When is it justifiable for protesters and activists to break the law for the sake of their cause?
I fully support protesters and activists when it comes to the causes that they fight for in the world. I’m a big support of Free Speech. While I have never been in a protest or been an activist, I do speak my mind to the fullest. And that’s what protesters and activists to do for their causes, which can be a government protest or a protest for human rights or anything like that. They are allowed to voice their opinions on those situations by protesting. Protesting and activism has been around for ages. Some of the best known positive activists have been Martin Luther King Jr and Gloria Steinem. Mr. King fought for more civil rights for the African American community and Mrs. Steinem fought for more rights for women. As for the best known negative activists, The Westboro Baptist Church is one of the best known in the US. They protest at public events and funerals with them being anti-gay protests. But all of these people, while you can agree or disagree with their causes, do have the right to protest, even if it’s good or bad. Now, let’s get to the question, when is it justifiable for protesters and activists to break the law for the sake of their cause. I only have one word for it, Never. You should never break the law for your cause. The law allows you to protest your cause to the fullest, without breaking it. That's the reason we have free speech. When you break the law, you are hurting your cause. You are also putting yourself and others in danger by breaking the law because they can turn into riots and they can become very violent which can lead to serious injuries or even death. But I also like to point out that the police in these situations are also the causes of violence when they push the boundaries and the law during the protests. Some person can be minding their own business and then all of the sudden the police are attacking them. There’s no reason for that. You’re job is to keep the peace but you don’t have to overdo it when you don’t have too. You just hope that all protests can be peaceful were violence and breaking the law doesn’t have to happen but sadly, that isn’t always the case. You can say a lot in a positive way when you do a peaceful and respectful protest. But you also can say a lot in a negative way when you don't do a peaceful and respectful protest. You really don't want to do the second part, as it hurts you and your cause and it can hurt others in a violent way.
