So no one in the “black community” has a job? If so, how are they able to protest, riot, sit-in, demonstrate and petition 7 days a week?

In fueling the notion that, to this day, white America remains consumed by “racism,” self-avowed “libertarians,” whether they realize it or not, hasten liberty’s extinction by exacerbating the steady impulse toward ever greater concentrations of power.

I suspect many self-declared Libertarians are in reality Liberals embarrassed by the egregious overreach of Leftism.

The same suspect Libertarians also favor government sanctioned homosexuality and the termination of nascent human life. Not very libertarian in my opinion.

I get that Jack here is slamming libertarians. And that’s fine. They are at fault.

What I don’t get is exactly how libs are to blame and how exactly they are wrong with respect to Ferguson.

The riots and looting breech the libertarian “fist reaches my nose” rule. The rights of the rioters and looters end, when they actually riot or loot.

A lot of libertarians are just plain anarchists.

Infinitely more disturbing for the lover of liberty is that ever growing legions of “libertarians” are regurgitating this same talking point. Moreover, the libertarian’s obsession with “the State” has endowed him with boundless sympathy for the hordes of violent black criminals that have been violating every principle that he claims to hold sacred while attributing the assault against civilization on display in Ferguson to “the militarization” of the police.

So, let me see if I've gotten this correctly:

Jack Kerwick makes a wide-ranging claim about the behavior of 'ever growing legions of "libertarians".

Then he goes on to claim that those same "libertarians" are sympathetic to the violent black criminals who are currently committing crimes in Ferguson.

Then he gives an example of a single person, one Paul Craig Roberts, having made a rather anodyne statement about white people's views of the situation being influenced by "racism".

Hmmm... I guess that this Paul Craig Roberts guy must either constitute an ever growing horde all by his lonesome, or else he must be the (elected? appointed?) spokesman for all libertarians, everywhere. Wow, such a powerful guy that I've never heard of before.

Well, no, I don't see that Kerwick has presented any evidence whatsoever of those 'ever growing legions' that have so disgruntled him, nor do I see that Kerwick has proffered any evidence of those hordes of libertarians expressing sympathy for criminals and thugs. Rather, what I see is a foolish rant by someone who is projecting his hatred of his phony strawman onto all libertarians.

I'm well acquainted with that dishonest type of rhetoric, because it's pretty much an exact duplicate of how typical leftist idiots slander their imaginary Tea Party antagonists with phony outrage at their supposed evil acts.

Jack Kerwick, first heal thyself before you go out campaigning against your imaginary boogeymen and demons.

Let’s see... A thug ASSAULTS someone and gets shot for it.

Pretty much the libertarian ideal is you ask me. It should be irrelevant that the shooter was a cop.

The thug initiated the violence. Absent which, he’d still alive.

Paul Craig Roberts is afforded levels of legitimacy by many conservatives who think he is some sort of conservative oracle. He is nothing of the sort. He’s a demented fool who should have been put on his meds a long time ago.

Ever notice how black racists call themselves “racialists,” which then becomes a good thing? As if adding three little letters changes the essential character of their bigotry...

i love how these so called experts can cry “Libertarians” and then fail to name more than one “journalist” in their story...

these are the people that are driving wedges, these are the people crying wolf...

these are the true party republicans that do not want to see anyone, other than their “mainstream” gain power...

now what if, just what if, the libertarian wing of the republican party, and the conservative wing of the republican party, joined forces??????

these are the mainstream republicans trying to maintain status quo....

ignore them

PS... i am still waiting to that name or names...

"Ever growing legions"? I don't see them. Some libertarians are concerned about the power and "militarization" of the police and the trouble that that can create.

However their view fits into the big picture of what's going on in Ferguson now and why and how the whole commotion started, it is a valid point and a useful contribution to the mix of opinion on the subject.

We can agree to disagree with them about what happened and not try to railroad everyone into expressing the same opinion.
