THINKING OF MOVING

Posted on 11/06/2025 12:28:20 PM PST by 7thson

I have some questions that I want to run by my fellow Freepers, but a little context first.

The man who put a $45,000.00 bounty on Pam Bondi - Tyler Maxon Avalos - was released with no bail though "under strict conditions: a GPS ankle monitor, nightly curfew, restricted internet use, and mandatory mental health treatment. He is barred from possessing firearms or alcohol and cannot leave Minnesota while awaiting trial."

The man who threw a sub sandwich at a Federal LEO, today was found not guilty of a misdemeanor.

I live in Virginia and after Tuesday, I see this state on a fast track in becoming NYC, Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore, Philadelphia, etc. I see lawlessness coming big time in Virginia - in Richmond, the Norfolk area, and the Northern Virginia Metro area.

I am now thinking of moving to Tennessee, My questions - am I running away from the problem? By moving, am I giving up? By moving, am I just making it easier for the lawless Dems to import more criminals in Virginia?

Virginia has been weird for a long time.

The conviction being overturned for the sandwich thrower seems correct to me. A sandwich is not a weapon and we should not allow the government to classify it as one.

You’ll find the “Coward! Fight!” brigade here soon.

But, come join us in Idaho!

Yes. Which is not to say you shouldn’t run, that depends on your personal circumstances. But we have to make a stand sometime. Where will you run to when they come after Tennessee?

As Americans we actually have the duty and responsibility to run our country. When the government is out of control and corrupt it is because we have allowed it to become so

Where we live, in terms of doing something about it, matters only in what are we doing about it

You can live in the backwoods of Tennessee Virginia. What you doing to fix it

Apparently these states are overrun with idiots. Let them run those states down. They will reap what they sow.
You are moving for self protection and sanity. Not enough of us to change their collective self destruction.

"I see lawlessness coming big time in "

This guy has very short political vision. You need to start looking west of the Mississippi. In Kansas we can help the cops shoot the bad guy, if you pay a fee.

I made the judgement that Virginia was lost 6 years ago when Ralph Northam was elected Governor and the Dims took control of both the Senate and House of Delegates. I fled the state I loved and moved to Tennessee. History has proven the wisdom and accuracy of my decisions.

I couldn’t be happier. Virginia is doomed.

Assault is assault. The item used is of no consequence.

I just saw where a friend is moving to Johnson City TN.

We are in SW Va so we are far removed from “the troubles”. Very little of what happens in Richmond affects us very much.

You must not value your gun rights. Stand by for an all-out assault on the Second Amendment.

It is not an assault if there was not a means of inflicting harm. Buddy, the government is not your friend. You do not want them to be able to elevate a misdemeanor to a felony in that manner. They should have charged him with resisting arrest, that had a chance of sticking.

Remember, the newly elected AG wants to shoot you if you’re a Republican....

My daughter just moved out of Richmond.

I am sleeping better these days knowing she is out of that hell-hole.

Those are a virtue signal because most of them have been struck down as unconstitutional.

Texas voters just raised the homestead exemption to $200K for those 65 and older.
