'That's not appropriate. We're not talking about mob actions,' Mayor Johnson said on Wednesday. 'We have to be careful when we use language to describe certain behavior.
It was a mostly peaceful mob

wow! I thought someone was complaining that “mob action” was too gentle of a term. Boy am I naive.

That’s more like it. You’re onto something. Trashing a store must have been tranquil.
Dems taking control of the language is infuriating.

400 is kind of a lot to describe as a “troop”. The behavior fits, though.
To: artichokegrower
Agree. Not like this was Cosa Nostra.
Let’s call it what it is: a large group of inner city feral thugs.

All this Soros lapdog ever does about Black criminals is make excuses for them. Sane Chicagoans must either arm themselves to the teeth, or leave.

There’s no hope for Chicago with idiots like this in charge. Democrat morons in action.
To: artichokegrower
It could be called a race riot, except that implies some political purpose.
