how does that address the point that committing crimes against bad people is still bad? if you start to make exceptions for people you don't like you're just flushing the whole Enlightenment "let's stop persecuting Protestants/Catholics when they're not in power" thing down the toilet.

Persecuting based on religion: bad.

Persecuting based on class in a society with such an unequal distribution of wealth? Fair game.

They're already at war with us; don't carry their water for them and pretend we're "equal before the law" or some such nonsense. We clearly aren't.
