I think they prefer, "By any means necessary."
Dr. King prescribed four steps for direct action:
1) Identify if an injustice is occurring (including an "unjust law" defined as a law that does not uniformly cover or enforced on all American's equally).
2) Negotiate. Peacefully but without hesitation or pulling any verbal punches about the truth.
3) Purify. This means only those with the emotional strength NOT TO BE PROVOKED must be identified and then prepared.
4) Direct action. Peaceful civil obedience. No violence. No property damage. Shame the opposition without giving them an excuse. Powerful non-violence.
The don't seem to have time for that.
