This is the start of a revolution

That poor dumb bastard with a concealed weapon thought he was going to be a hero, but just got himself killed.

I'm a permit holder. Any permit holder knows that a permit to carry does not deputize anyone.

His first priority was his own safety, not that of others. He may have assessed that, made the assumption that this was the only shooter and decided that he had the opportunity to prevent the death of others and made his choice.

It is easy to second guess this man. If he had seen both of them would he have done the same thing? If there truly had been only one shooter, right now we'd likely be rejoicing that he took action. Perhaps his actions slowed them down enough to prevent them from harming others... We might not ever know. All I can think is that his intentions were good, if not perfectly sound.

Speaking on his Internet show on Wednesday, libertarian pundit, gun rights activist and former resident of a D.C. prison Adam Kokesh partially defended the actions of Jerad and Amanda Miller, the far-right extremists who recently killed two police officers, a civilian and themselves in a Las Vegas public shooting.

Railing against the Southern Poverty Law Center and USA Today for acknowledging how the Millers were influenced by Kokesh, the host swore vengeance, saying that the SPLC and USA Today are “not going to get away with it this time.”

He also argued that because America’s political institutions — including the police — have become “homicidal … against freedom,” it was wrong to see the Millers’ unprovoked killing spree as acts of murder rather than self-defense.

“Let’s say someone is going around stabbing people, like, just stabbing people,” Kokesh said. “It’s not murder to kill someone in that situation. And [as] has been pointed out about the Vegas shooting, when you have police officers that are going around and doing violent things all day long, and then they take a break for lunch, well, it doesn’t mean all of the sudden they’re innocent or they’re being peaceful because they’re taking a break from all of their other anti-freedom, rights-violating violence,” he continued.

Kokesh argued next that the Millers had, if anything, saved lives by murdering two police. “Think of how many lives might have been saved by this incident,” he urged his audience. “How many people would these cops have killed had they not been killed?”

“We can only hope that some of the officers in America are listening — if you care about your own safety — to understand that you are hurting people,” Kokesh threatened, “and you can only push them so far before they hit a breaking point.”

Ultimately calling the attack an example of “not necessarily unjustified violence,” Kokesh insinuated that the Millers’ killing spree was the government’s fault.

Uh huh.

Uh huh.

So if we want to think in absolutes where examples of whackjobs represent entire populations, Republicans want to rape people and Libertarians want to kill people - guess I better vote Democrat!
