Libertarian Pundit Adam Kokesh Defends Las Vegas Shooters
A former prisoner on gun charges and current libertarian radio host Adam Kokesh says the couple who killed two cops and a civilian in Las Vegas were “not necessarily unjustified.”
Railing against the Southern Poverty Law Center and USA Today for acknowledging how the Millers were influenced by Kokesh, the host swore vengeance, saying that the SPLC and USA Today are “not going to get away with it this time.”
He also argued that because America’s political institutions — including the police — have become “homicidal … against freedom,” it was wrong to see the Millers’ unprovoked killing spree as acts of murder rather than self-defense.
“Let’s say someone is going around stabbing people, like, just stabbing people,” Kokesh said. “It’s not murder to kill someone in that situation. And [as] has been pointed out about the Vegas shooting, when you have police officers that are going around and doing violent things all day long, and then they take a break for lunch, well, it doesn’t mean all of the sudden they’re innocent or they’re being peaceful because they’re taking a break from all of their other anti-freedom, rights-violating violence,” he continued…
Ultimately calling the attack an example of “not necessarily unjustified violence,” Kokesh insinuated that the Millers’ killing spree was the government’s fault.

Is there a “double secret” cesspool somewhere that keeps birthing these despicable RWNJs?

In this age of the internet, where almost anybody can have a raido show, ladies and gentlemen excactly where are the boundaries of free speech.
If I for example coughed up a few hundred bucks for a broadcast-enabled web site or put out a daily podcast where I specifically mentioned the names or screen names of participants in this forum I disagree with and said, that killing them would not really be unjustified, is that protected by the first amendment?
I don’t claim to have the answer to that question. All I know is that when exposure of Janet Jackson’s breast is a prohibited act in violation of the law, but Adam Kokesh’s rant is entirely legal, our priorities are seriously skewed.

The crazier the rantings the more likely a bunch of right wing nut jobs will tune in and eventually insure you get a national spot.

After I pick my jaw up off the floor, I’ll think of a smart ass remark to post.

so, would dragging this guy behind an old power wagon through thistles and cactus be the same – treat shit like shit?
