The Ma'Khia Bryant case is an encapsulation of the media and political class's pathologies. Had she simply stabbed the other girl to death, it would never have been made a national news story. Activists wouldn't have complained. Grieving family members would've been ignored.

A whole lot of people who don't identify as Murray Rothbard libertarians have adopted the mindset that the only problem is the state/government, whereas the government's very first responsibility is to protect vulnerable citizens from violence, no matter where it comes from.
