I love the "angry mob scene" just like in the old Universal monster films of the '30's! The village men get worked up at the local tavern, march out to confront the "monsters," women looking out the windows in fear, torches..great stuff.
shareYOu may have heared the story about the Texas Rangers. A riot was reported to the Ranger headquarters with a request for rangers to stop it. but when the train arrived, only one ranger was on it. The officials asked why there weren't more rangers, and the answer was:
"One riot, one ranger.".
At least that is a populaar story.

And apparently the children have a rule "one mob, one child."
