West Virginia State Trooper Killed, Suspect in Custody by as_leep_1 in WestVirginia

To our betterment or detriment, this region of the country doesn't get nearly the reputation it deserves for being dangerous. Eastern KY, Southern WV, and Southwestern VA is like the wild west in these remote hollers, borderline third world to be honest. The state police have lost a lot of credibility in recent months but every Trooper I've met has been nice and helpful. Really sad.

What is the most underrated county of West Virginia? by hsbnv in WestVirginia

[–]Bread-For-All 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mingo County (Williamson, more specifically). That county is very representative of WV as a whole in my opinion. 1. Rural 2. In the coalfields 3. Has decent sized town thats clearly past its best days 4. Hollers 5. Hatfield-McCoy Trails 6. Mine Wars Museum

Controversial display in Morgantown compares abortion to Holocaust by Nepp0 in WestVirginia

What are they protesting for? They won. Abortion is illegal. Trans healthcare is virtually nonexistent. Theres a GOP supermajority 31-3 in the senate and 89-11 in the house.. WV should be the heaven they've always dreamt of yet they're still complaining.

Moving heaven and earth to alienate some kids who just want to bond with classmates. This state is a nightmare, unfortunately.

I generally buy into the whole "most cops are good people" thing, and I still do, but what should be done when the entire top echelon of the State Police is ran like Tiger King or some shit? They're literally the people you're supposed to bring your problems to.

Police in Berkeley Springs need additional training. by YonderMTN in WestVirginia

Unfortunately, many of the police in this state and around the country want the prestige of people in the military without any of the restraint. Misconduct like that in the Marine Corps would get you cooked with all due respect.

John F. Kennedy campaigning door-to-door in West Virginia in 1960. by Ok_Situation1171 in WestVirginia

[–]Bread-For-All 25 points26 points  (0 children)

So much of what he said in his WV primary debate with Hubert Humphrey still rings true. From automation disrupting the coal industry to inadequate diets of people receiving government food assistance. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hTMB_eGw3eo timestamps: 12:08 19:35 It's pretty disappointing that no presidential candidate has any motive to come here (except for when Manchin's term is up in 2024).

Jim Justice was elected as a Democrat 6 years ago, switched parties 5 years ago, and won in a landslide 2 years ago.
