Hostilities Are Started The fact that the mob lacked a leader probably averted serious con- sequences. Individual groups open- ed hostilities by hurling bricks which crashed through the windows of the sheriff's office. Roars of “Let's go!" and “We'll get him!" filled the air. Police stood firm, patient and prepared. Without at- tempting retaliation, they pushed back the surging lines. But they were hopelessly outnumbered.
