I don't think there's any questions as to that aspect... He was a hot head packing heat and we already know the risks associated with that.As opposed to two murders by the the gun toting American?
My question was what is there to gain by protesting in a manner that inconveniences random people who have nothing to do with the problem, and in a manner that has nothing do with the problem.
Perhaps a good rule of thumb for disobedience-based protests should be for one to ask themselves the question "if I didn't have any signs or slogans, would people be able to know or infer what it is I'm protesting and who I'm protesting against?"
If the answer is "no", then it seems like it's just disobedience for disobedience's sake...
For instance, the just stop oil protesters... If their shirts didn't say it, and they didn't yell it, would anyone know what the heck they were even upset about if the only clues were "they throw soup in museums, and glue their hands to snooker tables"?
For instance, if they blocked a path to an oil refinery or glued their hands to a gas pump so people couldn't use it, I'd at least be able to infer their protest was something oil related.
