More insanity from the corrupt and pro-criminal Democrat Party. The Democrats appease criminals because of the voting power that they now represent. If Joe Biden is elected, than this insanity goes national. It’s that simple.
Virginia Dems Pass Bill Allowing Assault Of A Police Officer To Be Treated As A Misdemeanor
By Daily Wire, August 27, 2020
Story continues below advertisementVirginia Democrats in the state’s Senate banded together to pass a controversial bill allowing the assault of a law enforcement officer to be treated as a misdemeanor — that is, as a crime punishable by less than one year in jail.
The bill, which passed the Virginia Senate Thursday by a margin of 21-15, “would allow an assault against a law enforcement officer to a misdemeanor if the person attacked is not hurt,” according to WSLS Virginia.
Before now, any assault of a police officer in the state of Virginia carried with it a minimum six month jail sentence.
“This same penalty applies to anyone who assaults a person they know, or have reason to know, is a judge, magistrate, prison guard, firefighter or some other criminal justice administrator or first responder,” the Fort Hunt Herald added.
A summary of the bill notes that the measure:
Eliminates the mandatory minimum term of confinement for an assault and battery committed against a judge; magistrate; law-enforcement officer; correctional officer; person directly involved in the care, treatment, or supervision of inmates; firefighter; or volunteer firefighter or any emergency medical services personnel and provides that such crime can no longer be committed as a simple assault and must result in a bodily injury.
In their proposal, Virginia Democrats explained that the bill would “defelonize assault[s] on law enforcement officer (return to misdemeanor offense)” and would eliminate the mandatory minimum sentence imposed in a change to the law made in 1997.
“Democrats said the legislation does not minimize the crime of assaulting a police officer, but instead makes a distinction between serious assaults and minor assaults,” according to The Associated Press. “The bill keeps the charge as a felony, but gives a judge or jury discretion to reduce it to a misdemeanor if there is no bodily injury or if someone’s culpability is slight because of diminished capacity or a developmental disorder.”

I’m telling you Ziggy…..as you just said to me within a week that you never thought you’d live to see the crap that’s going on in the world and here at home….
I got one message from felix from disqus after his comments disappeared, then nothing. Even before I noticed Mohandjob went missing I thought Pamela’s sight was either under attack or being censored. This is all beyond ridiculous, Ziggy…..
And again…right back atcha. You and yours also be and stay healthy, safe and vigilant. This does appear to be war, and it’s only going downhill from here, even WHEN Trump wins re-election. The psycho’s will really be after blood then…..

If I were a police officer in Virginia and I received a call to protect a politician’s home of self, my radio would develop severe static interference.

The bill is unnessessary and stupid. The idea of the original is to protect police. This new bill while a minor adjustment further exposes cops to abuse and is otherwise nuts.

So taking a swing at the “governor” would also be a misdemeanour? Get off with a warning?
What actually constitutes an assault without injury? Black eye? Smacked in the back of the head with a bottle of urine? Getting thrown down by a mob and kicked in the back?
Just be careful how you arrest a violent rioter or looter. They may claim abuse and file criminal charges.

Holy crap, this wank needs deep-rooted therapy. As mentioned, every Liberal is in deep want of therapy or a lobotomy. I think I ran into this one during the 60s in LA… nope can’t be, but a mirror-image. Great post, RebelFred.

Same here Zig, I have a lefty sister with a big mouth lefty husband, they both made bad life decisions, she has a big time drinking issue, both are living off the taxpayers, I never tell them how much money we have I just let them think I’m poor, I know what would happen if she knew.
We avoid them as much as possible, next time I see her I’m going to wear my new Trump hat, that should really piss off her and her bum husband!

I know what you are saying, RebelFred; I was threatened regarding wearing a Trump hat. That’s why I place boundaries, barbed wire, minefields, and a moat full of gators. They look at me if I am a more than a few bricks of a truckload; however, my political savviness tops theirs,
They listen to the likes of CNN, and other commie news which confirms their ignorance and gullibility. Hang in, as they say, one can’t pick one’s family. Take care, stay safe, and vigilant.

Honestly, I would not be a police officer for mega-millions. Putting one’s life on the line for politicians, supercilious ingrates, racists professing tolerance, is not worth it. The Democratic Party, besides being undemocratic, is a Party of betrayal, corruption, and more so, backing the ongoing rioting, burning of businesses, property, and most vile seeking to kill and mayhem cops. It is the nihilistic vision of America brought to us by this Enemy of the State.
Whenever I see a police officer, I thank them for their service and courage. I do so with First-Responders, as well.

Every one of these “unarmed” Negroes was resisting arrest.
When you’re committing the crime of resisting arrest — ALL BETS ARE OFF!
Every one of these dead Negroes shot by cops who were responding to a citizen complaint and enforcing the law is guilty of Suicide by Cop.
And every one of them should be prosecuted posthumously for all the trouble, including loss of job, loss of income, public — “press” — scorn, stigmatization and persecution, etc, that their criminal stupidity, selfishness and failure as men and as Americans has caused the police officers.

“Will someone please tell me what happened to the great state of Virginia”
Some, not all but some, psychopaths go into politics, many as elected Democrats.
Review this list of traits and keep Obama and Hillary in mind.
The DSM IV lists these traits for psychopaths. N.B. it is not necessary to possess all of these traits to be a psychopath; a preponderance of them will do. Psychopaths are:
Selfish, callous, and remorseless in their use of others; they show:
Glibness/superficial charm (smooth-talking, engaging, and slick) Grandiose sense of self-worth (greatly inflated idea of one’s abilities and self-esteem, arrogance and a sense of superiority)
Pathological lying Conning/manipulative (uses deceit to cheat others for personal gain)
Lack of remorse or guilt (no feelings or concern for losses, pain, and suffering of others)
Emotional poverty (limited range or depth of feelings) Callous/lack of empathy (a lack of feelings toward others; cold, contemptuous, and inconsiderate)
They fail to accept responsibility for own actions and live a chronically unstable, antisocial, and socially deviant lifestyle.
Moreover, psychopaths show these traits as well:
Need for stimulation/proneness to boredom (an excessive need for new, exciting stimulation and risk-taking)
Parasitic lifestyle (exploitative financial dependence on others) Poor behavioral control (frequent verbal abuse and inappropriate expressions of anger)
Promiscuity (numerous brief, superficial sexual affairs)
Lack of realistic, long-term goals
Impulsivity
Irresponsibility (repeated failure to fulfill or honor commitments and obligations)
Juvenile delinquency (criminal behavioral problems between the ages of 13-18)
Early behavior problems (before age 13)
Revocation of conditional release (violating parole or other conditional release)
Many short-term marital relationships (lack of commitment to a long-term relationship)
Criminal versatility (diversity of criminal offenses, whether or not the individual has been arrested or convicted)”

I did read somewhere, years ago, that more politicians than other groups display psychopathic behaviours.
Back then, they kept it on the down low, now, it’s proudly displayed for all to see.
