You don't protest illegally and expect that you'll get away with it. That's utterly contrary to the spirit of civil disobedience. Regardless of the legitimacy of your civil disobedience, recognize that it's disobedience, and accept the consequences. <BR/><BR/>If you're not willing to accept the blight on your record, then don't disobey.<BR/><BR/>Selfish cowards!Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14363311128428661742noreply@blogger.com
