You are right that individuals make up a
physical community... And communities are composed of ideas moreso than the people who reside in them...
In no way am I a legal expert. But some laws are made to be broken when the spirit of the law is unsound. It was the law that forced my Afrikan ancestors to be enslaved... It was the edict by President Lincoln, nullifying the official enslavement of Afrikans...
The incarceration rates are increased for people of color for a reason... The reason becomes quite explicit when you re-read the 14th amendment of the US Constitution...
Not everyone does wrong who is imprisoned. Some people are political prisoners--and that depends on your definition and interpretation... Look at the psychology of OJ Simpson. If he was any average Joe, he'd be the first bruh in the cage. But 'cuz he was a superstar and SOME folks found ways to pimp him off and make money, if he lived in jail, the "golden goose" would dry up...
Besides, have any of you EVER been merely ACCUSED of a crime? Once you are caught up into that psychotic profiling, it is extremely hard to get OUT without deep down hook ups. You MUST be BLESSED in order to find your way outta of prison, no matter if you goto trial or not... Those in government DO believe, with cyncism and sarcasm intact, that one is guilty before being proven innocent... It is no wonder why that Judge in Florida cursed out the social worker for not doing her job in the case of Rilya Wilson... Without connections, you would need to use Jedi Mind Tricks...
Here's a tough question to bake your noodle, based on folks blind, sheep-like mentality here:
Without any spiritual connection, whatsoever, why is murder wrong? You cannot use God, Jesus Christ, Allah, Buddha or Hinduism... Only secular reasoning... And and don't say because it's the LAW--laws are made to be broken... Why is murder wrong???
(I know why it is wrong, but that is because I believe in a Higher Power and the Universe--so secularly, in reality--I cannot come up with a good answer)
