12 AGOT Daenerys II: The forty thousand Dothraki outisde Pentos scare the people of the city. Only a wall separartes them. What happens when some drunk barbarians decide to make mischief?


30 AGOT Sansa II: The commons cheers that Renly isn't hurt but, when the Hound tosses the piece of broken gold antler Renly gave him as a trophy into the commons "the commons began to punch and claw over the bit of gold until Lord Renly walked out among them and restored the peace." 296


32 AGOT Tyrion IV: At the inn at the crossroads, Tyrion tells Lady Stark he had no part in any attack, on his honor. She calls it Lannister honor and shows her hands to the crowd. "His dagger left these scars." "Tyrion felt the anger all around him, thick and smoky, fed by the deep cuts in the Stark woman's hands. 'Kill him' hissed some drunken slattern from the back, and other voices took up the call, faster than he would have believed. Strangers all, friendly enough only a moment ago, and yet now they cried for his blood like hounds on a trail." 325


36 AGOT Eddard IX: While his men are being killed and when he lies bleeding in the street "Faces watched from candlelit windows and people began to emerge from alleys and doors, but no one moved to help." 384


39 AGOT Tyrion V: Tyrion leverages a public forum to force Lysa to observe king's justice.


65 AGOT Daenerys VIII: "A crowd had gathered to stare at Dany with hard black eyes, their faces like masks of beaten copper." 712 The Dothraki disapprove of the bloodmagic. Dany stands opposed.


66 AGOT Arya V: The mob stones Lord Eddard Stark after his confession. Arya treats the mob like terrain, landing on a butcher and running up a woman's back in her urgency to reach her father.


73 AGOT Daenerys X: It takes a miraculous spectacle, but Dany's people are swayed and inspired to follow her.
