For what it’s worth, Virginia Democrats intend to reduce the penalty for assaulting first responders to a misdemeanor.

That’s the last resort bill - the pending one is: Setting Bounty Limits on Attacking First Responders.
Virginia is solid blue now. It is gone.
Virginia Republicans have been INCREDIBLY inept, and that’s being charitable.
From the article-
“At this point, it is not known who attacked first responders and what their motive was. Friends and family of the crash victim, who has yet to be identified by police but was referred to by family as “C.J.,” didn’t provide any additional information about the incident other than to say that some family members on the scene were “extremely upset” in the immediate aftermath of the crash.”
Good GRIEF!
So you are so upset that you beat the hell out of the person who is trying to save the life of your loved one?
Freaking idiots!
Sort of similar story-
At least 20 years ago, there was a popular swimming hole in Georgia. One holiday there was a big family there (Democrats, I assume), and they were drinking and partying and NOT supervising their kids AT ALL! I don’t believe any of the kids or adults even knew how to swim.
Well, one of the kids drowned. A friend who was an EMT just happened to be there with her kids. She and some others tried save the child with CPR and were treated very similarly as the first responders in this story, especially after they were unsuccessful at reviving the child. They were treated as if it was THEIR fault the drowning happened and there were threats made. Police had to intervene.
Just crazy!
Mass immigration and domestic migration from the Northeast changed the demographics of VA forever. I watched it happen firsthand living in McLean, VA from 1979 to 2015. I was quite active in Rep politics in Fairfax County and served as both poll watcher and election officer. NoVA is just like SF politically.
I hear you, Kabar. I’ve been watching it here in VB like a train wreck in slow motion.
Poorly written. At first I thought the trouble makers were strangers with the following information, “an unruly crowd gathered and rapidly grew in size and out of control, surrounding the scene…,”.
Then, there was the following information, “At this point, it is not known who attacked first responders and what their motive was. Friends and family of the crash victim, who has yet to be identified by police but was referred to by family as “C.J.,” didn’t provide any additional information about the incident other than to say that some family members on the scene were “extremely upset” in the immediate aftermath of the crash.”
What likely was intended to be reported is that the family was upset by what the strangers were doing. And, that the police have not been able to collect the names of the strangers who were causing the trouble.
Poor kid.
After a while, I bet the family didn’t really care too much for the deceased.
I heard about this on our local talk radio program. Local newspaper has more info but its behind a pay wall.
The poorly written headline sounds like the First Responders did the “pushing and kicking.”
Inept. Yeah, charitable indeed. I am unable to adequately convey my disgust with Virginia republicans on this forum. They are nondescript. They stand for nothing. They lay flat and get steamrolled by every lunatic liberal idea. They have no fight or gumption. They have no animating principles. Conservatism in the Old Dominion is dying, if not already dead
I think back to Republican opposition research that missed checking Northam’s yearbook. It’s like Inspector Clouseau only worse.
