bullhorns and waving signs. Ms. Easton wrote that “a more apt
description of this assemblage would be ‘mob.’ Intimidation was the
whole point of this exercise.”
Only Mr. Baer’s teenage son was home. Terrified, he locked himself in
the bathroom, pleading with Ms. Easton, “When are they going to leave?”
