47. "the dude's posturing, insults, catcalls, and threats drove the conflict. "

No, it didn't. The gang of thugs outside wanted to beat the shit out of a couple of Jews whom they chased into the synaogue.

That's what was driving the conflict.

Hoodie guy was reacting to the conflict. A conflict that was hot not because he was mouthy, but rather because violent thugs were hell-bent on getting at a couple of Jews they had chased in there.

He wasn't trying to "keep the conflict hot"--the conflict was hot and staying hot because the thugs wanted to beat the shit out of a couple of Jews they had chased inside.

The reason they didn't come inside was because the Jews inside were acting in a belligerent, aggressive, and violent posture towards them.

Not because cooler heads were prevailing.

When someone tries to break into your house, threatening them with violence is pretty much the only sensible approach.

The conflict ended when cops/security arrived and the thugs turned tail and fled.
