Chicago mayor: ‘Mob action’ not an ‘appropriate’ term
During a press conference, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson warned a local reporter on Wednesday that using the term ‘mob action’ to describe looters was not 'appropriate.'

Left-wing Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson once again blasted efforts to condemn young criminals when he rejected a reporter's use of the word "mob" to describe dozens of looters on Wednesday.

Johnson gave a public press conference following the arrest of 40 people between the ages of 12-20 for reckless conduct misdemeanors in Chicago’s South Loop on Sunday night. It was estimated that approximately 300–400 people gathered and began to take part in "disorderly" behavior and attempted to loot a convenience store.

The Chicago mayor provided updates regarding the situation but took issue after a reporter described the massive group as a "mob."

Would a "gathering of angels" be better?

Would a "gathering of angels" be better?

Perhaps 'a wake of vultures' since once they are done feeding all that's left are the bones of a business?

The reporter should have replied:  "If you feel that way, Mayor, then you should write your own story."

You could easily go with a murder of crows. They are killing businesses.

In a sane world, this idiotic statement would doom his possible reelection.
