I would not sleep well at night if I was in this type of business, but it looks like a legal form of making a profit to me!

It won't be for long. Don't you understand that? This is the kind of stupid-libertarian-trick behavior that generates new laws restricting the use of private property. And always these laws impose far more onerous burdens on a far greater number of people than were affected to begin with.

Libertarians are more dense than granite.

New laws are not needed. Existing laws can deal with this.

Libertarians are more dense than granite.

Libertarianism has absolutely nothing to do with this. You remind me of Tabitha Soren, who turns every thread into a thread about abortion.

Yes. That is also one big reason why the court system princible of "stare decisis" is a tryranny when overapplied, as it can be. It handcuffs ad-hoc almost extra-legal but "just" judgements in cases like this, where the legal record is not likely to show the acrimony, meaness and bitterness that causes a Judge to act more like a policeman on the scene of a confrontation, than a Judge deciding legal princibles that may be generally applied.

Roscoe, I'll let you speak for yourself if you care to weigh in on this, but I believe Kevin has just lumped you in with the godless libertarians.

There will always be people like this guy. Hence, your vision of a libertarian utopia is an impossible one, if what you say is true, that guys like this and actions like his necessarily lead to more statism.
