Well put Golden Rivet

People forget that nobody can control security they can only manage it to minimize risk. Security depends as in law too on the willingness of the majority of society members to comply with it.

Simply because rules are in all objectivity FICTITIOUS and depend on the subjects to comply to respect them to apply. If you don't think so what would you think would happen if just half of New Yorkers had gone rampaging and looting shops?
The New York police would have little else to do than stand by and watch.

Note everything that man has created out of ideas is all fictitious. Those include: Human rights, the constitution, rule of law, nationhood or sovereignty, political ideologies, influence or power and all kind of stipulated rules.

What is real is people and free will and the ability to judge between right or wrong and even the last is nonexistent in some people suffering from certain psychological deficiencies.
Though those things are fictitious it doesn't mean they are valueless as one of the goal of human being development is to be aspired to things that he believe or hold high regard to.
