Maybe not? I refuse to ignore the blood on Capone’s hands before Prohibition. People are responsible for their actions before and after temperance. Extreme libertarians are free to build an anarchy island and move to it though. See how that works.
What blood on his hands before prohibition?
Except perhaps for scheming with “Uncle Johnny” to whack their then-boss “Big Jim” Colosimo. In any event, the actual shooter was New York mobster Frankie Yale....no doubt imported for the occasion.
Maybe you should read up on the,(eminently fascinating), history of American organized crime before you make uninformed statements. Incidentally, I am not a libertarian nor do I apologize for criminals or their behavior. But I’ve always found the mob interesting.
Prohibition, the Eighteenth Amendment, the Volstead Act, or whatever you wish to call it was an unmitigated disaster and just more proof that one cannot legislate their own particular brand of morality. Not only is doing so very much in the spirit of tyrannical governments and authoritarian statists, but it also flies in the face of Jefferson’s observation that the “government that governs best governs the least.”
