Fun With Libertarians

Hunt violent criminals, candidate says

Libertarian Lyn Curtis Adams said he decided to run for lieutenant governor partly because his wife, Kellie, was robbed at gunpoint in December while working at a state liquor store in Montgomery.


Adams says that he wants the police to spend more time hunting (his word!) violent criminals and less time enforcing laws against pot and prostitution. I agree, I suppose. But Mr. Adams, what kind of Libertarian are you? Relying on the police! Why don't you take your assault rifle and your concealed handgun and hunt the criminals down yourself?

On the other hand, I like the idea of a Lieutenant Governor whose wife works in a liquor store. But it's a state liquor store! Mr. Adams, your wife works for the government! How could you?
