If you decide to practice civil disobedience, that's A-OK by me. But you should expect to get your ass beaten and thrown in jail, and not bitch about it when it happens. Hey, if it was good enough for MLK, it's good enough for you.  |
If cival disobedience didn't have consequences it wouldn't be very disobedient now would it o.0. Non violent disobedience is a productive form to institute change. I mean what is a night in jail is nothing really when it comes to supporting a cause you are passionate about. While you are violating the law civil disobedience isn't looked at as inherently wrong by society as rather a welcome part of it weather you are involved or not.
