JR and Jackson This is the USA a country built on law and justace. Taking the law into your own hands breed’s contempt of the law. I’m sure this is fine by you until you are on the receiving end. Then you will sing a different tune. God deliver us from the arrogant bigots that infest this country. Only the intelligent individuals of the USA stand between the mentality of the mob and the rule of law. In 1866, the Supreme Court wrote: "It is the birthright of every American citizen when charged with a crime, to be tried and punished according to law. The power of punishment is alone through the means, which the laws have provided for that purpose, and if they are ineffectual, there is immunity from punishment, no matter how great the offender the individual may be, or how much his crimes may have shocked the sense of justice of the country, or endangered its safety. By the protection of the law, human rights are secured; withdraw that protection, and they are at the mercy of wicked rulers, or the clamors of an excited people."Ex Parte Milligan , 71 U.S. (4 Wall.) 2, 118-19, 18 L.Ed. 281 (1866). God deliver us from people like you.
