There's a difference between killing enemy soldiers in a war (and a revolution is effectively a civil war) and killing civilians, "collateral damage" or no. Abraham Thorn did the latter. Killing civilians may sometimes (extremely rarely) be "necessary," but it's still evil.
I apologize for being unclear. I agree that revolutionaries can be lawful, and my original reasoning for moving Abraham into the NE category was unsound. That's why I think a strong argument can be given for him being LE. I think it depends on how you interpret "Lawful Evil," which is one of the more complicated alignments.
Whether someone follows school rules is a defining factor in whether or not they're lawful when the person in question is a student. School rules are laws for a student.
