how many of y'all concerned @ freedom have offered to lend a hand? If all tools needed to pass a libre purity test, nothing would get done.
-
So is your complaint that there are many issues? Why does this bother you so much? Is this just a semantic academic discussion?
-
It is one of many issues. all of which have been ignored for a long time, including endless petitions that merely get patronizing responses.
-
Those arrested peacefully are not complaining. Those abused are complaining, and it is effective. Now, what is your real issue here?
-
Exercising Free Speech is not a last resort effort. Refusing orders to end said exercise of rights is just, and is civil disobedience.
-
they purposely disobeyed Parks & Rec Dept rules that are in direct conflict with the constitution. Why does this bother you so much?
-
They actively refused to vacate public space where they assembled to petition for a redress of grievances. what's NOT to understand?
-
but call it whatever you like. I don't care. and neither do the protesters.
-
"Civil disobedience is the active, professed refusal to obey certain laws, demands, and commands of a govt, or of an occupying intl power."

-
A prime goal is overturning Citizens United. If $=speech and $=property, tents as property = free speech.
-
The protesters arrested in Oakland at the latest raid are not complaining about police abuse, because the police responded reasonably.
-
the anti-war movement was not about the misuse of firearms. (kent state)
-
The civil rights movement was not about the misuse of firehoses either.
-
Maybe the frothing free software crowd will get their chance at civil disobedience with this one http://ur1.ca/5va8x

the quote only says jail is the place for a just man, nothing about suffering in silence. CD is a tool for ~attention~ on injustice.

@gomerx Please point me to the Thoreau, Ghandi, of MLK, Jr directive "Thou Shalt not Whine"
-
@gomerx by that logic, people who download or remix copyrighted material shouldn't whine when they get arrested.

showed up after reply. maybe just a slave database issue?
