There was riot that wanted to hurt someone. They ran up and down streets yelling and making problems. They believe Sammy is the killer even though it wasn't fully proven in court. That's why he isn't with them because they will hunt him down. Robert got into a fight with a police man because he was trying to mind his own business while the cop came in a disturbed him. The policeman was going to whip him and take him in. The two different sides were going against each other and someone told him to watch out for knives. Someone from each side needed to cross the street for it to be violent.
I think group think occurs majorly in these types of situations because they dont want to be left out and people try to convince others it's right.
Good summary. Don't forget to connect back to Smelzer's criteria for group action.
