Fr. Norman was exhausted for his effort and arrest, but he was fully advised that crossing onto the property would result in his arrest (even though as a priest that should not have happened). Parking was provided for those who witnessed on the campus property, and provided you simply wanted to walk the campus (without an agenda) you could do so without interruption.
Hubby talked to Fr. Norman and he said he was obviously VERY tired, but grateful and gracious when Hubby shook his hand and thanked him — he is very frail.
Additionally, it wasn't that the others didn't want to “risk” arrest, but the witnesses were selected from those who volunteered (at their own expense) to be arrested. There were no gestapo tactics in Hubby's experience.
Thank you for this clarification. I am grateful for your first-person experience, and am looking for more. Any pointers or links would be appreciated.
