They are not organized (like trump), have criminal thinking (like Trump). They can't formulate a plan (like Trump), so you can see it coming from miles away. You can hire a few security guards at your house. It's not going to be an organized plan (if it's anything at all) and you will be ok. Keep it up!!! KEEP GOING!!!

And then there is "mob mentality" - "the idea that people can get swept up in the madness of a crowd and lose their ability to reason and follow their own good judgment." https://www.apa.org/news/podcasts/speaking-of-psychology/group-behavior#:~:text=When%20people%20think%20about%20group,follow%20their%20own%20good%20judgment

Unfortunately, this also happens.

Bad advice. First of all, you don't know that. Secondly, as Jan. 6 has proven, they ARE organized. And now that Trump unleashed those violent insurrectionists back on America's streets, they WILL be used as paralegal militias by Trump.

If you think that was organized, I wouldn't commit a crime if I was you

Some of them were pretty organized, they had a plan. I actually think the huge size of the crowd hampered them in the execution of their plot, slowed them down.

Riots, by definition, are not organized.

While individuals may attempt to lead or control a riot, riots typically consist of disorganized groups that are frequently "chaotic and exhibit herd behavior. Wiki
