Governments Sure Know How to Safeguard Their Revenues

Police in Fairfax, Virginia, shot to death a man suspected of the heinous crime of- gambling without permission on a sport event (Thanks Lew Rockwell for the link). As Tom DiLorenzo notes, the state of Virginia encourages gambling as long as they receive recvenues from it. But if anyone dares gamble without giving the state part of the money, they'll be shot dead in their homes by a SWAT-team in the middle of the night.
