MLK wrote about his experiences in jail which was not whining. These protesters have also expressed their reasons for refusing to cooperate with what they too believe is a bad law. Which is also not 'whining'.
If you can find some example of their 'whining' please post it. Seems to me they have been well aware of the law, well aware from the beginning that by refusing to cooperate they would go to jail. In everything I have read from them I have seen no 'whining'. Nothing much different from the kind of explanations for their actions that we saw from MLK among others when they too decided not to cooperate with bad laws.
I find it irritating when people just make statements without backing them up.
