Anarchists and the LawI was just watching The Colbert Report, when a rather intresting point was brought up that really did give me something to think about, and the more I think of it, the more intriguing it does become to me. Steven Colbert was interveiwing this blogger whom was arrested becasue he was video typing an anarchsit protest in San Francisico, and the FBI wanted the vedio type, and he refused to give it over to them.
And well for anyone whom has seen The Colbert Report, you know how these things go, the interview was more or less a mock, with back and forth bantering and Colbert playing the role of the repbublican conservitive, but one intresreting point was brought up. The blogger was using the 1st ademendement and the freedom of press in his defense and argument, which is valid, and I do agree with him, but then Colbert said, but these are anarchist, they are trying to chuck out the window the very same laws you are now trying to protect them with.
And though of course the laws have to apply to everyone, and the same lawys must or should apply to everyone reguardless of who they are, or what they beleive, but it still does make a currious point. For would it not be in fact hypritical for the anarchsist to try and use though very laws they are against and want to get rid of, for thier own personal advantage? And would that not be going against the very nature or anarchy to then use the consistution in thier defense?
Now I personally beleive that the blogger had every right not to turn over the type, and I think anarachist have the same rights to gather and protest and express thier ideas as long as it is peaceable, and from what I understand, there was nothing acutally illigal about the protest, there was no vioence or riots, they just wanted a recrod and to idenfity the anarchist, but it is just something to think about.
