Joel Rubin? With his highfalutin' college degrees from Brandeis and Carnegie Mellon, and background as a former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, Rubin should know better

Yet, on today's CNN This Morning, Rubin said:

"Renee Good [was] interested in protecting her neighbors through civil disobedience, discourse, whatnot. That's legal."

Civil disobedience is legal? By definition, civil disobedience is the breaking of law, and the willingness to accept the consequences thereof, ostensibly for a higher moral purpose. Joel, Joel--what were you thinking?!

Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

Uh, sorry dude, but “disobedience” of the law is, by definition, NOT legal!

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Well, looks like it’s open season, boys. And girls.

The Democrat Party demonstrated during the “covid” period that it will penalize us for simple noncompliance. It can’t ask now to be excused its malicious acts.

“Your speech is violence. Our violence is speech.”

I’ll hold my opinion until I hear from Chris Cuomo.

CNN = Crap Not News

DemocRATs sang a different tune when Obama and Biden were POTUS and conservatives peacefully protested.

[sjmjax]

Idiots like that are going to get people killed.

Oh, never mind. It’s already started.

Civil disobedience is often legal, except when it’s not, like when ‘peacefully’ burning down a city. Trying to run over a federal officer isn’t either.

The modern day virtue signaling “civil disobedience” advocates are not really in any historical tradition. Just rent-a-mob losers who interfere with laws being enforced. Is the “cause” they represent the continuing presence of child rapists, muggers, carjackers, home invaders and men who abduct and rape women joggers? Those are some of the illegals ICE agents are detaining-—with warrants.

MLK was not out to beat up the Southern police and deputies.
Today’s mobs are.

And Henry David Thoreau, author of “Civil Disobedience” refused to pay taxes to the government because of the Mexican War and slavery in July, 1846.

When imprisoned for refusing to pay taxes, his friend Ralph Waldo Emerson visited him to seek his release. When he walked down the row of small cells and reached Thoreau’s he asked: “Henry, what are you doing in there?”
Thoreau asked: “No, Waldo, the question is what are you doing still out there?”
Note: Thoreau’s aunt paid the fine and got him released the next day. He wrote his essay that day.

Conflating civil disobedience with running down LEOs is a bit of a stretch...

[NorthMountain]

ROFL!!!

They use the words, but they don’t know what the words mean.

Civil disobedience is doing something that is illegal, but perceived to be morally imperative, and accepting the consequences.

Someone needs to re-read their Thoreau.

Here is the text for anyone wanting to return to 10th grade civics:

Actually, it is not...but they also aren’t applying the “civil” part.

[Iron Munro]

I'm certain that their unruly conduct does not qualify as legal civil disobedience.

Things like:

• Blocking traffic

• Blocking ICE vehicles in

• Crashing into ICE vehicles with cars and trucks

• Running down ICE agents with vehicles

• Tthrowing frozen water bottles at ICE agents heads

• Beating ICE agents with shovels and sticks

• Spitting on ICE agents

• Slashing the tires on government vehicles

• Breaking into government vehicles and looting the contents

• Disfiguring ICE vehicles by spraying them with paint.

• Throwing "Trucker Bombs" (bottles of urine) into ICE vehicles

• Stealing things to build barricades in the streets

So Jan. 6th was perfectly fine. Oh that's right, only Democrats can be disobedient.
