You said I couldn't answer a question, which was it?
And I haven't dismissed or minimized as much as provide context.
The fact that the WUO didn't kill people should be evaluated in context of their actual behavior and not what you want to think or assume. Based on their behavior the intent was to shock and agitate rather than kill, had it been otherwise people certainly would have died. That doesn't imply it was justified or moral, but had their actions led to actual deaths, the treatment by the government and society would most likely have been much different.
I don't see your "clear parallels" at all to be honest. Perhaps you could elaborate.
