Virginia State Sen. Creigh Deeds critical, son dead after stabbing attack
« on: November 19, 2013, 12:26:44 PM »



Virginia state lawmaker and onetime candidate for governor Creigh Deeds suffered serious injuries after being stabbed in the head and upper torso several times inside his home Tuesday, police said.

Deeds, 55, was flown from his home in Bath County and is being treated at UVA Hospital in Charlottesville. The hospital says he is in critical condition.

Virginia State Police Public Relations Manager Corinne Geller said when authorities arrived at Deeds’ Millboro home, they also found his 24-year-old son, Gus, suffering injuries from a life-threatening gunshot wound. He later died at the scene, Geller said.

Virginia and national Democratic sources who spoke to Fox News cited Virginia law enforcement authorities as alleging that Gus Deeds stabbed his father before shooting himself.

Police say they are still searching for a motive, but they are not looking for any suspects at this point.

Geller said authorities responded to the home at 7:25 a.m. local time after receiving a 911 call, but she did not disclose the source of the call. The Virginia State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation's Salem Field Office is still investigating the scene.

Deeds, a former Bath County prosecutor, was elected to the House of Delegates in 1991 and to the state Senate in 2001, in a special election after the death of Emily Couric.

They'd done an emergency psych hold on him Monday but he was released for lack of bed space.

"Liberalism is an essentially feminine, submissive world view. Perhaps a better adjective than feminine is infantile. It is the world view of men who do not have the moral toughness, the spiritual strength to stand up and do single combat with life, who cannot adjust to the reality that the world is not a huge, pink-and-blue, padded nursery in which the lions lie down with the lambs and everyone lives happily ever after."

No beds available you say ????

So why not place him in a jail cell until one could be found.?  just for HIS and his family's protection.

When things get so bad someone has to be admitted against their will for a mental health exam, this is not the time to be sending them home or out into the public. The Police do put drunks in jail for their own protection, one would think that with an emergency admittance unless the family made the decision to bring him home--------for reasons of reputation or whatever, few Doctors would just turn him loose.

God Bless the young mans family, I cannot help but wonder just how long this man had been acting up, acting odd or if he had in the past given any sign that he could be dangerous.

Has this State Sen. no medical insurance that covers mental health for his family ??  There are plenty of private hospitals in VA. that will find a bed for the disturbed if one is willing to pay or has insurance to pay the $800.00 a DAY in some cases and will find a bed come hell or high water.

In some states you can't even force crazy people into a mental institution....Sandy Hook school shooting anyone?

According to my friend the psych nurse, the majority of mental hospitals have closed down wings and floors leaving only a few floors to treat the mentally ill due to the lack of funding.  As a result of to nature of the illness, most mentally ill do not have insurance and require state assistance.

As for Creigh Deeds son being released, he finds it odd that he was let loose unless a mental health official deemed him healthy enough to release.  SOP is to hold them in the ER until a bed comes available.  Depending upon the type of mental illness, they cannot be released for 72 or 24 hours.
