Why aren’t libertarians talking about Ferguson?

I guess Libertarians only get mad if the federal govt does something bad. If it's the state boys or local govt (Ferguson) then they're :manny:

Especially if they perceive it as a "black" issue :mjpls:

I get your point but right and left should be outraged. I haven't heard much about this from either side. This kids death and fallout from it shouldnt be about the left scoring points at the expense of the right.

dems dont want to lose their support from public unions tho :obama:

MSNBC was down there in the shyt though. I got my livestream of the teargas and shyt from them just a minute ago

:sas2:

:ohhh: I see what you're saying, but these sort of issues touchy, and you cant just run off at the mouth like you can on state provision. A young man lost his life.
That said, I expect Rand and others to come forward soon.

Hopefully. This is one of the things I like about Libertarians on paper, civil liberties. I say with all honesty that I'm disappointed that a big Libertarian voice (besides Reason) hasn't taken this as an opportunity to speak on racial inequality in the justice system and militarization of the police. If you genuinely care about these things, this incident is a goldmine for people who fear both.

:shaq2:

Personally I think libertarians should use this to go hard body at police unions(ostensibly) :ehh:
It would help African American relations, while diminishing the perception of unions to the public.
If executed properly, some on the left would have no choice but to defend the police unions, and that may change the game.

I don't give a fukk about the unions shyt (:mjlol:) but yes, Libertarians should jump on this party platform. There's appeal there.

Might as well hasten the death of the :flabbynsick: GOP by appealing to non-racists once in a while :troll:

@Broletariat do you have a live stream to whats going on there now?


When brown people are involved libertarians are conspicuously silent.

I wonder why?
There were some up earlier, they;re now replays. I'm sure recordings of them all will be up very soon. Check aljazeera, msnbc, or honestly infowars if you're feeling saucy (:scusthov::ehh:)

Gang violence...
the only libertarians that care, and at this point, this is only theoretical, and that is the ideological part (ie reason), a small portion of the fringe conspiratorial types, and maybe some urban 2nd amendment advocates. everybody else essentially understands that they either are cacs or work for cacs. you cant cling hard to "states rights" and the right to discriminate in public without having lots of actual racists and unfortunate uncle ruckus types behind this ideology. not saying those values themselves are a sign that you are racist, but that those values do attract racists for obvious reasons. without it being said, everybody knew why this would not get much sympathy from libertarians in any notable way.

also, many on the libertarian spectrum are not pure in their principles. many actually like it when government and unions are used against people of color. even though cliven feels the feds have no authority over him, he did say that they should be on the border keeping mexicans out. lots of people want to have their cake and eat it too.
