1. They resolved to protesting through violence,. This resulted in them resorting to kidnapping, bombings and robbing banks.
2. Right away when I saw them resort to bombing violence as a form a protest no I no longer sympathized with their cause. They had a decent cause but when you start using violence in situations that dont call for it I no longer sympathize with you but will instead find you to be a terrorist which is exactly what they were. Their violence only escalated as time went on making them less appealing as a group and really just making them terrorists.
3. Andreas Baader was definitely a driving force in the group and really the reason the group escalated the way it did. He took a violent approach straight from the beginning and I think if he wasn't a part of the group I believe the group would have taken a different approach in protesting. I think people wanted follow just because he seemed like he was in charge and had a plan but really he was just committing terrorist acts.
4. When we did the activity it was about half and half on both sides with a small minority. As for my personal view I sided with violence in certain situations but if there was a peaceful approach I would obviously want that to be the first approach taken.
