“What’s the difference if it’s done by one person or 20 people?”

Well, there is a huge difference due to the intimidation factor, which is a key modus operandi of these black assaults, whether they be physical, fiscal, or both.
In an earlier post I said that it is absolutely more intimidating when crimes are committed by a group, but in terms of monetary damage this crime was relatively small unless we hear otherwise. No property damage, no injuries.
