The Mob Mentality...

I have tried real hard not to blog about the whole issue but I do have 2 thing to say.

1) This whole mentality of 'because I am 1 in a group of 30, nothing will happen to me' is something we have to see doesn't get set into the mind of people looking to COMMIT CRIMES (that IS what this incident was - a crime).

2) I believe it is the job of the police to see to it that miscreants don't start adopting this mob mentality.

Social loafing taken to the extreme.

I think, it is much more than herd mentality which could be controlled by police or other security guys. The animal instincts in every human must be controlled by itself and should learn to accept and respect others, not due to the fact that they are being watched by someone else.
