I doubt seriously that there is a charge called “civil disobedience “
“Civil disobedience” means breaking laws in order to make some sort of point about politics or freedom, or religion, or whatever. Usually, it would be a minor crime, like refusing to give up a seat on the bus, or chaining oneself to a confederate statue to prevent it from being taken away. Anything more serious, like blowing up a statue, or shooting a bus, driver is terrorism, rather than civil dis
I believe vandalizing that tampon dispenser was indeed an act of civil disobedience. But when one commits civil disobedience the idea is to demonstrate that you are willing to accept the legal consequences in order to protest or make whatever point you’re making.
Whining about it and trying to find some hyper legal definition that somehow legalizes what is clearly a crime isn’t the way to make the point. the way to make the point is for the boys to say “if I’m punished for what I did I’m willing to accept that. I’m not willing to be miss-sexed by being forced to use the bathroom with a tampon dispenser that I would clearly never use, nor would anyone else who belongs in the boys bathroom.”
I believe that they basically said that, and I support them. thank you for posting the definition of vandalism earlier. Hopefully it made its contribution to this thread. As for me, I’m not going to go searching for it because I really don’t see the relevance.
