A massive demonstration in support of reformist candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi is formed as supporters gather on the streets of Tehran to demonstrate against the results of the Iranian presidential election, in Tehran, Iran on June 15, 2009. The march came hours after Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei ordered an examination into election fraud.
There are several things you could look for if you were in charge of security and evaluating who is most likely to erupt in violence.
This situation is tenuous at best, and as we later learn violence did indeed breakout. Crowd hysteria and/or mob violence is the most serious and dangerous of situations and once a crowd become violent it often leads to the most serious of man versus man assaults; where whatever had brought them together is soon forgotten and the strong pounce on the weak regardless of ideology or sides. It becomes an opportunity to inflict pain on another human simply because the adrenaline is present and the opportunity has presented itself.
I see one person who is a threat. I have placed an explanation in the comments, and I will outline what to look for...◦

Where is Dangerous Waldo?

Look at the man in the white shirt in the bottom left side of the photograph. He is showing us anger, anger itself is not the sign of violence, but when combined with the closed lips, and his lack of arm movements like everyone around him it is a clear warning that this person could become violent. This is the look of a stalker who is waiting for the right opportunity to pounce; Saving energy to act; and concentrating on his task and thoughts and not mirroring the actions, movements, gestures of those around him. It would be wise to watch this man to see if his demeaner changes for the better, the longer he holds this position the more likely that the situation could become worse.
Interesting- the dangerous demeanor is definitely there. I was watching a show about John Hinkley and his assasination attempt on Ronald Reagan. There is a photo taken of some journalists waiting for Reagan to emerge from the hotel where he had been speaking- Hinkley is, by chance, also in the photo and he looks just like this. Creepy!
Funny-- The man in the black t-shirt near the top right is showing the same emotions and body language...
haha, I called it!
White shirt guy- lips pursed and he's focused.
