Townhall journalist Julio Rosas got this amazing video (below) showing an angry mob of protesters carrying signs descending upon the private residence of acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf. All while the lady with the megaphone shouts that “we are NOT an angry mob” as if saying makes it so.
“This man lives here quietly, and is able to live just like us, and we need to do something about that,” said the megaphone toting ringleader of the “not an angry mob.”
She screeches that they have to make life “uncomfortable” for people in the Trump administration, as non-angry mobs often do.
“We are angry neighbors,” she emphasizes, because apparently being a mob that’s from the zip code makes this benign.
Protesters have gathered outside the home of Chad Wolf, acting secretary of Homeland Security. They are here to protest against DHS sending federal agents to Portland after rioters continue to target the federal courthouse in the city. pic.twitter.com/SeWSElO2KY

One speaker at the protest outside of Sec. Chad Wolf’s home complains how there’s no financial, career, and legal consequences for people like him. Says there must be social/political consequences: “[Wolf] lives here quietly…and we need to do something about that.” pic.twitter.com/b47dUrKFrB

But, on the other hand, getting a good look at these white bread, upper middle class hipsters, maybe she’s right that “mob” gives them too much credit. At least as far as the intimidating factor goes. Listen to this limp chant.

Yeah I’ve changed my mind. She’s right. They’re angry. And they’re a motley assortment. But the connotation of “Angry Mob” gives them too much credit. Nail on the head.
