    Balko is the first of two writers who shaped my journey from conservative to anarchist. His writing in this series is clear, concise and damning.

    That said I’m also something if a Hughes fan. I typically find him thoughtful and insightful, but his buy-in to the Fall of Minneapolis documentary was disappointing.

      I, too, am a fan of a black guy who went to private school and then Columbia telling everyone that race should always be ignored.

      I am a great admirer of the people who pull up the rope after they’ve climbed the wall and let all the others get eaten by the tigers.
