Whenever there is some trouble or the emphasis of such by news media organizations or similar, the kneejerk response by a wide swath of Americans, though not all, is that the solution to this problem lies in our need for more "law and order". Not too surprisingly, those that cry the largest and longest for more law and order, are either the direct or indirect beneficiaries of such, for instance, law enforcement, justice departments, and those that work with them or on their periphery, as well as those that are convinced that people that do not look similar to their self, or act similar to their self, or are just sojourners within the community, should be carefully monitored and contained. In short, the cries of law of order aren't really requests for the law being better applied, or for more order in an age of chaos, but more akin to protectionism of the status quo, and thereby for the law to be unequally applied so as to protect and serve those that are the favored class in opposition mainly to those that might infringe upon such status.
Ever since civilization began, hierarchies have been created, so too, in the time of Christ, there was such a hierarchy within the Jewish religion, as well as in the governance of the people by Roman authorities. As Jesus the Christ, became something more than a mere sideshow to the common people, but someone that appeared to threaten the very veracity and legitimacy of the Sanhedrin, such a persona of Christ, became the most dangerous of all men, for a man that answers solely to the power above, solely to Truth, is a man that cannot be reasoned or compromised with, and hence, such a man can invalidate and compromise the very power of the elders of the Sanhedrin, even though that may not be a primary or secondary mission of Christ. Additionally, while Rome was rather liberal in permitting the religious practice of Jews, as well as allowing the Jews to take care of religious affairs within their own, they had no liberal attitude whatsoever against any entity that threatened to upend the law and order of Rome, so that, once Jesus was labeled a rebel, and arrested for sedition, Jesus, was therefore subject to the full penalty of that Roman law which was crucifixion. In short, Jesus, was caught between the authority of the Jewish religion, as represented by the Sanhedrin, who considered certain acts of Jesus to be blasphemous, and therefore subject to being stoned to death, and the Roman law, which brokered no rebellion, whatsoever, and utilized capital punishment as a matter of course in order to maintain their orderly rule.
All of the above, would imply, that if Christ had been alive in this present age of law and order in the United States, and considered to be a danger to a particular religion for his views that embarrass as well as making hypocrites of the highest powers of that religion, while, on the other hand, being perceived, rightly or wrongly, to be a mortal threat to the state of governance in an era of terrorism, law and order would do what it always does, which is to manufacture a case, using whatever means so necessary, against such so as to silence or to minimize this person, as well as to conceivably to take extreme prejudicial actions so as to eliminate such a person, once and for all.
Those that cry the longest and loudest for more law and order are, in fact, the very same, as those that cried in that day and age: "crucify Him."
