Never fear -- it's government overreaction(s) such as this that motivate the voting public into action (at the ballot box). The Democrat party in VA totally underestimated the black voting block. They want to make everything a race issue, with the hope of reaping the rewards in November. That may work in Richmond (which is a liberal bastion), but not in rural areas. Many black voters are coming off the Democrat plantation and are looking at what is happening in Virginia and across the country with a new, more enlightened perspective.
