Non-violent civil disobedience has long been used as a means of effective protest. MLK and Gandhi are just two that have used it as means of progressing a political ideal. Your last sentence would seem to suggest that you are okay with civil disobedience when you agree with an ideal and against when you disagree. Or maybe I am reading too much into it and you believe that both men were criminals that didn't have to follow the rule of Law and therefore evil?
