There is a short TV video interview at the beginning of the article at the source. As I was posting this article and listening to the video in the background I heard that Northam wants to eliminate the Lee-Jackson state holiday and make election day a new state holiday.

And he lives on this land and occupies a position of power because....Mullah Khamenei put him there?

This guy would have imprisoned the Patriots of 1776.

The claim of 34% increase in 6 years sounds specious, since various articles including on a CBS site, say that hate crimes are down, including in Virginia. Herring had to go back 6 years arbitrarily to find a low baseline. Plus adding all sorts of gender categories to hate crimes helps increase reporting.

Will Herring’s bill define owning a firearm as a hate crime?

I’m curious as to who the claimed white supremacy groups are, who does the labelling, estimated numbers of adherents, etc. The idea that there is some sort of white supremacy explosion sure seems like a Democrat myth and talking point in search of reality.

A hate crime, as defined by current jurisprudence, is anything a White says or does, or doesn’t say or doesn’t do.

When one looks at Crime Statistics in Virginia it becomes blatantly obvious that somebody’s got to stop those CRACKAS!!!!!!

"These are all measures designed to help stem the prevalence of hate crimes and white supremacist violence that is just so disturbing," Herring said.

What utter nonsense coming out of the mouth of a communist! Antifa and BLM are the cause of 99% of the violence in Virginia.

Herring believes in mob rule. He bullies his way by threat and intimidation to disarm law abiding citizens who happen to be gun owners.

Does he not have a racist past? Why has he not resigned in disgrace?

If a white Trump supporter criminally assaulted a black person,or pervert.or any other "protected" person without just cause I,as a juror,would have no problem sending him to prison for a year...or ten years...or 50 years,depending *entirely* on the extent of the physical injuries.

But I wouldn't "guilty" on *any* charge that had the word "hate" in it.

It is just sickening what is happening to this once great state. I’ve always admired Virginia and Blackface and his clown show are hell bent on destroying it in one fell swoop.

She’s applying for her CCW this week.

Yep, hate crimes are rising in Virginia!! In Richmond, murder was up 13 percent this year over last year. How about enforcing the law against killing, Mr. AG?
