Libertarian Host Defends Vegas Shooters As 'Victims' Who Were Killing Cops To Saves Lives

A libertarian gun activist -- who was convicted on weapons charges after he carried a loaded shotgun in downtown Washington, D.C. -- this week defended two people who recently went on a shooting rampage in Las Vegas, killing two police officers and another person.

"You're not going to get away with it this time USA Today and SPLC," Kokesh insisted, arguing that the shooters had acted because "authority has become a homicidal institution against freedom."

Kokesh asserted that the slaying of the two officers was not "murder" because police are likely to kill people.

Gun owners are fair game because they are likely to kill people.

I doubt that he would appreciate my twist.

How many black men would still be screaming hate into a spittle stained microphone and paid handsomely for it?
