Indeed, it is the ability to act at will and without need for justification within some domain which is the essence of freedom, be it of speech or of property."

Normally, I agree with Vin.
But killing these working men for "the principle" of the ability to act at will and without need for justification" is beyond rationality.
A new sewer line running under his property was a justifiable cause for killing?

All this happened in the real world, where irrational bureaucrats drive irrational property owners into corners that should not exist under our Constitution.

The shooters 'principle' about property was flawed. So was that of the 'authorities'.

Lancy:
One thing I've noticed throughout this (fairly long) thread is how many people mention the tragic murder of the "maintenance men", the "working men" - - it is instructive that not one single poster has noted with any concern that a politician was also killed in the confrontation.

Good point. -- Lets hope some local bureaucrats get the picture, -- that they too are bound by our constitution.

Have you now pulled your support for the 'gun-grabbing' GA bill?
