If shutting down a factory is not against the law, then I may be wrong, but I’m not ashamed of being wrong on this. Shutting down townhalls is thuggish.

There is something to be said for civil disobedience. We now look back on civil rights civil disobedience with great respect. You know, MLK and unjust laws and all that. Of course laws prohibiting blocking traffic are not unjust in the sense as laws preventing black people from voting - but the focus of OWS is laws which are certainly arguably unjust, but which cannot directly be broken? (How can you use civil disobedience to break a law that allows lobbyists to corrupt our political processes to reward inequality?)
