Hmm. If you read the text, it seems they were "reciting poetry". Nothing wrong with that, of course, but it would attract attention, and it did look like they were loving that attention. If they wanted to get away, all they had to do was walk away or go into the Starbucks their friend went into.
You can't win against that kind of mob behaviour by engaging with it; they're lucky frankly it was mostly younger kids, and in a very public place.
