Angry Mob SA: Discard a random character from each territory.

1. If the ability says "random" does this mean I can specifically choose one EC or Hero in my opponent's territory and one of my own to discard?

I just make sure they are arranged in an order that rolling a die will randomly choose one (i.e. roll a d6 if there are 6 characters to choose from, or a d20 until I get a relevant number).

As long as it is actually random you have options, but you can't just pick one.  I prefer rolling dice, like YMT said, rolling a larger die than there are characters until I get a hit.  But there are other ways, and picking them up (while not as easy in T2) and randomly selecting one is certainly a good choice too.
