Why did Pipe Man chase Israel Schwartz away?

[c.d.]

I really think this should be discussed. In my opinion, it indicates that Pipe Man was on the 'Ripper Team' in some role. I would like to see if anyone else could come up with an alternate explanation.

Hello Stacker,

The problem is that we don't know for sure that Pipe Man chased Schwartz. Pipe Man himself could have been running away from what he considered a dangerous situation leading Schwartz to believe that Pipe Man was chasing him. It is all just too murky to reach a conclusion one way or another.
