Where did the meme come from that civil disobedience requires you to sit in jail afterwards?

24. I think the problem many people have

is the way he went about things. Snowden says the government was spying on us, so in response, he gave our "private" info to any and every person he could, including the so called terrorists, but not before fleeing the scene and ensuring his own personal safety. He doesn't have to deal with the fallout of what might occur between the United States and other countries or random terrorist groups.

Imagine if a friend who you trusted with your personal information got mad at you--maybe because you installed hidden cams around the house to watch the nanny or something. Imagine if s/he, instead of trying to discuss things with you in a sane manner, decided to hand out free copies of your house key, alarm code, and a map of where the cams were installed?

There's a possibility that some of the information he revealed could directly or indirectly lead to another 3k or so deaths at some point in the future, but luckily for Snowden, he won't be here. Nope. He'll be relaxing in the wonderful, shining example of what a nation should be--the snoop free nation of......... Russia.
