> It sounds like the public is only booing. Barely anything of note yet.

I think this is being misunderstood. I read it as a final bit of civility. It's a warning.

Don't humanize crowds. Crowds don't have civility.

Crowds either do, or do not. If crowds start throwing tomatoes then you know they're actually angry. Or rioting, or... Stuff.

Booing? Kinda nothing in the great scheme of what crowds do.
