Well many of you sound really brave, but when there's actually a violent mob they might turn against those who stand up for the "condemned man".
I've seen a lot of mob violence video's, usually of people in rural towns who want to lynch a criminal, and as brutal as they execute them, nobody ever stands up for them, out of fear of being attacked themselves.
And even if the person is innocent, if the mob was determined to kill him they would just outnumber you, and either attack you as well or just take you away from the scene.
It's of course easy to say you would step up though, living in a society where this would never happen and where the police would intervene.
Don't want to be a smartass here just trying to be realistic ;p
