I am no one who would ever say that vigilante justice is appropriate yet when the rule of law is being dismissed then the idea of vigilante justice becomes real to many others who cannot abide a blatant unjust society. I would fight like all get out to change the rules of law that are failing because working within the system of rules is the best and most efficient process for equality and justice to prevail. Now there may be others who think that forcing the lawmakers to act through coercion and duress will bring change about more quickly. I am not one of those who does think that. Another can of worms is just waiting to be opened when we set out to force actions that are not within the law.
I would hope that our citizenry would be wise enough to understand how important it is for all of Americans to live under the same umbrella of justice yet, at the moment we are not there. So electing politicians who will obey the oath they are given and put our constitution first and foremost is vital. Regardless of political party the role of our government is to be absolute in its function to protect democracy and the rule of law. Those who would challenge that, need to be put out with no uncertain doubt. I still believe that our democracy is the best vehicle for change without having to use vigilantism.
Another election is 11 months away, 337 days to be exact, and at that time we will have the opportunity to change our society for the better. Whom we elect to govern our laws and policies is more important now in this age of trump cronyism. The need to end the disparity in how the wealthy and politically connected are adjudicated in comparison with the working middle poor class is within our grasp. The desire to rule by mob at times when the injustice of our system is being abused is understandable but not acceptable. We can make the change necessary to improve and protect our democracy but we have to do it with the rule of law and not from outside it.
