During a riot, a large sporting event, or mob action, we lose self-awareness and self-restraint. this is known as de-individuation.

De-individuation is the loss of self-awareness when you are in a large group. When people get in a large group, they typically become empowered by those around them and act a different way. Most people get hyped up and excited and behave in ways out side of their norm.
