In my opinion, some people think something is “wrong” only if the laws prohibit it. Meanwhile, if the law allows it, it’s all right. We must not accept this attitude because “legal” and “moral” are two difference things.
Something maybe considered as a legal activity in a country but does not mean that it is moral. For example, in some country, sex worker is allowed by the rules and law but it is not morality. Law prohibits things that might be morally neutral or even good, namely homosexual, lesbian smoking habit in campus.
We do not take the law into our own hand. According to the newspaper report, there is a man was beaten to death by a group of people after he allegedly tried to grab a waist pouch from a trader. Even though some of the victims maybe suffered from such crimes, it does not justify the actions taken by those who caught them according to law. There are laws in this country.
