If your position as an anarchist is that people can only be ruled through consent, then there exist no means whereby those who don't consent to governance can be subjected to even the most valid and necessary of laws. A murderous thug is unlikely to consent to laws that would put him in jail. A thief is unlikely to consent to laws that would make his job of theft more difficult.
One could argue that it is the right of those being victimized to demand justice in these instances, but in that case would it not then be as much the right of Christian fundamentalists to claim that it is their right not to be subjected to the public displays of Islam? Would the Islamic folks then claim that they possessed some right to not hear the prayers of Christians?
If victims must consent to punish criminals, will they not consent for those who have committed even the most minor infractions to suffer the most heinous punishments?
If criminals must consent to be punished, will they not refuse to consent to such punishments, regardless of how deserved they may be?
