Only people who respect the law, obey it. Only those people who care about a civil society will seek to maintain it. Only those people who care about the Republic will labor to keep it.
The loss of loss of a single life can truly affect many, but how a life is lost will affect many in different ways. American citizens were capable of watching in dismay as the riots over one man’s unjust and tragic death could instigate so much mayhem and destruction. Death in itself can be unjust, for many tragic reasons. People whose lives have been claimed by the COVID-19 can be seen in such a way. In another sense, the recent, yet untimely, death of the Christian apologist, Ravi Zacharias, at 74 years of age, could be considered unjust. Ravi Zacharias lost his battle with cancer even though he had vitality and had a strong spirit to serve God and all the people he encountered.
Yet, from time to time in the United States of America, individuals and mobs rise up in great anger or indignation over serious injustice involving the unjust taking of human life.
