Violating those laws was illegal, but not immoral.

It's been close to an entire day, and noone has bothered to make the comparison between the embrace of morality as a justification for violating a "bad" law, and
the disdain for legal process more recently by some local officials. The club* is there lying on the floor, people. Let's see someone get up and use it!

* The metaphorical club, sgt -- not you. Apologies for the confusion. Perhaps we could change your moniker -- it could have the benefit of upgrading your technology and avoiding future mishaps -- maybe "sgtAK47"?
