Ballot Access News

On October 30, Jim Duensing, who was chairman of the Nevada Libertarian Party until March, 2009, was shot by a Las Vegas policeman after the police had stopped Duensing for making an illegal turn and some illegal lane changes. According to this newspaper story, he was in a rental car, and he bolted and ran away from the police. He is still alive but is in critical condition. Duensing was also a Libertarian nominee for U.S. House last year.


Fortunately, one of the commenters claims he/she has been with Duensing at the hospital and he is expected to make a full recovery

I'm not siding with this guy as I don't know him, but I have a feeling there is much more to this story. Regardless, the police need to get a life, i.e. do something constructive rather than stopping people for nonsense like "illegal lane changes". Thankfully, he's expected to recover, though.

Illegal lane changes are a great source of REVENUE! And as many realize, the Depression in Nevada, especially Las Vegas, needs every nickel they can take from the people.

The Casinos are only second to government money stealing profits. We joke about how the corrupt NV government, backed by the corrupt NV judicial/LE systems, are TRULY the #1 Gaming Industry.
