I'm not impressed with the idiots who break windows at Starbucks or the GAP but I believe civil disobedience has its place.

It won't change instantly, if that is what you mean. It will take longer and acts like that will speed it up. HOWEVER, the price you pay is that it becomes hard to draw a line as to how far is too far.
It is going to be hard to draw the fine line between civil disobedience and breaking windows. At some point someone is going to cross the line and a new line and the newer line.
Couldn't the window breakers also say that if Rosa had complied, who knows how long before they get equality and therefore, if they simply not set fires or damage property, when will they get their turn? What about the people who then justify killing abortion doctors because they can't get satisfaction in court and this can propel a new age where abortion is illegal?
