Sorry for not being clear. The law would say that it's a criminal act. But law is only words on paper, on the word, it is the sensibilities of the people that gives law its force.

Most people here would condemn the founder and think the gang was justified in bullying the founder. Take a look at any comment thread.

Hence law is of no effect.

He's got a good point, though. Consider how many people go flying by a SPEED LIMIT 55 MPH sign at 70 mph.

Or the ear-to-ear grin on the mug shot of the mom who was arrested for beating the guy who molested her kids. I'm sure at that point the cops were just going through the motions and she was released in hours.
