Any large gathering of people is prone to become a mob, sadly. Individual thought tends to go out the window when you're with 10,000 of your closest friends and bitterest enemies. Look at soccer matches, rock concerts, evangelical tent revivals, Mardi Gras, Nazi rallies in the '30s, etc. etc. If you could somehow pull any individual out of one of those gatherings and put them in a room alone (while they continue acting the same way), you'd usually have a case for wolf's floor at the hospital.

Nah, the reason I think some people are savages is because they wake up throwing rocks and firing guns in the air, they throw rocks and fire guns in the air all day, and before they go to bed, they throw rocks, burn effigies, fire guns in the air and tape bombs to their women before their shopping trips. Probably load em up with rocks to throw too.
