"lynch mob"

Okay then...

Idk why you're being downvoted. Here's the definition of lynch:

(of a mob) kill (someone), especially by hanging, for an alleged offense with or without a legal trial.

Lemmings gonna Lemmy I guess. They downvoted my explanation a little further down too, which included the definition. Now they're probably going to downvote you too.

How do you describe this?

[–] Anticorp 0 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

A riot, or a mob. A lynch mob is a specific thing. As you can guess by the name, it's a mob set on lynching (or just generally killing) someone, or several someones. It is not a term for any old agitated mob. The Jan 6th rioters would qualify as a lynch mob since they had a noose, gallows, and were chanting "hang Mike Pence".

Yeah these guys just brought masks, clubs, tear gas and fireworks. Totally not an organized lynch mob.

Just look at how peaceful and totally not lynching these people are
