From Hamlet:
Polonius: My Lord, I will give them all they deserve.
Hamlet: Good heavens, man, give them more than that! If you pay everyone what they deserve, would anyone ever escape a whipping? Treat them with honor and dignity. The less they deserve, the more your generosity is worth. Lead them inside.
"Something similar"? Similar to peacefully livestreaming in a public place, outside a public trial, causing no uproar, and breaching no peace?
Another favorite of mine, A Man for All Seasons:
Roper: So now you'd give the Devil benefit of law!
More: Yes. What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?
Roper: I'd cut down every law in England to do that!
More: Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned round on you — where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country's planted thick with laws from coast to coast — man's laws, not God's — and if you cut them down — and you're just the man to do it — d'you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I'd give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety's sake.
When our reasons for not caring about injustice is that the victim of said injustice does not deserve justice, and is an evil man who does not deserve the rights of an Englishman, then we are sacrificing the very principles on which the English common law, Magna Carta, the English Bill of Rights of 1689, and sending Rumpole of the Bailey doing back flips in his fictional grave.
Here, some are expressing schadenfreude over the scumbag Tommy Robinson getting what he deserves. Yeah! Give the asshole what he deserves! Let him have it! Cut a road through the law to get at that Devil, Tommy Robinson.
When that law is down, however, there will be no place for the rest of us to hide, because Tommy Robinson's rights are our rights. A press blackout ordered by a judge over reporting the fact of the arrest of Tommy Robinson? So, they're going to do it - pick him up for livestreaming, peacefully, in a public place, and then tell everyone else it can't be talked about - we want no inquiry in to this, or the inquirers, too, will find themselves rooming with Tommy Robinson. Shut up, all of you!
No liberal can support what happened and still call himself a liberal.
