I might be an anarchist, but if I see a gang of kids going down the street, methodically knocking out car windshields with baseball bats -- I'm calling the cops. And I want them to have handcuffs, mace and guns.
In this case we have your opinion that windshields should not be knocked out, and the opinion of the "gang" that windshields should be knocked out. What makes your opinion that the windshields should remain intact superior to the opinion that they should be shattered?
Is your attempt to call the police merely another way of saying you would resort to the use of force (handcuffs, mace, and guns) to enforce your opinion regarding windshields? Is force to be the ultimate determanant of what is "right" or "wrong"? Does that mean that if the gang has overbearing force to use against the police, then they are now morally right regarding the windshields?
