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.

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.

I heard the same thing on CNN. Two hospitals within an hour's driver
said they had a bed for him.

We still have not heard anyone say the younger Deeds consented to
being admitted. If he didn't want to go, they couldn't make him go, no
matter how many beds were there. From what I see, most of these
admissions come after a criminal court proceeding ... in lieu of
prosecution or jail time. Think Trey Radel.
If the younger Deeds had survived the gunshot, he would have been
willing to check himself in for treatment. The fact that he had to be
involuntarily taken in for assessment implies he was not a willing
patient before the attack.

Unfortunately the democratic principle of letting no tragedy go to
waste is working here and they are milking this cow on all 4 tits


Since none of us have seen the call list of the facility that did the
preliminary intake on Deeds, we don't even know if the facility in
Charlottesville should have been called. I did get a chuckle out of the
claim that one of the facilities in a nearby town had someone competent
to do a psych eval of Deeds or anyone else on 24-hour call.

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.

Didn't you also post that Cropper was softening on that story?


No. But his later comments didn't reference that.

"Crooper released a statement late Tuesday which did not confirm what
he told the Times-Dispatch about Deeds' exam or a lack of available
beds, but described the process for holding someone under an emergency
custody order (ECO)":

That makes it sound like the son checked himself out


It doesn't sound that way at all. What it sounds like is that the later
statement simply didn't reference the earlier statement.

Would it be a surprise to you to learn that a bed in a psych facility
wouldn't be immediately available in that part of rural Virginia? They
'coptered the dad to Charlottesville, pretty much a two hour car drive
away because there wasn't a hospital near where the family lived that
was capable of handling the case. I wonder if that part of Virginia has
much more than a couple of crappy facilities for treating substance
abusers.

Additionally, as I pointed out in another post, Governor McDonnell and
the Virginia legislature made drastic cuts to the state's budget for
psychiatric hospital beds, and those cuts may well have impacted what
might have been available in a private psych hospital or at least a
general hospital that was equipped to handle psych patients.
