Freedom doesn’t exist without law and order. Mobs lynch wrong people as often as not. It’s why the legal system should be above politics. It amazes me America has politically appointed judges. The judiciary should be separate from, and independent of, the government. If the legal system doesn’t work, law and order can break down and you get anarchy.
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.

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.
You mean like we have now with psychotic and treasonous christofascists trying to destroy freedom while you complain about “law and order”?
You have never existed in the real world, buddy

Hey you’re starting to get it!
Then as long as we agree anarchy is bad we basically are agreeing.
Anarchy is indeed bad. Unfortunately you don’t seem to grasp what anarchy is. Hint: it’s not street justice.
Street “justice” is a break down of law and order. No one is accountable for the mob and is not held to any rules. How is that an outbreak of anarchy?
Your “law and order”:

You really are desperate to defend fascists, aren’t you?
Really not, screw them, but with a functioning justice system. Mob justice is no justice at all.
