Nonviolent Civil Rights Protest in the 1950s and 1960s Had Armed Backup

Which is probably something that the advocates of nonviolent protest tend to write out of history.

The man everyone associates with the time, Dr. King, Jr., had guns all over his home during the bus boycotts.

Nonviolent protest only works if both sides (or all sides) tacitly agree to a set of rules. If they don't, if one side tries to violently push its agenda, then the other side has to either quit or resist in kind.
