How do you defend against a mob?

2/9/2014

0 Comments

 
We usually associate mobs with political protests and social movements, but in the last decade we have witnessed the rise of a new type of mob.  The Greed Mob.  As its name implies, greed mobs aren't motivated by protests and cries for social justice.  To the contrary, they are motivated by people who put their personal interest above the safety of others. The only other times we have witnessed such behavior in history, have been when people struggled for food and water for survival.  Greed mobs differ in that they form purely in the pursuit of something non-essential.  A photo.  The paparazzi (joined by #FanTurnedPaparazzo and their mobile cameras) are the best example of a greed mob.

Greed mobs are growing, but we rarely hear about them.  Only a few suffer.  They are our Artists. They are the people who entertain us. They are people who have succeeded. They cry out for protection and understanding, but are met ridicule and scorn.

Those who are threatened take the matter seriously. They have increased personal security measures. They recognize that - at times - their lives, and those of their immediate family, are in danger.  Anyone who has personally experienced a mob knows how dangerous they can be. Add instigation and a criminal element to the mix, they quickly become deadly.

People are quick to propose various solutions and non-lethal measures that can be taken to disperse mobs.  What they fail to realize is that once a mob turns, it cannot be controlled.

The best defence from a mob?  Prevent it from arising to begin with.  Find the root cause and address it.
