Steve Martin on Twitter: [View all]

“Re : Civil Disobedience
My understanding of "civil disobedience" from Ghandi to Martin Luther King, Jr. is that the demonstrators or protesters shall be,
1 ) Civil
and
2) Those paricipating do not resist arrest.
3) They are to suffer the injustice they protest to make clear the law is immoral.
Then the law can be exposed,change can occur.”
