Virginia state Sen. Lucas faces felony charges for damaging Confederate monument

[snip] Senate President Pro Tempore Louise Lucas, D-Portsmouth, was charged with conspiracy to commit a felony and injury to a monument in excess of $1,000. She was one of seven people charged, which included NAACP leaders.

Monday's charges came one day before the Virginia Senate and House of Delegates convened in a special session to address COVID-19-related budget issues, criminal justice reform and other legislative priorities. Democrats have a 21-19 majority in the Senate, but if Lucas is absent, Democrats only can have one dissenter if they want to pass some of the more controversial pieces of legislation. The tie breaker goes to Lt. Gov. Justice Fairfax, a Democrat.

During the special session lawmakers will consider efforts to defelonize assault on a police officer, partially defund police departments believed to be engaged in biased policing and enhance prosecutorial discretion.

Some of the reforms have bipartisan support, but others are expected to receive pushback.

Senator Lucas clearly broke the law and her oath of office...if she and other elected can do so without consequences, we have no law and order. No one, not even an elected black woman is above the LAW. Is the Law just for taxpayers and voters, all citizens other than elected?

Being charged is one thing, being indicted, tried, convicted and imprisoned are 4 other things. Bet she walks.

She’s a good Democrat, so she has immunity from prosecution or consequences.

I thnk this is sarcasm, but in today’s world, who knows.

I know a very decent individual who ran for Virginia State Senate and lost.

The fact that the voters there turned their backs on him but would elect somebody like THIS speaks volumes.

Lawyer: "So, the only thought inside her mind that night as tears came into her eyes was the pain of slavery in the Old South."

"Not guilty.

Our apologies to you for your inconvenience in having to go through what must have been a difficult ordeal in this court."

Lucas: "My lawyers will handle the lawsuits. I have nothing more to say here."

This ties in with the other article where blue state refugees don't change who they are. They are rotting red states rapidly.

If it is convicted, Gov Jolson will pardon it.

Only if FR disappears. Unless I screwed up the links, but that’s unlikely, I’ve got that somewhat automated.

Virginia also suffers from the fact that Obama put Federal employment on steroids and Northern Virginia has been totally overrun by GovWorker Invasion of the Bodysnatchers.
