I think a lot of confusion would be cleared up if more people saw the distinction between justice and morality.

Is it morally justified to tear up monuments & statues or should we petition for removal of things we "don't like"?

Is it justice if we are allowed to paint public buildings & streets with certain slogans but get arrested if we attempt to paint over them

Public property is a non-sequitur so you can't easily determine what to do about it.

Destruction of private property without permission is always unjust, sometimes immoral.

I don't have to determine what to do. There are LAWS that are being ignored in the name of "morality???"

Who makes these decisions. When laws are not enforced it opens up WAY too many issues. Pass laws to allow this or we become the wild west again

Nice pieces.

I watched someone paint slogans in the street while the police watched but arrested the one that painted over them. BTW...both were black.

They are taking sides. Laws and rules can not be so blurry or the police get to "decide fate"

This says a black woman loses her freedom when he disagrees with the masses in "control". This one example proves tyranny is accepted only if you are part of one certain faction. Does this mean only certain black lives matter...that is what I am hearing

The police (or judges, etc.) always decide the fate. The rule of law is a myth perpetuated to make you think government is fair and impartial.

It's not.

Private arbitration and emergent civil law is better and more accountable, though still human.

Agree but that is not in place. For now law is (well I was promised that) Just saying if we are told that law is irrelevant then lookout. Anarchy is coming as close as your backdoor. Get ready because there will be nobody to call but your friends
