please if the day ever comes where 5SOS no longer stop for fans in public places be prepared for everyone to hate you, you have no one to blame but yourselves.

That's all I am going to say about the situation. Lets all pray I don't have to bring this topic back up again any time soon because it really angers me that these inconsiderate people have so little respect for their idols that they are willing to ruin everyone else's chances of meeting them just to get a blurry selfie.

Let me know your opinions on the matter in the comments or tweet me :)

Until next Monday,
