    That is how civil disobedience works. Nelson Mandela was in prison for years.

      He also did some fucked up violent shit to get his point across. Look up necklacing.

        My understanding was that he did some kind of tacit endorsement of necklacing. Can’t recall if he was popularising songs that described it or something. However pretty sure he was not personally involved.
