>>>As a rhetorical question: had somebody produced a weapon during the Kavanaugh invasion, would your son instantly swap from principled civil disobedience to violent insurrectionism?

>>That would depend on what the person did with the weapon and on my son's response to someone producing a weapon. If he told the person to put it away or told the person to leave the group, my son would still be a peaceful protester. If he encouraged the person to use the weapon or used it himself (both of which are utterly laughable, knowing my son), he'd no longer be engaged in principled civil disobedience.

>While I agree with a lot of your post, the above does not fly here. If they enter as a group and allow a wolf to enter in sheepskin, all sheep share responisibility for not establishing sniffing-out procedures. Just telling the wolf to behave at that time is a) not enough and b) won't bother the wolf.
If the preparation and training for the event (and yes, they had those--I remember him telling me about going to them) made it clear that weapons were not to be included, and someone chose to violate that, then the question is how the rest respond.
