2023.06.02 04:09 JanksyNova GoFundMe for Abduction Victim

GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/trauma-relief-for-abduction-victim
Hi everyone. I have.. a big ask here. On the night of May 10th my brother’s good friend came home from work to find a man named Don Jones burglarizing her home. She was viciously assaulted in her home. Her ordeal did not end there when her abductorapist took her by gunpoint to her own vehicle and abducted her, where her assault continued in the car. She was forced to jump from the moving vehicle to save her own life and sustained serious injuries. Had she not, things would’ve likely been far worse. A GoFundMe has been started for her to cover costs of medical expenses, therapy, and a new vehicle which Don Jones crashed and destroyed. She lost her car and everything in it, her phone, and other personal items. Based on that description of the man, as well as information given by other residents in the area, the suspect was identified as 35-year-old Don Jones.
Jones had taken her vehicle, and warrants were obtained for his arrest, according to Sheriff Kemp (Carrol County Sheriff’s Office). Authorities began a manhunt for Don Jones. Deputies found Jones near the Bear Trail and Timber Road intersection and then took him into custody . Jones is now being held at the New River Valley Regional Jail without bond on the following charges: Grand larceny, Brandishing a firearm, Burglary of a dwelling at night with intent to commit a felony or larceny with a deadly weapon Simple assault of law enforcement/fire/medical personnel, Possession of weapons by a convicted felon, Assault, firearm use in the commission of a felony, Kidnapping/abduction, Sexual assault, intercourse with a victim by force, threat, or intimidation.
This has deeply effected my brother. And I cannot fathom what she is going through right now. I have to share this and ask any of you if you could possibly also share this. And if you’re able, please donate. Thank you.

Keep all this in mind in regards to how much they likely understand about the LCS budget they just cut. Big talk but no actual strategy.

Virginia senator defends FBI investigation, compares traditionalist Catholics to radical Muslims
Senator Tim Kaine thinks Catholics are the problem in America. Will attending a Latin Mass be criminalized soon? This is revolting and we need to send Kaine back home!
Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA), a Catholic who was Sen. Hilary Clinton’s running mate in the 2016 presidential election, defended an FBI investigation into “radical traditionalist” Catholics that was brought to light by a leaked memo.
The memo, distributed by the FBI’s Richmond office, linked the traditional Latin Mass to hate groups. The memo, subsequently retracted by the FBI and condemned by Bishop Barry Knestout of Richmond, received criticism from 20 state attorneys-general and from former FBI leaders. The FBI director has received a subpoena from the House Judiciary Committee for all documents related to the investigation.
Sen. Kaine said the purpose of the investigation was actually to look into violent extremists who were targeting “radical traditionalist Catholics” in an effort to recruit them, according to WSET-TV, a television station based in Lynchburg, VA.
“We’ve done the same thing for years working in tandem with mosques because there have been groups that have tried to target or radicalize, especially young people,” added the senator, who “said he helped connect bishops with the FBI so they can further discuss these concerns with transparency.”

2023.03.07 02:52 Idk_whyIMadeThis Worried about methane

emissions from food add almost degree of warming
I’m worried as this and another article posted today states methane one of the biggest threats and many people seem to be saying this will make us go “over the edge” and hit 4c by 2100. I just feel like I’ve lost all hope at this point.

2023.03.01 17:53 reezick Lower taxes

Anyone have any info from the city council meeting on 2/28 about the tax discussion? WSET has a news article about the council discussing the school board funds, but nothing about the taxes. It was on the agenda and kind of seems like a big deal to not cover.
