This author, an avowed libertarian anarchist which gives me many problems, writes so well on some topics that fit my Objectivism. In this article, it's in fact difficult for me to choose which quote to include to entice you to read his entire article. I ask that you take a few minutes to read it all.

"Michael Brown was a violent criminal. He committed a strong armed robbery, and when he feared being apprehended, he attacked a police officer. He got shot. If he was white, nobody would care. He is a non-story outside of liberal race hysteria. I am not going to care about Michael Brown just because he’s black, and if you do, then you’re a racist. Case closed.

Tamir Rice was shot for having what police believed was a gun. If he was white, liberals would not care, but I would. Whether the gun was real or fake is a non-issue. I live in New Hampshire, I openly carry a .38 revolver. People see my gun all the time. By the standards of the Cleveland PD, I should be gunned down in the street for this. Thus, if you care about the death of Tamir Rice, you should be complaining about gun control.

Eric Garner was seized upon by police for selling untaxed cigarettes. If he was white, liberals would not care, but I would. Executing people in the street for tax evasion is something people are rightfully upset about, but it’s not all that far off from what happens in tax courts every single day. I would not personally feel any better about this case, had Eric Garner been taken into custody without incident, locked in a cage, and stripped of his property. I don’t feel any better about it when hard working people try to keep their own money and are seized upon by the IRS and locked in cages and stripped of their property. Thus, if you care about the death of Eric Garner, you should be complaining about taxation.

Let’s Talk About Ownership

I’ll ask regular readers to forgive the repetitiveness of this, but on the off chance one of these race rioters happens to read this, I think it’s really important to understand this underlying concept. Property, and the ownership thereof, is inextricably linked to everything we do in society, and every action of government. Yet, so many people go through life without ever stopping to think about what ownership is."
