A Democratic state senator, elected school board member, multiple representatives of the NAACP, and a passel of taxpayer-supported public defenders have been charged with felonies for tearing down a Confederate statue and nearly killing a man.

You’ll remember the June 10th incident, which was widely mocked for being a play-stupid-games, win-stupid-prizes moment, when those pulling down the statue didn’t bother to see who was standing in its path. Any levity over it, however, instantly vanished when the man suffered severe brain damage from the incident.

That horrific sight triggered an investigation, resulting in the felony charges Portsmouth, Virginia Police Chief Angela Greene announced Monday. Chief Greene read off a list of names of those charged with conspiring and organizing the effort to destroy a monument.

I dunno. I still find it hysterical.

Some piece of garbage trying to destroy my country is a cabbage now?

Good.

That horrific sight...

"Horrific"? Hardly. File it under "just desserts" and "schadenfreude" and "Alex, I'll take statues falling on heads for $1,000."

Tragic, but actually “Tragicomic.”

  • Rioters tearing down monuments and injuring themselves

  • Rioters being hit in the nuts, eyes, or heads by pepperballs, bean bags, or rubber bullets

  • Rioters who immolate themselves with their own fire bombs

  • Criminal rioters run over and injured or killed by panicked motorists as they illegally block roadways

I tend to view all these people with the same degree of compassion I would extend to an insurgent hit with a round in the head that was fired from the weapon of US military personnel he was attempting to kill.

**That** much compassion.

If that makes me a bad person in their eyes, I can live with that.

I read that the governor Northam is shocked that the state’s first woman of color Senate President Pro Tem has been arrested and feels that the arrests may be political in nature.

At least we don’t have those “it’s still a human life and may he RIP” folks on the board.

Like when bush died. I called him the piece of garbage that he was and was told to take it on the road, he’s still a child of God and it’s not respectful etc.

I dont think he’s with God and bush didn’t deserve any respect.

He still walk or talk on his own :)

He has two kids..which was made very clear in the article..as if I cared.

If he had two kids, he shouldn’t have been out destroying things.

And i’m sure those no wife. And when they say has two kids, that means he slept with two women and then never talked to them or the kids again, most likely.

I recently read that the folks that finish in the bottom of the class at Law School, like Slo Joe Biden, wind up working as Public Defenders. No Firm, in their right mind, will even give the weak students an interview.
Looks like those idiots made poor choices.
