What Matters? Black Lives or Our Nanny State Laws?

This is the best example of the irrationality at the heart of modern leftism - they purport to care (and care extremely, it seems at times to the exclusion of all else) about minorities.

Eric Garner - dead because he was selling black market cigarettes, which were "black market" to avoid the onerous taxes imposed on them by nanny-state politicians that want you to smoke less.

Freddie Gray - dead because nanny-state politicians want to prohibit the carrying of knives in belief that they are eliminating heinous crimes.

Don't enact laws that you aren't prepared to enforce with the, sometimes deadly, full weight of law enforcement.
