It’s still mob violence even if you’re polite
From our university campuses.
𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐚 𝐂𝐮𝐥𝐭:
Pro-Palestine students behave like members of a cult as they repeat a chant and form a human chain to push group of Jewish students off campus.
“Walk and take a step forward so we can start to push them slowly out of the camp.”

This is still mob violence.
Their words are polite.
Their chant sounds like they are making reasonable demands about privacy and how they are the aggrieved victims.
But all of that is camouflage for the fact that what they are doing is mob violence.
They have linked arms and are attempting to use their bodies like a human bulldozer to force other people out of an area they have a lawful right to be in.
They are threatening people with for and are initiating physical contact.
They are the instigators of violence.
This needs to be recognized as such, both in the popular culture and in the law.
These people cannot be allowed to harm others and get away with it because they were polite at the time.
