Its a really big stretch to call a mob of unarmed people who took a bunch of selfies a terrorist attack. It was just a riot

And they terrorised people. They forced their way in, shouted the names of politicians they were looking for, forced their way through barriers. A mob doesn't need guns to be a threat.
