I notice that you have not remarked on the issue that has actually torn the libertarian community in half: non-governmental threats to liberty, as (for example) by serial killers or Muslim terrorists or the Mafia or hostile foreign states. The Rothbardians have actually taken the side of these people against “our enemy, the state.” Other libertarians not. Does either Huemer or Moller address this? If not, whom (and what) do you recommend on the subject?
Another point on the "emergency theft" thought experiment, if the thief happens to be caught in the act and hurt or killed by the rightful owner, they would have to accept that as a potential consequence.
If I didn't have crippling social anxiety (a personal failing I know), yes that speech gets close to a lot of my sense of morality and justice so I would probably give it or something like it.

Missed this previously. Thanks for republishing. Just bought on Kindle. I’m on a long-haul trip. Wish it was available in audio book form.
