Prophetic Libertarian Ken Krawchuk gets it right: Good gun violence
A nasty serial rapist has been running crazy in Pittsburgh. Police have had little to go on to stop him, other than a typical composite drawing.

That was the case in early October, until Daniel Wesley picked the wrong chick. Charmaine Dunbar turned out to be an off duty University of Pittsburgh security guard. When Mr. Wesley came after her on with a rifle in hand, he caught a couple of slugs from a .357 in his evil guts. Unfortunately in this case, Ms. Dunbar did not kill him, but he's done and off the streets- which is the most important part.

Just to give some idea of what she stopped, consider some of the experiences of his six known victims:

According to a police affidavit, he told one victim, "I'll chase you down and put 17 in your head," referring to a full clip of a semiautomatic handgun.

The documents say Wesley, 25, raped a 14-year-old girl and then stole $2 from her back pocket before sending her on her way to school.

He told her if she called police, he would "go on the run, find her and then kill her by shooting her," the affidavit said.

It's too bad Ms. Dunbar couldn't have been close by during some of the early shootings by the DC snipers. She might have saved some lives.

It takes a few minutes for every big tv network in the country to report ad nauseum from the scene when an innocent citizen gets killed by guns. Which is only fair, after all, since this helps highlight the pressing social need to confiscate everybody's guns.

Mr. Wesley was stopped October 10, several weeks ago. It takes a little longer for word to seep out when citizens use guns to protect themselves from assailants. These stories don't get the same emphasis, as they might send bad messages to the citizenry.

Stories like this could, for example, give women the idea that police can't be everywhere all the time and that they have to take steps to protect themselves. As Ken Krawchuk, Libertarian candidate for governor in tomorrow's election, prophetically said in a debate "A handgun is a girl's best friend."
