Shutting Down Freeways (the 101)?

It is by definition, Bodi. It is refusing the lawful commands of governmental authority in protest of unjust laws and policies.

Where does it say that it is illegal?

civil disobedience, the refusal to obey the demands or commands of a government or occupying power, without resorting to violence or active measures of opposition; its usual purpose is to force concessions from the government or occupying power. Civil disobedience has been a major tactic and philosophy of nationalist movements in Africa and India, in the American civil rights movement, and of labour, anti-war, and other social movements in many countries.



Sorry... it don't.

101 is a soft target.

I suggest they shut down, say, Hwy 49, instead.
 
Blocking highways is illegal... lock 'em up and put them to work digging ditches..

The vast majority of Californians (especially in L.A.) are made of sterner stuff than melting down, blubbering and praying for a fascist overlord over momentarily stopped traffic.

Why would Californians pray for a fascist overlord with bad hair when they already have one whose hair is so fabulous?

Ummm... okay?

What does that have to do with it being illegal to shut down highways?

I see that you chose to ignore the fact that you posted bullshit evidence that civil disobedience is illegal...

Civil disobedience is breaking laws or refusing orders (that will be backed by authority aka the law) in a nonviolent manner. The civil rights movement broke laws. Waving signs often isnt enough.

Civil disobedience is a symbolic or ritualistic violation of the law rather than a rejection of the system as a whole. The civil disobedient, finding legitimate avenues of change blocked or nonexistent, feels obligated by a higher, extralegal principle to break some specific law. It is because acts associated with civil disobedience are considered crimes, however, and known by actor and public alike to be punishable, that such acts serve as a protest.

I just used @Felis Leo 's own source to prove that he, and you, are wrong. At this point, merely stating your opinion is a losing argument.

*shrug*

Here is Merriam-Webster"

: refusal to obey governmental demands or commands especially as a nonviolent and usually collective means of forcing concessions from the government
