A riot, or a mob. A lynch mob is a specific thing. As you can guess by the name, it's a mob set on lynching (or just generally killing) someone, or several someones. It is not a term for any old agitated mob. The Jan 6th rioters would qualify as a lynch mob since they had a noose, gallows, and were chanting "hang Mike Pence".

Yeah these guys just brought masks, clubs, tear gas and fireworks. Totally not an organized lynch mob.

Just look at how peaceful and totally not lynching these people are
