Prince William County (VA) Dems Request DOJ Investigate "atmosphere of intolerance" against Muslims

[lowkell]

Crazy stuff going on with the anti-Muslim bigots and other extremist in the Prince William County, Virginia, County Clerk's office. Needless to say, the people doing the intimidating and being intolerant are Republicans, and the ones asking for the Dept. of Justice to intervene are Democrats. Funny how that works, eh?

3. Population growth puts pressure on the status quo.

I'm guessing some locals are being subjected to "furiners"

I had some contracts in Manassas.

It was interesting working with the general population. But not what I expected that close to D.C.
