The mayor of Lexington, Virginia’s call to stand against government abuses earned him permanent bans on many networks throughout America and beyond. But the Virginia Defense Force escorted him back to the ruins of downtown Lexington and secured the town from further attacks. Most of the other towns and counties in the Shenandoah Valley declared their allegiance with Lexington by the end of the day. By the next day, most of western Virginia had rallied to the mayor’s call. By the end of the week, so had most of central Virginia. The majority of the Virginia Defense Force and Virginia National Guard also answered the call, leaving eastern Virginia behind to take up station in the western and central regions of Virginia that no longer followed the rule of Richmond. The message was clear. Over half of Virginia now stood against Richmond, and only force would bring them to heel.

The mayor of Lexington took a bullet during the final firefight to rescue him and his family from the Federal law enforcement officers that had taken them from Lexington, Virginia. The Virginia Defense Force secured them and the surviving Lexington police department tended to the many wounds the mayor and his family suffered during the long ordeal. And when the mayor conducted his press conference an hour later, their injuries were visible for all to see. They were mostly scratches and bumps and bruises, but the mayor’s arm hung in a sling, and the bullet hole and bloodstains in his suit told that tale without words. His words were simple. The Federal government had burned his city, killed his people, and kidnapped his family because they had dared to protest against government abuses. He said that the time for protest was over. It was time to stand up to their abusers.

The Vaccine

For a number of reasons, I chose to get the vaccine for the Big C. I’m an essential worker, my mom has many co-morbidities, and I’m asthmatic. So I really do not want to get the Big C. I scheduled an appointment to get it a couple Wednesdays ago, and the day I showed up they were stocked up on the J&J vaccine. Yes, the one-shot vaccine that is now on hold because six people got blood clots after taking it. I was one of the 40% who got side effects. In fact, I got ALL of the side effects. On Wednesday night, while at work. And I got one of the really bad ones as well. I went short of breath. Of course, I am asthmatic, so I’m used to being short of breath. And now I have an inhaler for that, so a couple hits later, I was breathing normally again. And after a couple hours of total side effect time, I was back online and fully operational. So I’m vaccinated and alive. Woohoo.

Fighting in the Rockfish Gap came to a momentary end after the air battle concluded. Ruined aircraft raining down all over the landscape was a sobering moment for all involved. The Federal law enforcement officers had left the Commonwealth officers to slow down their western brethren alone. That was more than the Richmond-aligned Virginians wanted to do, and they quickly negotiated a withdrawal from the gap. The Virginia Defense Force and the Lexington Police accepted that withdrawal and continued their pursuit of the Federal officers holding Lexington’s mayor and his family. They caught the Feds less than ten miles outside the gap, and this time there was no one in range to support them. The fight was quick, bloody, and decisive.

The United States Air Force shooting down Virginian fighters enflamed the fighting in and around the Rockfish Gap. Their air strikes against other Virginians did far more. The Virginia Air National Guard that had remained neutral until that point quickly launched with orders to clear the skies of Virginia’s enemies. Those were not Richmond’s orders, but fewer and fewer Virginians outside the eastern counties still listened to Richmond. The aerial combat proved swift, deadly, and decisive, and Virginians quickly took control of Virginia airspace again. It was a sobering moment for everyone involved in the fighting in the Rockfish Gap.
