Lefty think tank president says he’d have rushed St. Louis homeowners and beaten their brains in (Niskanen Center president)

Of course we’re talking about the St. Louis couple who brandished firearms at “peaceful protesters” who knocked down a gate and marched through their private property. Plenty of lefties can’t believe that they haven’t been arrested yet for pointing guns at people, but as The Federalist reports, left-wing think tank president Jerry Taylor wouldn’t have waited for the police. In a now-deleted tweet, he says he would have rushed the couple, beaten their brains in, and not apologized either.

“Taylor is the president of the Niskanen Center, a Washington, D.C. based think tank that advocates for market environmentalism and the adoption of a carbon tax system to combat global warming.”

Jerry Taylor would have been dead and the country a better place for it.

Libertarian is the handmaiden of the left.

I suspect that this guy is trying to get someone martyred.

BLM/Antifa desperately need martyrs - but so far Trump has stubbornly refused to provide them with any. Eventually, the armed American public will - and the Hate Whitey rhetoric will redouble.

His comments sure do a lot to tame the violence. Keep fanning the flames. I guess it’s better to have a society on the violent edge.

Taylor is a product of the CATO Institute. What is it with Libertarians? These people were defending their personal property, which would seem to be something Libertarians would endorse. They didn’t first expect government to defend them and their home.

“The lack of immediate response infuriates me“

Where in the United States can you expect immediate (lifesaving) police response?

Nowhere that I know.

The homeowners look like scared amateurs. So yeah, rush them. I’ll stand off to the side and watch, from behind cover. Those people were absolutely mentally and physically capable of blowing your head right off.

That wasn’t a bluff.

Like a squirt gun. And she had crazy scared eyes. Rushing her is a good way to get your head blown off. And there’s a weird thing about women. When they are mad or scared, with no training at all, and their eyes closed, they can squeeze off one shot and nail a shot from 75 feet.

Only a fool looks at a scared woman with a gun and says she obviously doesn’t have any training, I can rush her.

“...non-responsive police ignoring 911 calls”


I find this surprising. St. Louis, for all of its flaws, politically, knows the value of money. Downtown, where Bush Stadium, the Enterprise Arena, where the Blues play, and the Jones Dome where the Rams played are all within easy walking/biking distance some pretty bad neighborhoods. On game days and nights the police presence is overwhelming. I would think that a call from a gated community filled with very rich people would get instant response from the police.

What kind of a “libertarian” thinks it’s OK to invade somebody’s private property and beat their brains out? Taylor is either crazy or stupid or both.

Ma is holding her pistol like a squirt gun.

She was! I bet she has NEVER fired it before! If she pulled the trigger it probably would have jumped out of her hand.

A real Libertarian supports the right of self defense.

My dad and I deer hunted together for many years. When I was young and learning, he told me, “A gaping, sucking chest wound will do wonders.” I imagine that statement holds true for these “mostly peaceful protests”.

In my town cops could be at my door in 5 minutes to diffuse a standoff.
