@Addision Orrrr you could just go for harrassment and disturbing the peace without sending us down the creepy dictatorship-hole. As Dark Future says that way leads to a pretty… dark future.
I too find this completely unacceptable. If you have a problem with a news anchor you kick it up to the boss of the news station and do a letter campaign or protest outside the news HQ. Threatening to hurt or kill the anchor is complete and utter bullshit. Threatening to hurt or kill anyone, especially at their home, is completely beyond the pale.
What the hell happened to “do unto others as you wish to be treated”? Do you think this is going to help your case? Because I have no idea what that mob is protesting for but I can already tell you I just instantly lost any respect/sympathy for its cause that I might have had. Before even hearing what they stand for! That is the impact of your actions! Rawr. I know none of those folks will ever read this but I just had to vent.

On the prepping side… what do you do if a mob forms around your house? Call the police, sure, but… then what? It’s an interesting thought exercise. I guess I’d treat it like a hurricane and board up my windows. Trying to leave would be risky, what if you get seen? Are you exposed on the way to your vehicle? Driveway blocked by their cars? Do you just wait for them to get bored? How the hell do you de-escalate that?
Does anyone know of any biographical books where the author dealt with protests around their house? Because I’d love to read them.
