Here is what Atticus says:

"A mob's always made up of people, no matter what. Mr. Cunningham was part of a mob last night, but he was still a man. Every mob in every little Southern town is always made up of people you know -- doesn't say much for them, does it?"

"So it took an eight-year-old child to bring 'em to their senses, didn't it?" ... "That proves something-- that a gang of wild animals can be stopped, simply because they're still human."
