#1 Dear Melissa Harris Perry,

Violence by Michael Brown against Officer Darren Wilson and resulting in violence by Officer Darren Wilson against Michael Brown in Ferguson must not have been real either.

Thank you so much for clearing all that up for the world with such all encompassing reasoning!

Please answer me this one question; where are the people and property that violence really did not happen to, go, and what caused kind of actions caused their disappearance oh wise one?

#5 Life, liberty, property - John Locke
Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness - Thomas Jefferson

The proper alternative to the natural state is not political dictatorship/tyranny but democratically elected government and the effective protection of basic human rights to life, liberty, and property under the rule of law.

Remember, though, for progressives there is no real law (a set of restrictions both of individuals and the state to which all are subject), only power.

Property takes time to accumulate. It take parts of our lives. It's a manifestation of our labor, our sweat, and dreams. Time you can not recapture once passed. This is no 'natural disaster'. This is a wonton act and taking and is indeed violence against someone.

#6 Destroy all her possessions along with her tools to do her "job" and any way to make a living.

Still think it isn't "violence"? Now starve.

#7 If you break into my house here in Austin, Texas I will shoot you dead.... the problem is which weapon to use. 45. or 357 magnum. Or my 308? such a quandary.

#8 308? No. Over-penetration. Go with .40 S&W, or better yet a .410 pump or semi-auto shotgun with the shortest barrel you can legally put on it (Like a .410 Saiga with a bullpup kit), with birdshot, 00 and deer slug (repeated) in that order. First one shocks them, second one hurts them, third one makes a big hole in case the first 2 weren't enough. Kit makes it easier to use in close quarters.

This allows for a lower grade of marksmanship - after all, not every one is combat experienced, or a mounted police officer from Austin.
