-
Andy Parker is not new to the political-media, having a significant background in Democrat politics. He served on the Martinsville Council and ran for a seat in the Virginia House of Delegates, well prior to his daughter’s tragedy.
-
Apparently, he has thrust himself into the current political campaign by making some very “provocative” statements in the “social media” to several candidates running for public office.
-
It’s not clear how this will help his gun-control agenda, nor is it clear how this will help or detract from the political fortunes of those he has “targeted”.
-
Clearly, his daughter’s killer had major mental problems that should be the primary focus of this “cause-effect” tragedy just as Delegate Craig Deeds son’s attack upon him with a knife was a mental health tragedy.

-
Senator Bill Stanley has reacted by filing a formal complaint with police claiming he was “threatened”.
Based on the alleged comment; It’s not clear if that is a reasonable and prudent action or how it may relate to the election that is only five days away.
Perhaps both Parker and Stanley need to stop, take a deep breath and deescalate this situation in the best interests of Virginian Gentlemen's civility.

Incumbent Tommy Slaughter says he’s undecided about seeking another term, but is leaning that way. Parker, who is 61, won the seat in 2003 against Slaughter and then incumbent Mike Seidle.
