When government is above the law, people think its unjust and lawless. Philadelphia's crime problem is exacerbated by its public officials sending the wrong message to the city's inhabitants.

I read an interview of a lady who lived under the communists in the USSR. When asked how 5% of the population was able to control the other 95% she just said “they had all the guns”.

“Yet, what baffles me the most is that these leaders wonder where criminals get the idea that laws don’t apply to them! Don’t they see the example they set so publicly? The willful defiance has made headlines for weeks, reminding residents that the Council, mayor and police commissioner consider themselves to be above state law. Why shouldn’t average citizens be as well?... When government is above the law, people think its unjust and lawless.”

Sounds like a good concept to me, but who really believes it? I noticed how quickly people agreed that the President doesn’t have to obey the law so long as he claims it is necessary for the War on Terror. There’s always a good reason not to follow the law or the constitution. It takes men with strong backbones to stand up and demand that it be done.

It’s time for the people to act.
