Black Proglodytes and their Racially Stockholm Syndromed White serfs all willingly suffer from Black Libtardation Mythology Psychosis...These unstable, feral imbeciles should ALL be heavily dosed with Lithium, and carted off to Obamacare’s Soylent Green Cracker Company

That’s what happens when you don’t give the cops their cut of the action.

A carton of cigarettes in Virginia is $30, but in New York City or other high-tax states, it can be $90 or more. That's just one carton.

Used to get a carton for less than $2 in NC in the 1960s.

I haven’t seen it determined where Garner got the cigarettes.
IMO the police went waaaay over the line in his arrest. What happened to Tasers?

Of course- they hit the lotto

Makes you sick- attack a cop and set up your kids for life (or at least until they blow it all in the stupidest ways possible).

Paying taxes supports the shakedown racket known a 'government'.

I paid $9.35 for a pack in Manhattan, and that was 8 years ago

(note: quit 6 years ago)

I think Eric Gardner was funding Eric Gardner.

Your $2.00 (baseline: 1960) carton of smokes should, by inflation, cost $16.04 today. Looks like the real price of cigs has approximately doubled.

The nanny state bans and controls everything - selling individual cigarettes, 20 oz sodas, lard for frying. When everything is controlled, everything you do is potentially illegal. Eric Garner was killed by a random, bureaucratic nanny-welfare state and one of its thousands of ridiculous rules.

When the cost of a pack of cigarettes vs. taxes paid make the potential profit $5 per pack, criminals of every sort will get involved. No different from prohibition

New York taxes, on cigs, created the market.

I pay $7 buck in California for a pack.

But, New York thinks they are worth double?

I just bring my own, when going to Manhattan and if there were a more reasonable outlet to purchase them, you bet I’d shop there.

Even if it was on a street corner.

I’m with you in principle but even I would rather it go to DC than Hezbollah!

OK so this is by far the craziest reason I've seen trying to justify the killing of Gardner. Now he had to die to keep money from the Mafia and Muslim terrorists?

A shakedown racket is a shakedown racket. DC just has nicer suits.
