Well, since I had a look on the first words in the first sentence it become clear for me that the author included these sentence in order to provide a contrast to his group’s nonviolent efforts. Just because of the grammar structure of the lines, when it starts from ''The other'' we can predict that the speaker compares something with the excerpt represented above. I bet there was a previous introductory sentence that is connected with particular movement and further we can see ''the other" that reflects contrast.<span>

It could mean put in danger
I guess that's "setting".
Well definitions can help a lot. I’m not completely sure though
