ALLEN RESIGNATION WATCH- DAY TWO

(Note, this should not be confused with the Allen Withdrawal Watch).

I spoke to a deputy in the Louisa County Sheriff's Office late yesterday afternoon. They are looking though old records for any report of a deer's head stuffed into a black family's mailbox.  This is an active investigation again- I have the cell phone number of deputy working on the case. 

If you have any information to help bring the person(s) responsible to justice, please contact me and I will get you the contact information for the Deputy.

HAHAHA.

Sad that someone would actually do this, but it seems way to out there to be made up. Hell, we should boot Allen for shooting Bambi alone!

Oh yea, forgot, he's a racist too.

NGB, should we start a reward fund for information that leads to the arrest of whoever stuffed a doe's head into a black family's mailbox?

[not gretchen bulova]

You got it wrong. We know who did it, we need to know who he did it too.

The reward would be Allen's head in November!

[Kenton Ngo]

Allen's head stuffed in a ballot box, of course.

[not gretchen bulova]

That'd be tough to do with Electronic Voting Kenton! Those machines are small

Did black people in rural Virginia do a lot of calling to the local white sheriff's office back in the early 70's? I'm guessing there was never a report of this.

[Webb Defeats Allen]

Guys, can't we leave this character assassination stuff behind. Jim Webb wins on issues. We don't need this stuff.

Let's talk about the war in Iraq, George Allen's inability to show any leadership in the Senate, and the fact that voted to raise his own salary 4 times for a total of nearly $32k/year, while leaving the minimum wage stagnant.

The issues are damning enough. Jim Webb is the right man to bring integrity and accountability back to the US Senate.

[David]

I disgree Webb defeats Allen, lets keep talking like this. It worked for Jerry Kilgore last year when he went negative (Hitler ad).

Sadly, the statute of limitations would have long since run. No hate crimes laws back then either. Fact is, we can all waste our time and have a little laugh with this but it'll lead to nothing.

There were postal crimes. You can stick anything you like in a mailbox you know.

[Kevin]

What side of the head do you stick the stamp?

Why did the Washington Post article not include the Larry Sabato comments? I emailed them and asked.

And hopefully there are reporters out in the area of this farm that the deer was shot - asking questions.

[Bruce]

So they are investigating a crime and you are asking for help proving that any crime happened for them to investigate?

How can you "bring someone to justice" for an act you can't even prove occured?

I love the implication in Ben's original post that there was already a crime being investigated. He says "this is an active investigation AGAIN." As if this is some unsolved case that has been haunting the Louisa Sheriff's office. There never was an investigation and there won't be one now. Keep in mind, no hate crimes laws, long expired SOL for property destruction and postal crimes are federal matters having no relation to the Louisa Sheriff's office.

[James Young]

What a crock. Any statute of limitations on Virginia crime has almost certainly expired. There were no thought ... er, "hate" crime laws on the books thirty years ago. I told you both of these things Sunday night, Ben.

But I do know the name of one guy involved: Ken Shelton. S-H-E-L-T-O-N.

[this is sad]

There is no statue of limitations on murder! Do you really think the deet survived being decapitated?

[Not Don Rumsfeld]

That bear head did that NTS put in my mailbox. Of course the body was still attached.

Allen's fallen behind but a home run could tie it up.

[Batter]

With a louisville slugger?

I'm hungry, what's for lunch? Pork chops, ham sandwich? Turtle Soup?

Venison?

[brimur]

James: This whole right-wing notion that hate crimes are not real because they are "thought crimes" is just plain stupid. By that thinking there should be no distinction between first-degree and second-degree murder. The fact is that most crimes require a certain intent, this is known as "mens rea". So go back to the drawing board juveniles.

Turtle is not Kosher.

Really NLS, this is getting out of hand. I oppose Allen as much as anyone else, but you're getting shrill. The last two days seem like a scene out of Arthur Miller's The Crucible, and you're feuling the witch hunt. Just sit back and let some of the back and forth of credibility and debunking to settle.

[Sam]

Ben:

Take a chill pill and a day off. Relax. Watch TV. Read a good book. Do yoga. Calm down and start posting again when you have something intersting and constructive to say.

Drew's 100% right. This is looking more and more like a witch hunt every day. We can raise the dialog in this race back up to the level that we deserve.

Hey NLS, call John Walsh and get this thing on America's Most Wanted! The sad part is that Allen would waste a deer head. The brain and the eyballs are the most succulent parts! Throw in some fava beans and a nice chianti, and you got yourself a helluva meal.
