[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe you CAN vote in a primary at 17 if you will be 18 by the general election. I wonder if he got confused by that or maybe he’s just really dumb.

No one was “outraged” at McAullife’s 21 year old daughter posed in front of the Lynchburg City Republican Committee office giving the finger and posted it all over Instagram.

Youngkin when asked said he didn’t have opinions on his opponent’s children and refused to comment further.  [/quote]

One is a crime, the other isn’t [/quote]

actually what Youngkin's kid did was not illegal, dumb yes but illegal no.  What McAullife's daughter did actually might be a class 1 misdemeanor. Take a law class my friend.[/quote]
Giving the finger is a misdemeanor?[/quote]

Yes.[/quote]
Explain, please.[/quote]

Because it is an "obscene gesture" and depending on the circumstances can qualify as a class 1 misdemeanor.  Look I am neither here nor there on Terry or Youngkin's semi and full adult children and both sides seem super dumb to do what they each did.  But remember in Virginia you can be charged with a crime for giving the finger, so just be careful next time someone cuts you off in traffic, don't flip the bird. I was surprised the woman on the bike who flipped off Trump a few years ago wasn't charged.[/quote]

You're funny. [/quote]

So you may want to understand the Virginia code; the specific facts of what happened in Lynchburg would be needed which we don’t have but what the daughter did could quality as a crime against peace and order under title 18.2. Where people inside the offices where the photos were taken?  Any Republican employees in the parking lot who saw the gesture and photo taken? Also the publication of the photo on Instagram clearly shows the Republican office sign in the background, which adds another element of identifying to whom the gesture is directed.

You don’t have the right to give the middle finger directed specifically at someone in Virginia. It can be deemed an obscene gesture, threatening or “a threat”. People like to throw around the first amendment but it has limitations. I do know of people getting charged with this due when the gesture was made in traffic/ road rage. [/quote]
