Deindividualization is actually a common thing.

It's the biggest reason police will "quarantine" a suicide type situation.

You Are Not So Smart - Deindividualization

quote:

In 2008, a 17-year old man jumped from the top of a parking garage in England after 300 or so people chanted for him to go for it. Some took photos and recorded video before, during and after. Afterward, the crowd dispersed, the strange spell broken. The taunters walked away wondering what came over them. The other onlookers vented their disgust into social media.

Sounds like a cop out to cover the fact that at so many people today have lost all sense of humanity and compassion. I'm sorry but if you come across a mob of people urging a guy to kill himself are you really just going to blindly join along?
