While there are are potentially multiple implications depending on what people are doing to take the law into their own hands, primarily I was referring to disobedience to the governing authorities, which we are required to submit to so long as we are not commanded to disobey God. On top of that, vigilante justice is often times not tempered and results in further injustice.

That's a question obedience, then, not morality.

Perhaps not exactly, but there is no exact scale. The point is to maximize the right while minimizing the wrong, and sometimes the best action is indirect rather than direct.

Defense of Others has a more direct impact on what's "right" than legislation ever will.

The vast majority of the resistance was non-combative, though.

Keep reading to see what happened next. I think you're going to be surprised at how combative things got over there.

It doesn't need a cancellation notice. Context dictates the command.

In Christianity, obedience to the civil authorities is a matter of morality.

Not necessarily. If a person engages in a defense of others in various ways at a local abortion clinic, it may shut down services temporarily, but not enough to stop the hundreds of thousands of abortions performed each year across the country. Elections are the only way to realistically change this from a political perspective.

Not necessary. You already stated that you don't think "the response is appropriately scaled to the belief". Perhaps you should let me know what the response should be based on the belief, then.
