Comment on This is getting bad. Like, really really bad.

The purpose of the law is to protect property not you and not your rights. That’s pretty evident in Trump’s presidency.

I mean that’s your model. As far as it’s absolute, it’s wrong. There are good laws that don’t protect mere property: murder, rape, assault, etc. And we don’t want vigilante justice dealing with these things. Basically I can admit laws can be unjust, but you can’t admit laws can be just. In such a case, you need to meet your burden of proof.
