Rittenhouse and Daisy Dukes

Excerpt:
"Whether Rittenhouse made a poor decision by venturing into a riot isn’t the question at hand. It is whether that decision forfeits his right to defend himself against a rioting mob.

If he does not have that right – because he put himself there, because he asked for it – was looking for it, as rape defendants used to claim about their victims – then a woman doesn’t have the right to complain when she is attacked after having gone into a seedy bar, say. Or the wrong part of town – wearing the wrong kinds of clothes.

It’s nonsense, of course – in both cases."

    So what's the excuse for governments not taking charge and protecting the property, the persons and the contracts of the populous?

    Judging by government behavior, THEY DID ASK FOR IT!

    We the People lend to government our power so they can govern

    we really need to rethink that process and the agreements we made in setting that up

    As the pigs say, “All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.” George Orwell. “Animal Farm.”

    Nicely presented by the Libertarian garage consortium.

    In my years of working in Washington, I observed most of the elected ones think DC is their home. They forget where they came from and why they are there. They get seduced by all the parties going on all the time. I got stacks of invitations while there. They only saw me as a gateway to lots of money.
