Okay we get it Gov. Abigail Spanberger had that classic Democratic Party knee jerk fear of the "being soft on crime" slur, so she selected an apparatchik, a cog in the VADOC (Virginia Department of Corrections) machinery of impunity, as its new Director and this is where and why she and her incoming team are susceptible to the thoughtless and unforced error critique and criticism, because, Gov. Spanberger had ample evidence, from Local, National and even International media that simply picking from the rotted apples of the existing apparatchik of VADOC Directorate would be cataclysmic and indicative of that, political kryptonite, "incompetence". Listed below are media accounts that not only indicts the still existing and constituted VADOC Leadership but exposes Gov. Spanberger's nominee, Joseph W. Walters as accessory, complicit and a co-conspirator in the underpinning dehumanization of the Virginia Prisoner, who needless I add wasn't imprisoned to be dehumanized.

Not to mention the thousands of lawsuits filed by the Virginia Prisoner against the practices and philosophy supported, endorsed, defended and enforced by Gov. Spanberger's pick to head VADOC, which all Spanberger and her team had to do is a simple cursory dive and she would have quickly realized and recognized with her politician instincts that Joseph W. Walters, unlike her pick to head Virginia's Department of Homeland Security, STANLEY MEADOR, was ethically and politically radioactive. This unforced error selection of Joseph W. Walters by Spanberger, coming out of the gate isn't an automatic and irredeemable disqualifier of her incipient and nascent Governorship tenure, hell Ralph Northam survived his "blackface" bigotry and evidenced the capacity for historical redress, so yes Gov. Spanberger has a tableau of potential. Nonetheless, what this moment of her selection for Director of VADOC requires and demands is it's rejection and non-confirmation, by Virginia's Senate. Accordingly we call upon all Virginians cognitive of the perfection of unity among the people to lend their voice and energies in demanding the rejection of Joseph W Walters and his impunity as Director of The Virginia Department of Corrections. The first step and foundation of that perfection of unity of the people, is "equality under law".
