Civil Disobedience

Is Civil Disobedience a crime? I would argue that when masses of citizens use non-violent actions of civil disobedience against government, it isn’t a crime. Martin Luther King did this well and he changed the course of history. However, when a few zealots enter military bases, they are breaking the law.
Here is an article trying to spin realty, saying that breaking the law is alright, and I think it’s just wrong. Green Peace broke the law.
“Is painting an anti-war message on the stern of a military supply vessel a crime?”
“all entered an RAF base at Fairford and attempted to immobilise B52 bombers”
” Marchwood Military Port and occupied tanks, locking themselves with chains and padlocks.”
