Mob psychology is, IMO, still a not very well understood phenomenon. Why do people who individually are quite decent people lose their morality or values when the join with a mob?

That resonates with something discussed here recently -- whether a person's true character is only shown by their worst moments in life. If people once get enticed into acting in a mob, is that their basic character?
