How to use mob in a sentence?

1. Charles Krauthammer:

   We will know looking back if this is warranted, but I must say the way that she spoke at the very end in which she essentially said to the mob, ‘I will speak on your behalf, I will bring you justice and now you will bring peace.’ She doesn’t speak for the mob and her job is not to bring peace, her job is to adjudicate these issues without consideration for what’s going to happen outside. It looks like appeasement of the mob. We will only know when the evidence eventually comes out.

2. John Dryden:

   A mob is the scum that rises upmost when the nation boils.

4. Hillary Clinton:
