Recently Nick Minock of WJLA 7NEWS attacked Spanberger for actions of Virginia's Parole Board. As I indicated in my initial response to his comments, his motive wasn't that of improving the Parole process with analysis of its reform. Instead his work was about critiquing the Board to break Virginia law, by not granting eligible prisoners Parole, which as a reminder exist to be granted. In other words analysis of Parole isn't from the vantage, why should it be granted, but why shouldn't it. All and everything that is wrong, unjust and compromising in Virginia's Social Contract didn't appear, just because a Democrat, is Virginia's Executive, which Governor Abigail Spanberger is. But rather all that is wrong, unjust and compromising exist in Virginia due to the continuum of the World View contained in the attacks against Spanberger, for the type of Speech her presence, existence and motive-force presents and represents. To what extent Governor Abigail Spanberger is able to course correct the Accountability-Function of governance, is something we can quibble over. But that doesn't mean that her responses as it currently stands to issues of Virginia's imprisonment scheme haven't been historic and we should acknowledge such. In the context that we understand that the work of Prison Reform in Virginia is primarily that of organizing-explanations and exposure of the narrative that has maintained the extra-judicial nature of the imprisonment scheme. In so many words, the work of reform is reclaiming correct word-definitions, pushing back against deliberate machinations, like Nick Minock critiquing the Parole Board to break the law, exposing euphemisms the dehumanizers of the Virginia prisoner deploy in acting out their extra-judicial impulses and above-the-lawism, challenging collaborations between the media and the reactionaries of Virginia's organized-violence, in their quest to propagandize their misdeeds and or sow dis and misinformation. In earlier times, this work required its very own infrastructure. However, considering the current quantitative and qualitative existing mechanisms of exposing the fraudulent narratives of the obstructionist forces, opposed to holding the Virginia prison accountable available to the FAMILY, ALLY and FRIEND. Works by the Nick Minock of the World shouldn't go unchallenged. For one we cannot expect Governor Abigail Spanberger in her official capacity to engage Nick Minock and his insidiousness. For one it doesn't allow those Virginians whose habit is to block out political activity from those elected, to pay attention. An attention they'd have when the debate is held by the averageness of a family member of a Virginia prisoner, with the likes of a Nick Minock. Or the attention that will focus itself if the debate is between the family member of the imprisoned with a survivor-victim of an alleged act a Virginian is convicted of and imprisoned for. Whatever the contours of the debate what it will not be about, is blame and finger pointing, because both survivor-victim and family of the imprisoned are victims. Both are harmed. As such there can be a level of honesty of expressions of how to approach and see Prison Reform in Virginia. Furthermore by speaking out against the attackers of Governor Abigail Spanberger, it allows her to express resolve upon the recognition that there is appeal and support for her efforts. Historically activity family of the imprisoned have engaged in, is complaints to officials, while being silent to the destructive work of a Nick Minock.So SPEAK UP.
