Facts Not a Stumbling Block for Morrissey

I’m sorry but I’m a bit taken aback by the refusal of so many in this forum to accept the possibility that the law in Virginia indeed needs to be cleaned up to cover this situation. In order not to acknowledge this you have to accept that the investigators are totally inept and for some unstated and unknown reason neither they nor the county prosecutor have elected to charge this woman even though they, according to the majority view on this forum, could easily do so and even though they have stated they want to bring the woman to justice. Also why would the AG attempt to change the law when it doesn’t need changing and he could easily direct his efforts to seeing that justice is done in this case under existing laws. Let’s not forget common sense here. Morrissey is just reporting what those in VA who deal with these laws are saying. He’s not saying it’s his independent analysis of the law. Comments on this site are interpreting and applying bits and pieces of Virginia law without any conception or understanding whatsoever of the full legal code or its application in VA courts. (We’re supposed to accept the “experts” on global warming but not the “experts” on VA law?) Like I said earlier I am shocked that the law (such as hte murder statute) doesn’t cover it but neither I nor anyone else here (to my knowledge) is an expert on this subject. The one reasonable criticism of Morrissey and Hot Air is and has always been that they do not purge hateful posts. That part is inexcusable and deserving of contempt.
