No that's uncivil disobedience. The difference is inaction vs action.

		Civil means nonviolent. There were laws against blacks sitting at certain counters in some areas of the US in the past. Those laws were broken without violence. That's civil disobedience. Please at least try to understand what you're talking about; you're embarrassing yourself.
