Rights Violation or a Complete Jerk?

[Doc]

Doc is right, but to a degree. You see, without demonstrators and civil disobedience in the US, blacks would still be in slavery, women would not have any rights, and quite possibly we would all have bar-codes on our forearms as part of the patriot act. However, on the other side of the coin, civil disobedience often leads to crime and unwarranted riots, such as the L.A. riots and more globally, riots that often happen after soccer games. So how do you know when "enough is enough?" I think that is the real issue, if this man went 'too far' to demonstrate his rights. I don't think so, but he could have done it without so much contempt in his actions, which probably could have avoided him being arrested' his contempt for the law is what went too far in my opinion, but he was right to question the authority of the store manager.

Of course I am right. :rolleyes: If more nancy individuals stood up for themselves, there wouldn't be a need for people like me to make mountains out of a molehill. The problem would take care of it self. The problem is, to many people just bend over and take it for whatever reason. If folk would just stop doing that, I'd be stuck with eternal boredom. Not a pleasant thought.

Seriously though, all jokes and sarcasm aside... People need to understand that they must rock the boat once in a while or else pay the consequences. The tree of liberty must be watered with a little blood now and then, typically your own. People need a stronger sense of social responsibility... "Oh, I wont bother doing anything about this because somebody else will" and then thinking that the people that go out and do their work for them are jerks and assholes because they were to bumfark lazy or scared to do it for themselves. Folk would rather go about being quiet well programmed citizens, submissive, complacent, head and eyes down on the ground at their own feet ignoring the wrong around them, the very idea of causing a social stink causing them to shake and tremble from bad nerves. You might embarrass your self or draw attention to your self? OH NOES!!!

Doc, speaking with tongue partially in cheek.
