Why Unjust Law Is Wrong

It is acceptable and even necessary to to protest unjust and unfair laws, because it is morally wrong. People who were being punished inhumanely because it was the law, “My teammates and I saw a man strung up by his neck - and set on fire.(James)” Lynching was a legal crime against black as a form of punishment. This is not a law a country is suppose to allow, allow such a violent law against a certain race in a way to show superiority. No one has to right or liberty to take someone’s life for the mere enjoyment of the ability. No one knows this man’s story, “Were his children waiting up for him?(James)” There is an answer to this question, the fact is that no one knows because that man did not have a chance at fighting for his innocence and
life. No one knows his name or the family that the mob took him from. That means he can not have a proper funeral where his family and friends could grieve and reminisce the times they shared.
They did not just disregard one life but many unknown lives that will forever wonder what happened and pray for his safe return. No one should be legally oppressed by an unjust and unfair law. I would disobey any law that would threaten my family and I, because Whether I take action or not my family and mine life would be in danger. The law states that assaulting a police officer is a crime worthy of jail. In a case where an officer is threatening to shoot my family member I will not simply watch as the officer pulls the trigger to purposely end my family member's life, I would take action with intent to harm the violent officer as if am fighting for my life. There is no guarantee that I will be successful but as long as I tried to prevent a tragedy from happening in my life, it will speak volumes of love and
how deeply I cherish it. It is not that it is the police that will arouse me into violent actions, it is if that any person were to threaten someone I love life is what will trigger the fury that I hold at bay. It is a crime to steal whether from the poor or rich you would be considered a thief. It is not a crime to feed your child, but what if stealing is the only way to feed your child. Laws such as lynching were dismissed fifty-one years ago, and the people who are suppose to protect did nothing until then. The issue with lynching is that a mob would drag people out of anywhere to hang, shoot, or beat them. If I had a weapon while a mob tried to drag my family member out of my home, I would use that weapon to try to kill them. It is against the law to kill, but lynching and murder are synonyms through definition and explaining. No authority can tell me that if the Knights of the White Camelia drags my father out of church beat him half to death just to hang him and set him on fire is anywhere near righteous. Back in those days for non-whites was a them or me situation when it came to life, it mostly would have been me. I would be willing to be punished, jailed, or executed to protest unfair any just laws; because I would never be truly free if was not treated as an equal.
A simple law that states where I have to eat classifies what I am. I say what not who because a human being would be able to choose where they want to go. A subhuman would have to be thought for. Therefore places me as a subhuman, which I refuse to be considered as such. I am a human being and shall be treated as such, I have the right to think for myself and be myself. I am already being punished by the unfair laws. That law punishes me for being me. Laws such as women not being able to vote or gain an education punishes me for being a female. This makes me feel as if am inferior to men, I will not sit quietly and be obedient to a law that berates me. Men and women have to be treated equal otherwise it would create a mental and emotional division between the sexes. These are the reasons why am willing to be punished, jailed, or executed to protest unfair and unjust
laws.
