The caption read:
"A flash mob in Atlanta came together to support a Black-owned business by buying out the entire store to help the owner stay in business."
The 68-second material shows the mob walking through the streets of Atlanta, Georgia, in the US, and finally inside the establishment.
A description in the video reads:
"On our way to bless a Black woman-owned business [which] was [threatening] to close down. This is a blessing to be a blessing. She won't be going out of business on our time. We're here to help."
At one point, the shop owner can be seen and heard appearing overwhelmed after the hoard descends onto her store.
"This is all I ever wanted. All I ever wanted was to see a line out here and the store full," she is heard saying in part, to loud cheers and applause.

"They should have done that during BLM protests, not burn the businesses down. That would have been a much better message and would have been better received. This is what empowering means, not looting."
@johnbind2 added:
"Is this some kinda euphemism for looting the place clean?"
