Statism is a tragedy


Many of the events that attract media attention are simply gang warfare, gang vs. gang, and since I belong to neither gang, I don't really care. None of them are "our" teammates.

I don't want innocent people hurt or killed or otherwise violated, but innocent people don't violate life, liberty, or property (fundamental human rights). Many times, I don't see an innocent person where others seem to. 

Often it's a matter of consequences: Do certain things, and you increase the likelihood of certain bad outcomes. Crying about it afterward doesn't change anything. If you don't like getting zapped, don't stick your tongue in a light socket.

I wish the gangs would keep it between themselves and leave the rest of us alone. But they can't seem to do that. They will lie and claim to be on my side, but I know it's a lie. This is why I can't get too involved in the drama surrounding some of these events that I'm told are VERY IMPORTANT for me to get worked up over.

Statism is a tragedy. It would be weird if it didn't lead to more tragedy every time it is applied.
