So anyone can do anything to you or your family and friends and it will mean nothing to anyone.
Whaaa...? How does this follow from what holmes said? Of course it would mean something to him. It would also mean something to me if I were to learn of it. It would probably mean something to everyone. The point is that it could mean something very different to different people; obvious, if someone were to do something bad to holmes' family and friends, it would mean something different to holmes than to the doer.

I have the perfect example that is in the news recently for that.
The Fred Phillips family is protesting at the funerals of servicemen who have been killed in Iraq. They are proclaiming each and every military personal killed in the war is God's judgekment against the U.S. for being tolerant of gays.
In repsonse, you have a group of Bikers that surround the place as a counter demonstration, and provide escorts for the families of the decseased, to protect them in the hour of grief.
In the phillips family eyes, they are doing God's work against the evil U.S.
In the eyes of the counter demonstrators, they are protecting the innocent families against the abuse fo the evil hate from the phillips family
It looks like morality is subjective in that instance.
