School Pride: VCU Police Chief arrested for electronic solicitation of a minor.

By From http://www.imsurroundedbyidiots.com • Jan 29th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

And the best comment award at the Richmond Times-Dispatch’s site goes to this guy:
Maybe they can ask Rodney Monroe to comeback and serve as Chief. That way he could finish his degree requirements and actually earn his degree from VCU.

That works out to almost $25,000 per citizen.
Do they not realize that they just requested $694,701,315 in funding? Not $6,947,013.15 in funding, not $69,470,131.50 in funding, but $694,701,315. Do those idiots realize how much freakin’ money that is? It’s almost 10 times the amount of their yearly operating budget!
And the sheer volume of these requests […]

Seriously, why is this paper considered a serious news source anymore?:
Lawmakers and prison advocates say the Virginia Parole Board has virtually stopped granting parole to thousands of inmates convicted of crimes before the state halted the practice more than a decade ago.
Of the 4,500 Virginia prisoners eligible for parole in 2008, about 95 percent were […]



Real efficient and effective use of state resources, guys….

By From http://www.imsurroundedbyidiots.com • Jan 14th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

From The Free Lance–Star:
Culpeper town police thought they knew who was responsible for an outbreak of automobile vandalism last summer, but they just didn’t have quite enough evidence to take the case to court.
Now, thanks to DNA evidence, they have charged a 17-year-old boy with destruction of property in the incidents.
Now, the last I checked, […]



Well, actually, someone did speak up…

You just chose to ignore them.

These are Representative Rob Wittman’s comments — as quoted by the Richmond Times-Dispatch — regarding Israel’s response to Hamas’s rocket attacks:

Mildred Loving also appears on TIME’s “Fond Farewells” of 2008.

By From http://www.imsurroundedbyidiots.com • Dec 25th, 2008 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Link:
She never saw herself as a trailblazer. Yet the 1967 Supreme Court case Loving v. Virginia, which struck down interracial marriage bans, was Loving’s doing. Years after she and her white husband were thrown out of Virginia for having the gall to wed, Loving wrote Robert F. Kennedy, who was moved to action. Sometimes a […]
