Sometimes justice works: Delaware Libertarian Gordon Smith reaches the end of a long road in triumph

Gordon Smith, a Libertarian friend from central Delaware, is a proud man, and it has been exceptionally difficult for him to bear up under a mass of false charges from his ex-wife and others in a world where we are conditioned by our authorities and our media to believe almost with a knee jerk that people accused must be guilty of something.

Not this time.

I'll let Gordon tell it himself:
I just opened and read an official letter/order from a Delaware Judge: 
The state of Delaware has officially expunged my arrest record with all of the 21 charges. I will spare you the details of my three year Pro Se litigant trench warfare . But here is the conclusionary excerpt from the judge: 
"The Court finds that Mr. Smith has overcome his burden of proving by a preponderance of evidence that the continued existence of the Charges constitutes a MANIFEST INJUSTICE.  The State's lack of opposition, Mr. Smith's vindication and the Courts error in entering the 2010 charges in triplicate was sufficient. In the interest of justice and in order to uphold the integrity of the judiciary IT IS ORDERED that the petiton for expungement filed by Gordon G. Smith, is hereby granted." 
Had I been required to pay - this would have cost me over $1,500.00. 
I paid absolutely nothing. 
I am in complete awe right now
I can only imagine the weight that has lifted from Gordon's shoulders.  Last year, under the burden of these charges, almost nobody would consider hiring him.  His lifelong passion for working for the rights of those falsely accused seemed to have dead-ended in his own case, and his political aspirations had become a joke.

Now, to the extent that the criminal justice system can make an innocent man whole, it has done so.

Gordon, you have my admiration for never, ever EVER quitting on what you knew was right, and I eagerly wait to see what you can accomplish now that the fetters (literally) have been removed.

Fantastic work, Gordon! It is not always pleasant to have to stick up for ourselves to such a great magnitude. But you deserve all the credit in the world here. And, because of your struggles, the work you do to help others in similar situations is just amazing. I am so happy for you!!

Comment Rescue (?) and child-related gun violence in Delaware

In my post about the idiotic over-reaction to a New Jersey 10-year-old posing with his new squirrel rifle , Dana Garrett left me this response: One waits, apparently in vain, for you to post the annual rates of children who either shoot themselves or someone else with a gun. But then you Libertarians are notoriously ambivalent to and silent about data and facts and would rather talk abstract principles and fear monger (like the government will confiscate your guns). It doesn't require any degree of subtlety to see why you are data and fact adverse. The facts indicate we have a crisis with gun violence and accidents in the USA, and Libertarians offer nothing credible to address it. Lives, even the lives of children, get sacrificed to the fetishism of liberty. That's intellectual cowardice. OK, Dana, let's talk facts. According to the Children's Defense Fund , which is itself only querying the CDCP data base, fewer than 10 children/teens were killed per year in Delaw

With apologies to Hube: dopey WNJ comments of the week

(Well, Hube, at least I'm pulling out Facebook comments and not poaching on your preserve in the Letters.) You will all remember the case this week of the photo of the young man posing with the .22LR squirrel rifle that his Dad got him for his birthday with resulted in Family Services and the local police attempting to search his house.  The story itself is a travesty since neither the father nor the boy had done anything remotely illegal (and check out the picture for how careful the son is being not to have his finger inside the trigger guard when the photo was taken). But the incident is chiefly important for revealing in the Comments Section--within Delaware--the fact that many backers of "common sense gun laws" really do have the elimination of 2nd Amendment rights and eventual outright confiscation of all privately held firearms as their objective: Let's run that by again: Elliot Jacobson says, This instance is not a case of a father bonding with h

The Obligatory Libertarian Tax Day Post

The most disturbing factoid that I learned on Tax Day was that the average American must now spend a full twenty-four hours filling out tax forms. That's three work days. Or, think of it this way: if you had to put in two hours per night after dinner to finish your taxes, that's two weeks (with Sundays off). I saw a talking head economics professor on some Philly TV channel pontificating about how Americans procrastinate. He was laughing. The IRS guy they interviewed actually said, "Tick, tick, tick." You have to wonder if Governor Ruth Ann Minner and her cohorts put in twenty-four hours pondering whether or not to give Kraft Foods $708,000 of our State taxes while demanding that school districts return $8-10 million each?
