MIB? Nice quote but in my experience I have observed both. I have seen multiple videos in the middle of BLM protesting and rioting where the crowd protects a cop to safety in the middle of cops dismembering protesters. And there was jan6 when they killed cops.

Depends on the person and the crowd! And their state of mind. A panicked crowd is ad irrational as a panicked individual, except their actions are amplified by their numbers. There are a few who act on their own and the masses who follow along because they think the crowd knows best.

I have been in traffic jams, get curious and take a random residential road trying to find a way out, and like 5-6+ cars follow me, even try to loose them and they follow me to a dead end street lol.
