The 43rd Battalion in the 7th State

Sometimes they come back...

Sometimes they come back…

That Mosby woman. I’m impressed so far.

The 43rd Battalion, Virginia Cavalry, also known as Mosby’s Rangers, Mosby’s Raiders, or Mosby’s Men, was a battalion of partisan cavalry in the Confederate army during the American Civil War. Noted for their lightning strikes on Union targets and their ability to consistently elude pursuit, the Rangers disrupted Union communications and supply lines.

I don’t know if she’s right or wrong. What I do know is that she’s a fighter, an eloquent speaker, swift and keen as a hussar in full gallop, and the one person who has stepped up in this whole mess. Did she overcharge the accused? Maybe. But the way that young man died is not right.

We’ll see what happens from here. But the raiders have arrived and may yet head off the rabble in arms. Like every good commander, she had her battalion right behind her when she stated her mission. Police apologists had better be ready to stick their heads out of the trench. And ready to get those heads sliced off. Fair warning.

P.S. Am I the only conservative who’s been treated badly by cops? If so, I congratulate all of you whose innocence convinces you they can do no wrong even if they wash up at the end of the day with a dead man in tow. “Yeah, we found him like that.”
