Was the mob becoming more intense and dangerous? what makes you think this way?

Yes because it was growling

A mob can be both instense and dangerous

Explanation:

Contemporary forms of life bear witness to the dissolution of the concept of “people” and the renewed relevance of the concept of “multitude”. Fixed stars of the great debate of the seventeenth century, and lying at the origin of much of our ethical-political lexicon, these two concepts lie in the antipodes of each other.

The "people" are centripetal in nature, converge on a general will, they are the interface or reflection of the state; the 'multitude' is plural, flees political unity, does not enter into pacts with the sovereign, not because it does not relinquish rights to it, but because it is reactive to obedience, because it is inclined to certain forms of unrepresentative democracy.

- "the civil rights movements"

- "following the american civil war and abolition of slavery, the united states entered a period known as reconstruction, during which black americans continued to suffer from disenfranchisement, racial segregation, and economic oppression. beginning in the early 1950's, black americans launched a series of major campaigns of civil resistance, emphasizing the need for nonviolent protests and civil disobedience."

"such as the montgomery bus boycott of 1955-56, a campaign launched by rosa parks against the policy of racial segregation of the public transit system in alabama. “sit-ins” became popular across the american south, particularly in greensboro, north carolina, increase national sentiment."

- "the counterculture movement"

- "counterculture began to develop in the united states following the rise of conformity in american culture during the 1950s. by 1963, youth, particularly those of the white middle class, began rejecting the cultural standards and normality of their parents, opting for progressive attitudes instead. the movement gained momentum as the civil rights movement became increasingly successful and as the u.s. military intervention of vietnam began to take a negative turn."

"hippie counterculture moved further into popular culture following the summer of love in 1967 when thousands of people came together in the haight-ashbury neighborhood of san francisco. along with greenwich village in new york city, haight-ashbury became a hub for the counterculture movement."
