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".
