Yes, I think it is the violence that is the problem. Hobbs seems to be doing everything she can to enable the cartels as well as the cabal. What do you do if you are a Judge and you get told that if you rule against Hobbs that your daughters and granddaughters will be raped and murdered by gangsters. Everybody has something they don't want to lose - the terrifying thing is going to happen when ordinary citizens get so pissed off with the lawlessness that they start using the same tactics to the corrupt law enforcement establishment. Everytime the cabal plumbs a new low, they normalise it to be used against their operatives.
