Whereas I prefer an organized rules-based justice system over anarchy and vigilantism. Because who knows when you or I might end up being in the "disliked" category?

    A rules based system works when every player follows the rules. One side is actively dismantling and abandoning the rules. Do we still keep playing with our hands tied behind our backs?

    You are essentially saying the crowd has to do its own justice.

    It's a courtroom, not a voting booth.

    A judge holding a defendant in contempt of court for violating a serious order to not bring recording equipment into the courtroom, is neither "anarchy" nor "vigilantism."

    In an "organized rules-based justice system," a defendant who violated a court order by bringing recording equipment into the courtroom would be held in contempt, and depending on the severity, may face jail time (such as perhaps if that recording equipment has facial recognition technology).

    This isn't about whether or not we "dislike" him. But just because he's widely disliked doesn't make him immune to prosecution.

    What the fuck are you smoking?
