Mike Godwin, "reporter" Options

[EricBarbour]

Did you know that Mike Godwin occasionally writes for Reason, that famous libertarian rag?

Did you know that Mike visited the Occupy Oakland protest?

The comments in response to Godwin's article are amusing, too. Reason apparently attracts a higher class of reader:

Rather you really need to develop some sort of social life. Anything.

No, you're just retarded. Full retard.

I see you've been having fun with yourself again.

Honey, why don't you go back to masturbating and entertain both your little brains?

Epi darling, tarran is confused. When I said I wanted to bang you on the head, I meant your drug addled brain, not your micropenis.

I see the confusion, same size, same IQ, and same leakage issue

Then again, there is this very insightful comment that must make Godwin, Reason, and libertarians squirm a bit:

"Cops must be unleashed, and allowed to administer instant punishment...unleash the cops to clear the streets of bums and vagrants. Where will they go? Who cares?" ~Murray Rothbard

How is the OPD's aggression to defend property values in the city not in accordance with the wishes of the founder of Libertarianism, and dean of the Austrian school of Economics?

That's the problem with designating someone or something as "libertarian". It gets used for such diametrically opposed things...

There's a good possibility that some police used excessive force on October 25th. On the other hand, the whole "Occupy Wall Street" movement was begun as a call to use force ("go out and seize a square of singular symbolic significance and put our asses on the line to make it happen", http://www.adbusters.org/blogs/adbusters-b...allstreet.html)
