'[redacted] Imperialism': Activists Bum Rush Stage

This is at least the second article this week where journalists have no clue of the meaning of the expression, "bum's rush". It means to be unceremoniously thrown out of a business, stereotypically by the collar and the back waistband. An example would be George Baily and Clarence being thrown out of the bar by Nick in "It's A Wonderful Life": "That's it! Out you two pixies go, through the door or out the window!"

Again, punctuation would have solved the problem.
