This Black History Month remember human trafficking was legal. Slavery was legal. Jim Crow was legal. US Govt paying reparations to white enslavers but not to the enslaved was legal. Prison slavery still IS legal.
Do not let legality & power be a measure of morality & justice.
-Qasim Rashid
Law isn't perfect, and must constantly be challenged, but law based democracy is the best society humans have come up with. Plenty of bad law, for example, the war on drugs is stupid, like prohibition alcohol was. But mob lynching can do be part of any justice system.
You sound like a guy who'd be trying to reason with Nazi Stormtroopers as they were shoving you into the boxcar.
No great injustices were ever solved through nonviolent means. None.Power does not abdicate itself because you begged for it to.
Your "law and order":
