[Governor Dinwiddie]

Garner was a big time "dealer", standing on a street corner and selling cigarettes for a dollar each to people who couldn't afford a full pack.

There is something both sad and beautiful about what Garner was doing. He was a free man in America engaging in capitalism at its humblest level. So they killed him.

He was breaking a law. Period.

Neither sad nor beautiful.

The founders understood. Today's sheep do not.
