Matthew@ChrisMayLA6 @audunmb i have been struggling with what to call them
clearly not 'protests'
don't look like 'riots'
'attacks' is a much more accurate description. good choice.
John Dal@ChrisMayLA6 @audunmb Given that the police are institutionally rascist, and IMHO the government, I'd call them pogroms, akin to Kristallnacht.
Natasha@ChrisMayLA6 @audunmb And now evidence that a large number of them rioting already have a criminal record. Rent a mob aimed at violence.
Rage Rumbles 🏴☠️🫂 🔞@ChrisMayLA6 @audunmb I have it on unimpeachable authority from a Professor of Terrorism I know personally that what they weren't officially was terrorism though. This requires an aim and a purpose and a plan beyond simply spontaneously attacking something or someone. Those who are organising it, however, with arguable goals in mind, come closer to the legal definition.
