Rights are a social contract. You give up your rights once you violate those of others.

- sp4rki 16y agoOh I agree. The moment you go on a killing rampage to rescue your daughter from the cartels, you justify other people taking action against you to protect themselves. The thing is, there needs to be someone that resigns their rights and does the right (so to speak) thing. Someone needs to keep the terrorists at bay. Someone needs to protect the citizens from the gangs. Morally objectionable? Maybe. In the eyes of a few. In the eyes of the rest, these people are heroes.
- yters 16y agoNo, those actions are morally right. Those people have already violated their part in the social contract.
