Please look up the definition of reckless, for example:

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/reckless

reckless: marked by lack of proper caution : careless of consequences

I don't see either of these applying, proper caution was there since it
wasn't likely anybody else would be affected. The consequences were
obvious and again wouldn't hurt anybody else.

What's wrong with a little rebellion every once in a while? Rebellion
isn't necessarily a bad thing. I'd go so far as to say that a society
NEEDS people who question why things are the way they are and challenge
"norms".

A good example recently was a protest in Portland where a bunch of
people, men AND women walked down the street topless. Their argument:
why is it OK in our society for a man to be topless but not a women?

When you agree with them or not, asking the question is IMHO a GOOD
thing for society.
