It's not good news, but it is Libertarian news

Will McVay arrested on weapon and drug charges.

I'm not going to comment further till I know more, but I think everybody should remember that--as with Tyler Nixon's case--things are not always what they seem to be at first blush.

That said, anybody who wants to take their free shot in the comments section, have at it.

I don't remember seeing the outcome to the Tyler Nixon thing. Do you have a link somewhere?

Marijuana, ecstasy, guns, large amounts of cash found. All while under probation. Right, let's not draw any conclusions yet. Are you serious?

Is there a limit on how much cash you can have if you are on probation? Of course not drugs, but money? Not sure on the guns if legally owned if you are now on probation.

Sounds like his mistake was in assuming that agents of the state are normal criminals like muggers or rapists, who will take their pound of flesh and then go away and leave their victims alone.

In accepting a plea bargain that included probation, he gave the evil-doers carte blanche to pretty much barge in on him anywhere and any time they like, and apparently their agenda had a "fuck with this guy" line penciled in.

Not that I blame him for accepting the plea bargain, of course. Blaming the victim is never warranted.

He had to know that while on probation he would be subject to at least one home visit! This is just plain stupidity on his part for not removing the guns and pot!

That being said, when my fiance was on probation years ago for a DUI and they came to our house to search it (twice) they didn't really "search" anything. They just walked in, looked around, went upstairs to see where he slept (yes, they needed to see where he slept! LOL) asked me if I had any weapons (when I said no they then asked if I had any ammunition in the house - really?) and then they left. It seems like they wanted to find something in Mr. McVey's home - why would they make him open his safe? That's just strange.

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?

New Warfare: I started my posts with a discussion.....

.....on Unrestricted warfare . The US Air force Institute for National Security Studies have developed a reasonable systems approach to deter non-state violent actors who they label as NSVA's. It is an exceptionally important report if we want to deter violent extremism and other potential violent actors that could threaten this nation and its security. It is THE report our political officials should be listening to to shape policy so that we do not become excessive in using force against those who do not agree with policy and dispute it with reason and normal non-violent civil disobedience. This report, should be carefully read by everyone really concerned with protecting civil liberties while deterring violent terrorism and I recommend if you are a professional you send your recommendations via e-mail at the link above so that either 1.) additional safeguards to civil liberties are included, or 2.) additional viable strategies can be used. Finally, one can only hope that politici...

More of This, Please

Or perhaps I should say, "Less of this one, please." Or how about just, "None of them. Ever again. Please....For the Love of God." Sunshine State Poll: Grayson In Trouble The latest Sunshine State/VSS poll shows controversial Democratic incumbent Alan Grayson trailing former state Senator Dan Webster by seven points, 43 percent to 36 percent. A majority of respondents -- 51 percent -- disapprove of the job that Grayson is doing. Independents have an unfavorable view of him as well, by a 36/47 margin. Grayson has ignored the conventional wisdom that a freshman should be a quiet member who carefully tends to the home fires. The latest controversy involves his " Taliban Dan " advertisement, where he explicitly compares his opponent to the Taliban, and shows a clip of Webster paraphrasing Ephesians 5:22 -- "wives, submit to your husbands." An unedited version of the clip shows that Webster was actually suggesting that husba...
