The hackneyed argument for government regulation of speech—yelling "fire!" in a crowded theater—has always been a red herring. As Murray Rothbard wrote, private property rights should be front-and-center when dealing with free speech issues.

After the tragic 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, the FBI rolled out the usual “lone nut” narrative about who did it. However, much evidence exists to show that FBI informants and agents embedded with white supremacy groups may well have been involved.
