Mr. Pursley engaged in what is known as civil disobedience. The Peter Zenger case, the Boston Tea Party, the Underground Railroad, the sit-down strikes of the 1930s, the Birmingham bus boycott, etc., are examples of such disobedience in American history. He may get publicity this way, but so did Samuel Adams, John Hancock, William Lloyd Garrison, Sojourner Truth, John L. Lewis, Walter Reuther, and Martin Luther King. Civil disobedience is a long standing American tradition.

Good Little Republicans ALWAYS obey the laws, you know.

They NEVER talk back to their superiors, you know.

They just put on their white shirts and ties, and their Yale-crested dinner jackets, and meet at the Club, you know.

Street fights? That's for the plebes, you know.

I understand it was civil disobedience, but what would he have done if allowed into her room?
