Apparently Corey stated that his amendment to the already amended resolution would not be discussed OR voted on today.  What is he doing?  Does he even know what he is doing?  This obsession with the resolution is moving into a realm of irresponsibility.  This county has many serious issues before it, and continuing to be mired in the resolution is NOT addressing those very serious problems in PWC.

Alanna said it best at citizen time, short and sweet……”it is time to move on”

 

57 Thoughts to “amended, amended resolution by Corey goes nowhere!”

  1. Anon-100

    Some people think the resolution IS important.

  2. Marie

    I e-mailed the BOCS. I received a response from Mr. Nohe about 1:30 p.m. At that point the Chairman had not even discussed the issue with him. What is going on? Does CS go into a huddle of one and come out with a game plan?

    This is just irresponsible governing. You are right, Elena, there are many other issues that require the BOCS time and attention.

  3. Anon-100: OK, so some people think the resolution IS important. That is understood. What is unclear is why Corey Stewart feels the need to tweak and polish the resolution at every board meeting. Is there not other pressing buisiness before the board? How is Chief Deane supposed to implement any policy (whether it’s one he likes or not) if that policy keeps moving? How are our police officers supposed to know what they can (and can’t do) in the realm of immigration enforcement? While Stewart’s revisions seemingly would “strengthen” the resolution, wouldn’t they also open the door to the subjectivity that leads to racial profiling accusations?

    If the resolution is important, why not let it sit untouched for at least a month so it can actually be put into effect. If it doesn’t seem to be doing what it was intended to do, it’s going to take more than a couple of weeks to make that evident. Let’s give it time to work (or not work) before anyone starts tinkering again.

  4. Marie

    Agreed -Turn PW Blue. It is like CS is playing a game of ping pong and using the police officers as his ball. This is crazy!

  5. junkyard dog

    What is really going on? Is this an end run? A Hail Mary? I honestly have no idea what the BOCS are trying to accomplish at this point.

    Over at the OTHER there was erroneous reporting done about Dean Elementary School. Rumor mongering it appears. The superindendent say it is misinformation. There is gobbledegoop about the BOCS meeting that makes no sense. Supposedly Corey announced he would not be making a resolution. So what’s up? More misinformation between the OTHER and Channel 4 news team?

    Stewart and Stirrup are attempting to sneak up on us?

  6. Rick Bentley

    Clearly we need to vote most of these supervisors out. Only Stewart and Stirrup seem to have any concern for average people.

  7. Censored bybvbl

    Rick Bentley, I think S&S are the ones with no respect for PWC residents. If they did respect residents’ opinions, they would have solicited them in the beginning (and I don’t count the marathon citizens time as a public hearing) and they wouldn’t be playing these assinine games like the one Stewart tried to play today (or yesterday, with the intention of pulling something off today).

    If they weren’t aware that Gospel Greg will never be satisfied, they weren’t paying attention today. Now we can expect Minuteman tactics at our 7-11s – with the accompanying loss of tax dollars as police who could be on patrol elsewhere have to play referee between the daylaborers and the Gang of Greg. If we get lucky, Greg will have the chance to prove his citizenship at the ADC. Ha ha.

  8. Moon-howler

    Censored,

    Sort of makes you want to go over and check out the day labor places doesn’t it? 😉

    I wonder what time the action will happen? I guess the BOCS has been ‘served notice.’

  9. Anon-100

    ” More misinformation between the OTHER and Channel 4 news team? ”
    OMG! There’s a conspiracy between these two? Please tell me it isn’t so!

  10. Red Dawn

    Anon-100,

    are you there ( right now) to respond to a question that I have ( TIME is of the essence)

  11. Red Dawn

    Is there ANYONE that is reading right now, ( i have something to prove) but time is of the essence….

  12. Red Dawn

    SCREW IT:

    Here is the deal. I was able to comment on BVBL ( much to my surprise after being moderated) So I have posted comments in the last couple of days with NO problem. So I thought everything would be okay to post AGAIN ….UNTIL I posted the 7th comment ( which is being counted as the 6th….NOTE the time of my post and when the 7th comment by ME was posted …..AND….I find it funny that it was because I mentioned BOBBY Marshall)

    4th Circuit: Baby Murder Is OK

    By Greg L | 20 May 2008 | Virginia Politics, Crime | 6 Comments

    WTOP is reporting that the 4th Circuit upheld a 2005 ruling that stuck down the Commonwealth’s law banning partial-birth abortions. How anyone could think that aborting full-term unborn children is anything other than a barbaric outrage is utterly beyond comprehension. This is murder by physician, pure and simple.

    This is definitely going to be an inspiration for legislation in the next session of the General Assembly.

    I don’t give money to the homeless as a general rule, I don’t get “fat stacks” on the corner with drugs don’t smoke the finest green and I don’t stand in front of abortion clinics calling the customers whores or killers or sinners. The fact is we are all sinners and all sins are equal in the eyes of God. There are just some sins that are so unconscionable to my human mind I can not fathom how anybody could justify them. Killing babies is murder especially partial birth abortion. If you get that far into the pregnancy it seems to me putting the baby up for adoption would be a much more reasonable option.

    It sure sounds like some of you all hate those who you perceive as liberals.

    Now here is what I don’t understand: ” Killing babies is murder especially partial birth abortion. ” Why does the method matter? I hope everyone realizes that is a political term, not a medical term. Why is a ‘partial birth abortion’ worse than any other kind?

    Murder is illegal killing. A legal procedure, by definition, is not murder. It might be unacceptable behavior in the eyes of some.

    How odd that in this country there are still people who fight birth control just as hard as they fight legal abortion.

    Red Dawn, can you sum up what you want us to react to in that post? I couldn’t get through even the first 200 words. Was there something coherent or meaningful hidden in there or was it just to remind us that BVBL crashed and burned about a week after this site was started? What are they saying about Corey’s dead horse?

  18. Red Dawn

    WhyHereWhyNow.

    Sorry, yes I can sum up ( as well as other people that have been censored, etc)

    I was trying to CAPTURE in REAL TIME the censorship of comments on BVBL.

    TRUTH!!!!!!!

    ( trying to PROVE to other people that have NOT experienced it as I am so SICK of SH^T flung and not flushed and how it is MANIPULATED..ewwww….THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT ACTUALLY PLAY WITH POO POO!!!!)

  19. Elena

    Red Dawn,
    Your post with the video is missing. I think that is what you are asking about, WHICH post of yours is missing? BTW, I love that song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gZEox8Crwc

  20. Elena

    Some over there keep claiming that we are censoring here on anti, so far, not one post has been deleted, even though I was tempted, sorely tempted recently, with a comment about Katherine.

  21. WhyHereWhyNow

    Red Dawn, I’m mildly curious as to why mentioning Marshall got you censored, but why don’t you just make the conversion complete and stay here where you belong? Stop looking at BVBL, stop thinking about BVBL, and stop wondering about BVBL just like the rest of Prince William County and the Commonwealth of Virginia.

  22. WhyHereWhyNow

    But first tell us what they’re saying about the dead horse!!!! (Yeah, I know, I’m not doing so well on the “wondering” part of the equation…old habits die hard.)

  23. Red Dawn

    Elena,

    NO I got a response to the video that I posted ( and only posted the video) I got a response back from sahdman AND when I tried to respond back to him I went into moderation ( have a sneaking suspicion that it has to do with me talking about Bob Marshal)

    Does anyone remember Nancy Drew or the Hardy Boys?

    Take a look at the time of my post on THIS blog, then look at what I posted and the comment count at those times AND then COUNT the comments ( listed 1, 2, 3)

    I know, who pays that much attention to DETAIL…but whoever does will see the truth

  24. Red Dawn

    WhyHereWhyNow, 20. May 2008, 23:51

    “Red Dawn, I’m mildly curious as to why mentioning Marshall got you censored, but why don’t you just make the conversion complete and stay here where you belong?

    YOU KNOW WHAT?

    You are SO right ( talking about a dead horse, I was beating it and beating it…know that is not what you meant in another comment of yours but it is the same thing)

    I was trying to give BVBL benefit of doubt ( like I always do for ANYONE)

    I do belong here and there is more truth here ( I was trying to prove it but feel that I have failed)
    Bottom line, I am comfortable here, I do NOT support illegals, I am not a lib,I can argue everything that anyone can throw at me because I speak truth and cannot go wrong with it.

  25. Red Dawn

    Why,

    I forgot to answer you about Bob Marshal…it has been a long time since I STARTED to see some sort of whack with my comments showing up and the majority of my comments in question had something to do with him or corey

  27. Red Dawn, BVBL is the stinky bathroom no one goes into anymore. If the stench is too bad to go in to use the toilet, why would you go in to read the writing on the stalls?

  28. Red Dawn, I’ve read your posts and I think I understand: your comments are now invisible on Gospel Greg’s site, and it’s because you criticized Bob Marshall. Funny thing is, Bob Marshall is not an extremist hate-monger. Why would Gospel Greg censor someone who criticizes him?

    Anyway, nice work, Nancy Drew. That’s probably a big reason why the Supervisors thought public opinion was anti-immigrant last year — anyone who didn’t sound like the mob got censored and/or attacked. Thank God the days of bullying are over.

  29. Rick Bentley

    They didn’t solicit residents’ opinions? I think that if you listen to what they’ve tried to tell you, they were sitting placidly enjoying life in their gated communities when residents’ opinions started flying at them, louder and more intensely than they had ever anticipated.

  30. Elena

    Rick,
    What happened with the resolution, from beginning to end, was a circus. That was an example how NOT to run government. There was not real process, there was NO formal public hearing, no outside objective sources to create a real dialogue about solutions. It was a Board “ambushed” by John Stirrup initially, and then railroaded by Corey and Greg. I know you feel strongly about this issue, but real effective government starts with transparency, and that was sorely lacking throughout this whole process.

  31. hello

    Maybe CS is looking to make the resolution stronger because of things like the story in todays Metro section of the WP. An illegal alien from El Salvador broke into a house in Manassas Park and raped a 10 year old girl. That poor girl will live the rest of her life with this traumatic event at the hands of someone who should have never been here in the first place. I know that the vast majority or illegal aliens here do not commit these types of crimes (just various other types of crimes – id theft, driving w/out a license or insurance…) but come on… if this was someone in your family or even your own daughter you would want a stronger resolution as well. What is odd is that you never see any of these types of stories on this site, I wonder why?

  32. Censored bybvbl

    Rick Bentley, I don’t live in a gated community and I’m not aware that anyone here does. Which supervisors live in one?

    The point was that if the BOCS was interested in residents’ input, the Board should have held a public hearing or two. Perhaps Gospel Greg’s crowd was afraid that the majority of residents wouldn’t have supported their objectives and that that would have been made clear at a public hearing…so they had to sneak their resolution in the without public input. (And as I said, I don’t count the marathon citizens time as a public hearing.)

  33. L6C

    I agree with Elana. It is time for you to move on. The resolution is in place. The illegals you love so much are leaving, and the businesses that catered to them are failing. You have an empty suit named Obama to get elected and an amnesty bill to get passed. You needn’t spend time trying to get the resolution rescinded, because the unenlightened majority want it to stand.You all lost this one. Best to move on to other things.

  34. hello, You don’t change an entire policy because of one news article or even ten. You do it because it is logical, reasonable, effective, economic, and absolutely necessary. And you do it openly with input from the entire population….you know, the people that LIVE here.

    The abortion debate is interesting, but if I start in on this, I won’t end. My answers are too complicated because I am not on either “side.” Per usual.

  35. Not Me, Bubba

    “Maybe CS is looking to make the resolution stronger because of things like the story in todays Metro section of the WP. An illegal alien from El Salvador broke into a house in Manassas Park and raped a 10 year old girl.”

    Hello – I tried finding the article you claimed is in today’s WaPo, could you please link to it so we can all read it? I’ve searched Metro, Virginia and Pr. William sections and it is nowhere to be found…

  36. hello

    kgotthardt – Ill give you that, you do it openly with input from the population. However, it’s not just this one news article or even ten like it, it’s also the roulette allot of illegals immigrants play when ever they get behind the wheel of a car also. I would be willing to bet that most have not studied the DMV manual and don’t know most of the rules of the road, my neighbor was just t-boned by one on rt.1 and spent 3 days in the hospital with broken ribs and other injuries. From what I see around my neighborhood (rt.1 in Woodbridge) I’m more afraid for their own children who I see almost every day (infants even) riding on the laps of parents or standing in the front seat. It won’t take much of an accident for these kids to be seriously hurt or even killed by their parents.

  37. Hello, are you a clone of Gospel Greg, or are you Gospel Greg? You sound exactly like him. What sort of training is involved to become a Gospel Greg clone? Do you just go to the meetings and concentrate really hard when he’s talking to memorize every word? Or do you watch his videos over and over again? Or does he give you a one-on-one tutorial after school on Wednesdays?

    To answer your specious question: that is a serious crime, but if the purpetrator in this or any case is of a particular race, class, religion, etc … it does NOT give you the right to judge others of that race, class, religion, etc., let alone punish them.

    I was once held up at gun point by a man who was of a particular race. It did not change the way I felt about that race.

    I was once attacked by a mob of people from a particular race. It did not change the way I felt about that race (luckily, since it was my own).

    Law enforcement is a science and an art. It involves more than just throwing people in jail and chasing bad guys. It involves fostering good relationships with the community, that means everyone in the community regardless of what they look like or who is afraid of them. If public safety is truly the goal, the last thing a police force can do is be percieved as being appropriated by the dominant race to persecute a minority. Many people have this perception as it is either because of police policies in previous eras, or random acts of misconduct in recent times.

  38. hello

    WhyHereWhyNow – I’m nobodys clone nor am I Greg and to tell you the truth I don’t agree with allot of what Greg says or does. However, I do feel that even one child being raped by an illegal immigrant is one too many. I’ve never said anything about race and I’ve never said anything about punishing a race, not sure where you got that from or where you were going with that. The fact that this guy was from El Salvador isn’t the point, the point that this guy was here illegally. This girl should have never experienced this trama which she will carry with her for the rest of her life. If the resolution can protect just one child from such an event I’m for it 100%.

    Not me, Bubba – the article is on B8 of today’s Metro section in the Virginia Briefing, you can also find it here: (maybe the admin will provide a link as well.)http://www.insidenova.com/isn/news/crime/article/man_charged_in_oct_sexual_assault_of_girl/15819/

    I think that the resolution argument would end if they just asked everyone their status when ever they are pulled over or come into contact with police (with the excpetion of a witness to a crime). I can understand the concerns about profiling so just make it standard procedure.

  39. Not Me, Bubba

    Thanks, hello. You originally stated it was in the WaPo…no wonder I couldn’t find it! Thanks for providing the link, although I don’t know if I feel much better after having read that…

  40. Elena

    Last week I included a tragic story about a young boy killed by some driving while under the influence. I was given a lot of grief for posting that story, I even hesitated before I posted it. My point is that people commit crimes, they are horrible crimes, there is no question. Some people who commit crimes are illegal aliens the inverse is NOT TRUE. All illegal aliens commit crimes is not true. It is a civil penalty to be here undocumented. I have children, I feel for this little girl, but I refuse to say if we get rid of illegal aliens, crime will stop. People who commit crimes against children, in most cases, have been abused themselves. In order to prevent this type of crime, should we lock up people who have been abused before they commit the crime? Do we venture into the world of this 2002 movie “minority report” :

    “Thrills, spills and kills — well, not the last, if Tom Cruise can help it. Cruise plays John Anderton, a top Pre-Crime cop in the late-21st century, when technology can predict crimes before they’re committed. But Anderton becomes the quarry when another investigator (Colin Farrell) targets him for a murder charge. Can Anderton find a glitch in the system and prove his innocence before it’s too late? ”

    Having people documented, in some way, is the key to this issue. making sure that citizens feel comfortable going to the police is KEY to crime solving.

  41. hello

    Elena, why would someone give you grief about posting a story like that? I totally agree that (and I’ve said it before) if you removed any and all illegal aliens from PWC there would still be crime in PWC. However, crimes like the one in today’s post (as well as murders committed by illegal aliens) are in most cases PREVENTABLE and if the resolution is the tool to preventing such a crime I’m all for it.

    Your statement “All illegal aliens commit crimes is not true. It is a civil penalty to be here undocumented.” is only somewhat true. Most don’t commit serious or violent crimes like this one, however, I think it’s time we stop kidding ourselves saying that illegal aliens are only guilty of being here undocumented. So what do they do then, they just come to PWC and sit in their homes? They don’t drive, they don’t work with false id’s, etc..??? Being here is only the first “civil penalty” or crime they have committed, most commit many more along the way, to think otherwise is just putting blinders on to not acknowledge the real situation.

  42. quedeque

    it is really unfortunate how all of the positive contributions of immigrants (undocumented and otherwise) are dismissed as propaganda yet their few, negative actions (which are not to be dismissed, by any means) are highlighted and cited as indicative of the larger undocumented population. critics expect immigrants to automatically assimilate into the larger populace and the reality is that its not that simple. give them a few years and wait for the results. i’m sure that it would be readily apparent how they do eventually become just as “American” as the rest of us. They might keep speaking Spanish but just wait and see… their children will most likely speak only broken Spanish, and THEIR children will probably not speak Spanish at all.

    I say this only because this is reflective of my family. My parents came as illegal immigrants and I am very, very proud when I stop to think how much they have accomplished. The surprising thing (to some, but not to me) is that my parents are not unique – most, if not all, of our family friends are also well-established and love this country as their own. It disgusts me to think that my parents and their friends are looked down upon simply because at one time they resorted to coming to this country without the proper documentation.

  43. Rick Bentley

    I don’t think transparency is missing. I think Stewart and Stirrup generally speak in calm even tones about exactly what’s happening here. I think that the reality on the ground just doesn’t fit a modern PC view of life, post civil-rights era, and many of you try to reject it. (And the mass media helps you in this endeavor, as do our elected elitist representatives).

    What happened in PWC is that we had an influx of illegal aliens, mostly Hispanic as it turned out, who crowded into homes at levels unprecedented in our area. The citizens of PWC, who I think most of you will agree aren’t particularly steeped in racist thought or background, on the whole reacted to these people and their behavior with anger. The anger was such that the BOS had little choice but to vote unanimously in favor of resolutions that some of you don’t like, and that we know 6 or 7 of them don’t like, because so many people have become so disgusted with what their communities were turning into.

    Do the BOS live in gated communities? Tell me this. Do any of them live next to houses full of illegals, or have they? Many of their constituents have.

  44. Censored bybvbl

    Rick Bentley, I’ve lived next door to an overcrowded house and I’ve lived in neighborhoods with crime. What I didn’t do was run to the BOCS and ask for a resolution targetting immigrants. I prefer to try to solve the actual problem in my neighborhood as quickly as possible. I think you and your neighbors were right in alerting the BOCS to your neighborhood’s problems. Perhaps the entire county would have been better off had you pressed hard for a task force to address the issue, a task force that included members of the Hispanic community …perhaps including members of MWB. The object is to solve problems not draw up sides and create a battle in the area in which we all have to live.

  45. Hello, one child or one ANYONE being raped by ANYONE is one too many.

    And Rick, purely my suggestion, but you might want to refrain from demeaning the post-civil-rights era. For many people, this era is the only one in which they have experienced even a modicum of justice. Rolling Civil Rights into a ball of what you call “PC” makes a mockery of people like MLK and others who died to gain equality for all.

    How on earth do you repeatedly change policy and keep 500+ people up to to speed? Is the Chairman looking for a lawsuit to remain in the news or what?

    WHWN,

    Bob Marshall is not an extremist hate monger? I really hope you are kidding about that one. Indeed he is. He just is minding his Ps and Q’s because he wants to run for senate. Mark Warner is going to eat him for lunch would be my guess, if he gets his party’s nomination.

    Is anyone else upset about how Mr. Wills was treated yesterday afternoon? I am outraged that the chairman of the bocs would call him out and threaten him like an errant child.

    Public officials are going to hear things they do not want to hear. I thought I heard Mr. Stewart tell Mrs. Caddigan that responding to citizen from the dais was not permitted several months ago.

    I was shocked and disappointed that Mr. Stewart behaved in such a shameful manner. Mr. Wills never raised his voice or displayed inappropriate behavior that I could see.

    Red Dawn, are you going to allow your presidential candidate to be treated like this?

  49. Information only..

    MH,

    I would NOT stand for my “presidential candidate” to be treated in such a manner.

    Corey sure did tell Mrs. C those very words. Then for him to turn around and do that very same thing. I couldn’t help but notice a police presence for the pm session. Hmmm.

    Moon-howler, Stewart did indeed say that the BOCS didn’t/wouldn’t respond to the citizens’ comments made at Citizens Time. Did you notice how the BOCS didn’t answer the lady who was speaking for herself and her mother about adult daycare? They didn’t answer her direct questions. If Stewart felt that Mills had stepped over the line with any accusations thrown at the Board, he could have made the same admonishment to Gospel Greg and his threat to take matters into his own hands . (I’m assuming he meant physical confrontation at the area’s 7-11s whether it begins as such or escalates to that point.)
