> If they were not involved in what is a violent and largely unlawful civil disobedience they would not be apprehended. Civil disobedience is always unlawful, the clue is in the name.

It's sometimes moral to break the law, that's how law gets changed; civil disobedience is good trouble, necessary trouble.
