This tweet on the page of Shaun King was originally posted by J L Tierney. “The people who sheltered Jews in hidden rooms and attics and basements during the Holocaust were breaking the law. The people who smuggled 7,000 Jews out of Denmark were breaking the law. Schindler was breaking the law. The Underground Railroad broke the law. Harriet Tubman broke the law. MLK broke the law. Hell, the fucking Boston Tea Party broke the law.

If saving friends and family and innocent people is breaking the law, break the law. If standing up for truth and justice is breaking the law, break the law.

The law is unjust. The law is morally wrong.

Break the fucking law.”

Shaun King’s follow up tweet: “If we must break the law to protect the vulnerable among us, then BREAK THE FUCKING LAW. This is where we are right now.”
