If yes, what would stop something like this from going nation wide?

It could start with not putting a microphone in front of everyone in the mob and giving them facetime on national television.

It's news, so it must be reported. So report the facts as known, and don't interview every a-hole that walks by, who doesn't have a clue as to the facts. But the news networks glorifying the actions of the mobs results in larger mobs.

Report the story and move on to the next story. There's 100 other legitimate news stories taking place every day.

The so-called reporters on the scene are as despicable as those they are reporting on. Many are in effect egging them on. The shameless and disgusting actions of Chris Hayes the other night are a perfect example, though admittedly he is not a journalist but rather an opinion-opiner.

If there were no news cameras or reporters on site, the crowds would eventually grow bored.
