I don't think it gives the impression of organization at all. Rather the opposite: it gives the correct impression (unlike in the case of terrorists and criminals) that quite a large number of unconnected people were actively participating in attacks on Pao to some extent or other, rather than it being a smaller organized subgroup of the community, which frankly wouldn't be as bad.

There is always a large number of unconnected people participating in attacks. At any moment in time, there are paid chinese trolls appealing to unity and the party on topics from smog to foreign relations. Some of them, chance has it, are in active discussions with trolls from other governments.
Simply put, you will find trolls and people writing death threats wherever you look. These people do not exactly discriminate.
