Harrison Bergeron was the only one that wasn’t equal. Dianna Moon Glampers avoided thinking about the possible corruption he could spread. And she lead the charge that put him in custody, but it was too easy. Harrison let them take him, since he intended to use his capture as a means to spread a message of hope that other could be freed. It consumed him. He knew he could break free, but his own arrogance would lead to his downfall. When they placed the guns at his head, Harrison had no choice but to concede.
