If one violates @ court injunction, he must expect to be arrested for contempt of court, just asa ball player who disputes the umpire'’s decision with “free” speech must expect to be fined or put out of the game for contempt of the umpire. Whether the court's injunction or the umpire’s decision was right or wrong, in your opinion or mine, the hands of constituted au- thority must be upheld in the in- terests of good citizenship and proper Aiscipline.
