Today marks the four year anniversary of Hampton County being hit by one of the worst Tornadoes SC have ever witnessed. We lost 5 citizens, three being from one family and two farm workers. Let’s continue to pray for and with the families.
Thanks to all that came to our rescue.
I stand with you 100 % on this Senator it’s way past due, we are 1 of 4 states,that don’t have a hate crime on race. It’s clearly still a issue in some folk’s mind. Thank you for your leadership. If it can be proven it was race motivated it should be considered in the sentencing.
South Carolina does not have a #HateCrime law.
That’s inexcusable.
Here’s a short clip of me talking about this on the SC Senate floor with my friend and colleague Sen. Darrell Jackson @dj1one.
It’s a tough look to see a second lockdown only a day after some Republican leaders mocked UNC students who were protesting at the legislature demanding action on common sense gun reform. Instead of turning your backs, how about actually listening to them?
Statement of Charleston Mayor John Tecklenburg on the Tragic Death of Police Chief Luther Reynolds
Today, Charleston Mayor John Tecklenburg released the following statement on the tragic death of Police Chief Luther Reynolds after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Chief Reynolds, 56, passed away peacefully in an area hospice facility at 8:10 p.m., with his wife, Caroline, and his two children, Luke and Grace, by his side.
"Tonight, Charleston has lost not just a great police chief, but one of the finest human beings that many of us will ever know. Luther Reynolds was a modern man of ancient virtues: faith, honor, courage, duty. But most of all, and at his very core, Luther was a man of love. He loved his family, his friends, his life. He loved this city and the brave men and women who keep it safe. He loved God, and in faithful service, he loved his neighbor. Over the coming days, we will mourn Luther Reynolds, for we loved him as much as he loved us. But even today, as our hearts are breaking, we can take solace in knowing that with Luther's final journey now complete, his weary days of pain have passed, and his timeless days of peace have just begun." –Charleston Mayor John Tecklenburg
