How to tell a mob from a protest.

A protest is calm, organised, law abiding, peaceful and safe for children. There is no violence, no anger, no damage, and no one feels threatened.

A mob is disorganised and chaotic, damage to property occurs, there may be violence against people which may result in injury.

Bystanders and the targets of the mob fear for their personal safety; children are not safe in the presence of a mob and are at risk of serious injury.

A mob is often angry and those present form groups in which emotion overcomes inhibition and decency and act in a concerted manner to attack property or individuals.

It isn't hard to tell the difference between a mob and a protest, despite what the idiots in the media would have you believe.
