Sometimes in history it has become politically convenient to sacrifice the socially despised for the protection of society. Rationalizations of justice then judicial process and make it merely the means of legitimizing society's need for a victim. Glenville lies in the northeast corner of Cleveland, not tar from the city line of East Cleveland, an older suburban area. The section has short, narrow streets with two and three story buildings, mostly housing, with alleys running between and behind the structures The confusion and conflicting stories of how and what happened to set off the violence have never been satisfactorily outlined. The first alleged sign of activity was a police report that fifteen to twenty armed men, some of whom had arrived shortly before by car, were leaving Evans department.
