I always talk about how laws and morality aren’t the same. The goto example is cities making it illegal to feed people. Houston put someone on trial for this a while back (he was acquitted because juries sometimes dont suck).

But I think I have a new example. Remember that time the health insurance ghoul was gunned down. Can you BELIEVE that obviously good act was illegal?!
