There was one piece missing, that being a singular, previously decided upon leader. It was armed and violent anarchy with the intent to terrorize congress, and people were murdered by this mob.
If they had a leader it would have been an insurrection. That is it.
- totony 5y agoI also disagree with "violent anarchy." When calling something "violent," we usually refer to the whole thing. For example, if there is a murder in chicago, we don't say "violent residents of chicago cause another victim." In the same spirit, I don't think the violence was widespread enough to warrant that label. EDIT: But violent here can be argued, I just think the common use is less in line with the literal "there was violence."
