Losing the rule of law

Have we, as a country, gone back to the days of lynch-mob justice? With what is going on in Florida (Black Panthers, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson) and in our nation's capital (congressional members), it certainly seems so. These people do not have all the facts and really should keep their mouths shut. But instead "race hustlers" are purposely inciting division in our country. Where is our president and our Department of Justice denouncing this incendiary language and illegal activity? With their silence, it seems to me that they are condoning it.

If we lose the rule of law, we are in dire straits.
