An entirely apt analogy, although you don't realize why.
No actually the analogy was made in direct response to this statement you made...
"One side values the rule of law and the criminal justice system, and the other values vigilantism"
It was to remind you that your side DID NOT "value the rule of law and the criminal justice system" as it was applied to George Zimmerman.
After the verdict came down, many on your side started advocating vigilantism and publically called for Zimmerman to be hunted down and killed.
Both sides "respect the criminal justice system and the rule of law" when the criminal justice system and the rule of law goes their way. But not when it doesn't.
And that's not always a bad thing. When the criminal justice system and the rule of law was protecting bigotry and repression and lynchings and murdering of blacks in the south, according to you and floridatexan we should have continued to abide by it.
