A mob is a gathering of a group or crowd of people. They have the potential to be disorderly and even violent. Mob behavior is driven by group mentality picked up by imprinting social and emotional cues from each other. Personally I would run the other way  or avoid the mob altogether. It is pretty difficult to calm a mob down, unless you are Atticus and Scout!
