Virginia State Senator Creigh Deeds hospitalized

Virginia state senator Creigh Deeds was transported to a hospital
Tuesday with serious injuries after allegedly being assaulted
in his
Bath County home earlier in the morning, according to NBC News.

A second individual was found deceased inside the residence.

Deeds, who was the 2009 Democratic nominee for governor, is being
treated at the University of Virginia Medical Center in
Charlottesville.

State police plan to hold a news conference to update the public
at noon
today.
What sort of trauma did Deeds suffer?
Was the deceased Dem or Rep, Male or female, black white or
other. By
what means was the deceased dispatched?

Cmon Mr. Dip**** reporter. Don't you remember the 5 Ws.

It was in Harry's original note
"An earlier news report stated the dead person was an adult son of
Deeds and he had been shot."

Sen Deeds was stabbed.

So far CNN is not talking about any other people.

The Virginia State Police had a news conference, and the
spokesperson
said the Creigh Deeds had been stabbed numerous times around the
upper
body and head. Deeds was conscious and talked to the police. His
wounds
were considered serious.

The dead person, who was shot, is Deeds' son, an occasional
student at
the College of William and Mary, a first-rate college in
Virginia, in
Willamsburg.

The police spokesperson said that at the time of the conference,
they
were not looking for suspects.

That's about all the "meat" revealed.

Damn shame the Deeds didn't have a gun handy.

John H. -- Hope you're having a great day!

Somebody had a gun because the son was shot. The only open question is
if there was a 3d party involved. The cops said they are not looking
for one.

Assuming the police "are not looking for suspects", it sure sounds
like
domestic violence.

The dead son had serious emotional issues and apparently was seeking
treatment but there was no facility in his part of the state with an
empty bed, or so the news reports.

According to my wife, who knows about the "availability" of facilities
for those who need a residential program, the lack of space is a common
problem in this country almost everywhere, especially if you don't the
funds or insurance to pay $2000+ a day for a private facility. It's not
easy to find space for day treatment, either, or, in fact, for many
kinds
of treatment for mental/emotional problems sans cash or insurance
that will cover it.

Hey, this is America. I'm sure the Republican plan to provide health
coverage to all Americans will take care of this, right?

He was a state senator. If anyone could get a room at a residential
facility, he would be top of the list. And since the kid is on the dad's
insurance, sine he was under 26, the state would have paid.

Oh. You're familiar with the availability of beds at psychiatric
hospitals in that part of Virginia. Well, of course you are.

CNN reports:

The Richmond Times-Dispatch reported Tuesday that he had been given a
mental health evaluation under an emergency custody order Monday, but was
released because no psychiatric bed could be located across a wide area
of western Virginia, Dennis Cropper, executive director of the Rockbridge
Area Community Services Board, told the newspaper.

And once again, Bilious...every day for you.

He was a Senator. I bet they could have got a room! Seems as if the
Dr.Dr.Dr.'s of Virginia did not think he was that bad. Makes those mental
health professionals look a little incompetent.

And again you demonstrate your ignorance.

You demonstrate you bias. Again and again and again.

What bias is that, Bill? There's a shortage of beds for psychiatric
patients in Virginia generally, and especially in the more rural parts
of the state. I have no idea what facilities might be available out in
western rural Virginia.

Your comment that because the young man's father is a state senator, a
room would automatically be made available is just more of your
uninformed nonsense.

The reality is, many of the "facts" of this sad case are still unknown.

Your screed against conservatives is falling apart. The facilities in and around where Deeds
lived have responded that they were never contacted about the availability of a pshyc bed.
Most said that they had beds available and would have accepted young Deeds if anyone has
called and asked.
