The Board of Supervisors in Patrick County declined to pull funding from the JEB Stuart volunteer rescue squad, but it did pass a motion stating the county condemns acts of hate and white supremacy.
This comes after the entire country now knows a part-time paid emergency medical technician in the county frequently co-hosts a podcast, the Daily Shoah, that routinely makes racist jokes and pro-white comments. The community is small, so board meetings are held in the courtroom, and the session felt more like a trial than a local government meeting. Only after the EMT in question, Alex McNabb, and the board chair got into an all-out shouting match did this end.
"You shut up, I've got the floor."
This was how Chairman Lock Boyce responded after being told by the accused white supremacist to shut up -- and it was the loudest outburst of what became a nearly five-minute screaming match between the two.
