The speeding plus the death wishes for his political adversary and his child, coming out as it has now, is the end of his political career.
Also, his 500 "service hours" to stay out of jail were with his own PAC. Not a good look.
And, it took the cops 3 miles to get him to stop.
Wishing political adversaries to get a bullet? Troubling.
What he told Coyner on the phone? Demented.

Apart from that, it bothers me that he went ahead and pursued the nomination knowing that this would get dug up at some point before the election. He could and should have stepped aside to allow another Democratic candidate like Shannon Taylor to run against Miyares.
Spanberger still has my vote, but I can't vote for Hashmi knowing that she's a big proponent of a casino in Tysons, and now I can't vote for Jones either. WHY CAN'T THE DEMOCRATS FIELD BETTER CANDIDATES?!?
He’s not Jason Miyares. I would crawl naked over broken glass to vote against Miyares.

We could have had Shannon Taylor as the AG candidate to challenge Miyares. There's no indication of similar skeletons in her closet.
I'm going to hold my nose and vote for Miyares for the first time, because Jones seems totally unacceptable to me. He is turning out to be a complete tool in all aspects of his life.
No rational person is choosing Miyares over Jones, Miyares is a trumper fascist nut job.
Sure. Jay jones has shown he is unfit for this position.

I don't care if the guy was caught speeding if he fights back against money being stolen from the state of Virginia. Miyares' bootlicking is allow outright theft from Virginians.

Exactly.
Someone who will bend over for Trump for the next Big Lie…or someone with a lead foot?
Not even a question.
One very well could have killed you, the rest is just moral outrage. I'd personally rather be outraged and alive.
Almost everyone speeds on the highway. Your ability to evaluate risk is fcked up.
World of difference between speeding and doing 116 on a public road. Roads simply aren’t made for that speed, and the closing speed is not something other road users are going to expect.
It takes an aggressive disregard for the law to do that. Just what you want in an AG…
Oh for God's sake. "Public roads aren't made for that speed" - tell that to the Germans.
The faux outrage about this is precious coming from the Don't Tread on Me crowd.
The Autobahn is built to way higher standards than I64. German licensing is also far stricter and Germans understand that vehicles may be moving that fast and use lanes appropriately.
They also have trains that go even faster so people in an actual hurry can just do that.
