That's a mad-max society waiting to happen... a world that the squeegee kid weighing in at a buff 118lbs while holding a bucket of soapy water and wearing an ANARCHY t-shirt that, by virtue of the shirt, apparently believes he can survive in.
If you saw someone being stabbed and you had a gun, would you shoot the person with the knife? The law says equal force so you would be breaking the law.
If you saw someone trapped inside a burning building, would you go in a rescue them? That would be trespassing.
Throughout history morality and ethics have caused people to challenge the law not blindly follow it. There was a time when it was the law that coloured people had to ride in the back of the bus, women were not allowed to vote and flogging was an acceptable punishment. Was it morally and ethically sound to abide by the law to prevent anarchy?
