According to <a href="https://mastodon.green/tags/wilhoitslaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wilhoitslaw</span></a> the purpose of the law is never to persecute the in-group. <br>Only the out-group may be punished. The in-group can only be protected.</p>
