Who said they didn't have the right? Anyone? Nope....That change begins at the ballot box and not in a shopping mall or on the streets of our major cities?
The right to protest is in our Constitution and has rich history in America. something that escapes a convicted felon like you. Go whine about 7 dollar light bulbs
Just too stupid to understand the point. Seems as a felon I've got more common sense than you huh
We all realize you're too stupid to understand the point...civil (emphasis on civil) disobedience is a time-honored method of instituting change.
civil disobedience only works when trying to change the hearts of others for a just cause. When the problem is your own heart it's quite useless. When it turns to violence it ceases to be civil disobedience.
stop attacking a straw man that's already been refuted and listen to what people are actually saying.
when is rioting and killing cops civil disobedience? Civil disobedience is based on the concept of turning the other cheek and submitting oneself to the abuse of evil to reconcile with your supposed enemies.
there is no attempt to reconcile with the police here. There is no attempt to submit to unjust laws, or even any example of an unjust law in play. Just a bunch of people stirring up hatred and anger. That's not civil disobedience. That's a mob
You're uncharacteristically right. There is NEVER justification for violence. NEVER. End of story.
I will say that a protest does change hearts and minds to some degree---BEFORE IT TURNS VIOLENT. And after it turns violent, that change does linger.
"What Change" you may ask?
A guy killed 6 people and injured 13. Of the dead was a 9 year old girl, and a 63 year old judge. Of the 13 injured was a US Congresswoman. The gunman was white.
A guy killed a cop and injured two others in Pennsylvania. That's right....killed a cop. The gunman was white.
Michael Brown, thug, punched a cop (didn't kill him), was unarmed and gunned down in the street.
Michael Brown was black.
Eric Grarner (not sure what he did) was attacked by a number of police, and wound up dead after being placed in a choke-hold. Garner was not armed. Eric Garner was black.
When you have two guys who murdered people with firearms who are taken into custody who are white and two black guys who are just as innocent until proven guilty who are unarmed and are dead...I think the way cops react should be called into question. At best there seems to be a lot of disparity in the reactions.
In terms of societal impact, it seems that a black without a gun is more threatening than a white holding a figurative smoking weapon...
That is something we need to address.
