“Right now, we are going to be looking at the Confederate statues, but in terms of Monticello, Thomas Jefferson, and things of that nature, I think those are conversations we do need to have here in the city of Charlottesville.

After Bellamy refused to step down from his position on city council, I conducted a recall petition drive to have him removed from office. Nearly six hundred people signed a legally binding petition to have Bellamy removed from his position.
(Full disclosure: One of the multitudes of triggered Leftists harassing me and my signatories got too close, so I punched him. Much to the delight of the local liberal media I was charged with misdemeanor assault.)

Now here’s an ethical dilemma. In Livermore Falls, Maine, a man who had taken four people hostage in a home called a television news reporter who was outside covering the standoff. Police asked the reporter to hand them his phone. He complied, and an officer continued the conversation with the hostage-taker while pretending to be the reporter.
It would seem to violate any sense of journalistic ethics and yet it was a life-or-death situation. What would you have done? I think I would have done exactly what the reporter, Taylor Cairns of CBS 13, did, and then wondered later if there might have been a better way to handle it. I definitely believe Cairns did the right thing in the moment.
