George Will is another conservative that has used the Eric Garner death to decry the overabundant taxes on great products such as cigarettes. This old man says that a police nanny state was responsible for the death of Eric Garner and I wonder if he should think all crimes should go unpunished. Maybe if the possibility of shoplifters lives can be ended with an arrest attempt then maybe it is over-policing that consists of punishing this crime. Eric Garner was taking sales of this awful product with his cheaper prices and cigarettes are a large source of tax revenue for municipalities. The number of offenses that Eric Garner had amassed for this same violation was staggering and I wonder if the same individual had repeatedly taken stuff from George Will's four car garage in the same span if he would have the same feelings of overcriminialzation. If anything government should of banned this poisonous product years ago that puts incredible costs to our health care system and no other product with all the deadly chemicals and addicted behavioral producing products would ever be allowed on the market now days. Perhaps this is what is unsettling to conservative nuts like George Will as they desperately seek new ways of attacking rightful regulations of destructive products they want on the market.
George says cigarettes are over expensive in this progressive state of new York but I wonder if one can make the same excuse about expensive purses and Jeans. Why don't we just allow men like Eric Garner to make smash and grabs and be allowed to sell jeans cheaper on the black market. Taking a death o0f Eric Garner which is a rare incident and then using it to complain about the nanny state is a lame tactic. It should come as no surprise that a lame old man like George Will would use this to some talking point and I wonder where a George Will would draw the line on what constitutes a crime or not. Apparently if it is a crime that somehow can be used against the powers of what the geek perceives as big government he will say it is an excessive crime and caused by over regulation of products.
