Gambling is a two-fer - a statist AND a racist industry.

Boys with their toys. I'm sure there was a need for armed swat to descend upon a dentist with no record who is is running a basketball pool with friends. When are we going to demand some accountability for these moronic "accidents".

Last month, police in Fairfax, Va., conducted a SWAT raid on Sal Culosi Jr., an optometrist suspected of running a sports gambling pool with some friends. As the SWAT team surrounded him, one officer's gun discharged, struck Culosi in the chest and killed him. In the fiscal year before the raid that killed Culosi, Virginia spent about $20 million marketing and promoting its state lottery. One more example of the misuse of SWAT teams by local government.
