If you have differing statistics, do bring them forward. Otherwise, your claim is hollow.

Oh fuck off you ghouls. I hope your company is nationalized and burned to the ground just for shit and giggles.

It'd be one thing if it was massive civil disobedience to try and shut the concentration camps down, but a single man trying to shoot at it and throw molotov cocktails? Even if I can sympathise with the underlying motivation (y'know, trying to save people from concentration camps), it's madness.
The reprehensible nature of the attack has no bearing on the fact that the GEO Group is profiting from concentration camps and shouldn't exist.

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Fair, but elaborate on "civil disobedience" in this context.

It shouldn't be your go-to response.

One thing that many protestors were doing was block the entrances to keep the concentration camp employees from leaving. If their victims can't leave, then neither should they. That was good praxis.
