I said nothing about violence - in fact, your comment is the first on this page to mention violence - so I don't really understand where you're coming from.

Ok, what's a better word? I mention violence because it is most common dividing line, but I think what I mean could be called "resistance". Whether we call it violence or resistance doesn't change my previous comment; as I clearly described, civil disobedience is typically considered to be passively accepting the consequences as part of a public display.
