So much back and forth that I lost count.

Look, the whole point behind us talking about mobs is that in a true mob action it’s difficult to determine which individuals are responsible for what happens. In a very real sense individuals aren’t responsible, except for their decision to join the mob.
A mob develops its own mentality in which it will do things not one of the participants would have done individually or in a smaller group.
That is simply not the case here. This is a small group deciding to criminally assault another human, not a mob of dozens or hundreds of people.
