Prosecutors Called 'Rioters' a 'Mob,' Now They Face Punishment
Here's the rub: mainstream media consistently frames domestic political violence through a lens of 'respectability' when convenient, particularly when the perpetrators align with established power structures. Remember when the term 'insurrection' was thrown around for nearly a year straight, only to be quietly downgraded? Now, merely calling a violent crowd a 'mob' is apparently too harsh for the
tender sensibilities of the legal establishment. This isn't about legal precision; it's about control over political narratives, ensuring certain actions are sanitized to avoid discrediting influential factions. The hypocrisy practically writes itself. When 'foreign adversaries' are deemed to threaten 'democracy,' the rhetoric is sharp, unforgiving. Yet, when the threat comes from within, from
those protesting election results widely affirmed, prosecutors are chastised for using accurate descriptors. It spotlights a selective outrage mechanism, where the integrity of language bends to the prevailing political wind. After all, if those scaling walls and attacking police aren't a 'mob of rioters,' what exactly are they?
