Mob rule or ochlocracy is the rule of government by a mob or mass of people and the intimidation of legitimate authorities. Insofar as it represents a pejorative for majoritarianism , it is akin to the Latin phrase mobile vulgus , meaning "the fickle crowd ", from which the English term "mob" originally was derived in the 1680s .
Control of a political situation by those outside the conventional or lawful realm, typically involving violence and intimidation
