I mean I need specific incidents involving the mob. I really don't know a thing about them outside of batman cartoons.

Embargoes are an interesting take, but I'd have to disagree in the end. We aren't threatening violence or using violence to influence policy. Making things suck? Yeah, but in the end it doesn't meet the definition. Following that reasoning, tariffs on foreign goods could be viewed as terrorism, depending on the situation and the goals.
