Two of the principal bolshevik leaders, zenovie and camune, started drafting an official party editorial urging calm forbearance. By late afternoon, tens of thousands of armed protesters were out in force, including civilian workers. Street fighting led to general violent chaos as groups opposing the demon ators now came out to fight.
