I read Xavier's blog for many reasons. His comments on some of the gun boards I used to frequent were always will thought out. He's a nurse. He carries a gun. He bikes to work. He loves animals. What's not to like?

He really hit the ball out of the park with this one.

For a long time I've come to think of hippies as people who have too much heart and not enough head. Xavier's post is a painful example of that. His overall conclusion pegs it:

It was not the lack of a weapon that doomed Kristen Brydum. It was the lack of appreciation of the hazards that she repeatedly injected her life into. She lived on the edge, and she paid for it with her life. She espoused "anarchist economics," the sharing of wealth in a "gift market." The true sociopathic anarchists of New Orleans discovered her, disregarded her pleas for mercy, and killed her for her bicycle and her wallet. An innocent, easily preventable death occurred not because the world is a bad, mean and unforgiving place, but because the victim ignored the fact that some human predators are.

Well said, Xavier. Well said.
