But they're *our* angry mob

To be clear: I found the January 6, 2021 incident at the U.S. Capitol to be an abomination and thus some people should go to jail over it. However, in the minds of a lotta progs, anything short of condemning the incident as an attempt to thwart on our Constitutional order while employing a ferret-on-espresso (h/t Mitch Berg) type demeanor is considered justifying the incident.  

With that said, you wanna see a real attempt at attacking a tenet of our Constitutional order? How about attempting to undermine due process? 

A person by the name of Cortez Rice decided to stand outside the front door of the residence of the judge assigned to preside over the manslaughter trial of former Brooklyn Center police officer Kim Potter, who fatally shot 20-year old Daunte Wright earlier this year.

I don’t think people understand the severity of this…

The purpose of Rice compiling this video was to demand that Potter's trial be broadcast live. Apparently said demand had to be made in front of the trial judge's residence. Yeah, no underlying message there, huh?

Oh, and what I'm sure was a completely independent decision.......

A new ruling in the trial of former Brooklyn Center police officer Kim Potter, charged in Daunte Wright's killing, will allow cameras in the courtroom and for the trial to be shown live.

The ruling comes after a coalition of Twin Cities journalists challenged a previous decision in August denying cameras in the courtroom for the trial. In the recent decision, the judge writes that the decision to deny audio-visual coverage was based on the belief that the COVID-19 pandemic would wane, allowing for a full audience in the courtroom.

I guess mob mentality is sufficient, provided it achieves your preferred end goal.
