Mob Actions

Mob action can sometimes be justified when taken against lawful measures depending on several factors that contribute to the mob's action. Although laws are set in place, they can be unjust and set up specifically to opress a certain group, in most cases members of the mob. This applies to the revolution in the sense that the British government passed several acts that they saw as unjust. The revolution in itself was a large scale mob action but not as spontaneous and damaging. Though it occured quickly and caused harm to some, it was more well planned then the average mob outbreak. The organization of the outbreak allowed the revolution, once successful, to become much more controlled and led to the betterment of the country as a whole.
