It is an amazing thing to realize that out of the rule of thugs and lawlessness, law prevailed. In spite of the televised mobs and thugs who demand and intimidate we must continue to focus on the fact that loud, boisterous rioting and breaches of civil liberties and law are all methods employed by the lawless to strip away that which is inconvenient to them. The law is what stands in the way of the lawless from doing as they wish. To change the law and render victory to the mindless is to deny the wisdom of those who toiled to protect us in days gone by.
Their efforts to write reasonable limits on the lawless were for our protection from the libertines who have no morals or scruples. They had fenced us in with that which would guarantee our freedoms from mob rule. We should be very careful that we do not allow the thugs to intimidate us into changing that which was wisely put in place for the continuance of liberty and freedom. Loud brawlers are not prudent discerners of wisdom and need to put on the sidelines while level headed men and women consider law and order and what needs to be changed or reinforced to create a better future. - Dr. Jim Garrow -
