Dylan Nolan is without a doubt, FitNews’ best writer! This is very disappointing about Senator Tom Davis, someone I thought to be somewhat conservative. Sadly, our coastal area, which is becoming increasingly populated with rich, northern (and elsewhere) people from liberal states, frequently vote for liberal politicians and policies. A friend who lives in Pawleys Island frequently laments how the rich Yankee influx into the area is driving up the cost of everything, be it real estate or be it groceries. Not only that, their driving is terrible.
I hope that South Carolina never legalizes any form of traffic enforcement cameras. Ditto, the pro-addict industry.
Thanks again, for another great article, Mr Nolan!
Carpetbagger definition – An outsider who pretends to be an insider is a carpetbagger; he’s a person who tries to take advantage of a group by joining it only for his personal benefit. Northerners who moved south during Reconstruction in the 1860s and 70s were the original carpetbaggers, named for their suitcases.
I can shorten that definition. Carpetbagger – Donald J. Trump
Not sure how a story about your reckless driving and how stupid and dysfunctional public employees in SC are equates to South Carolina turning into California somehow? (Another old conservative trope)

Hilarious how the Biden/Kamala tards are just as dumb as the Trumptards. The Trumptards think if you do not bow to Trump, you must be a Biden or Kamala supporter. The Biden/Kamalatards think if you don’t support liberal stupidity, then you are necessarily a Trumptard.
Consider this–your problem was caused because you had an expectation that the punishment for your admitted crime should be less than that offered by statute–that the actual law shouldn’t apply to you. You asked for an exception, and someone distorted the record to do you a favor. (I wonder if a FOIA request would turn up both tickets, or if the one that accurately recorded your violation would just “disappear”.) When they failed in completing the whitewash, they became part of the failed bureaucracy. Thankfully, because you are a well-connected insider, you were able to find someone to strongarm the process in your favor, kind of like people who hire a lawyer legislator.
You see, the supposed righteous among us play the games, too. If it gets taken to a higher level, FITS will call you out. If you’re a public official, they’ll do a whole series of articles, and the next thing you know, you “embattled”.
Don’t worry the legislature has done one better right under our noses. They allow private companies to monitor people released on bail with electronic monitoring. Doesn’t sound bad until you dig into the fact that they have also ceded the authority to enforce the conditions of the bail including the authority to obtain arrest warrants when they violate the conditions. Still not sounding bad? The problem is that they rarely if ever enforce the conditions because the people on bail are paying them weekly for the equipment and monitoring. They simply don’t report the violations because they will lose money. This policy has resulted in the deaths of several at the hands people out on bond when the monitoring company failed to notify law enforcement in a timely manner that the person on bond had violated a “red zone” at their original victims residence.
To top that the legislature now allows judges to sentence people to home incarceration/electronic monitoring instead of sending them to jail. They aren’t too worried about the safety of the public or they would build more prisons and elect judges would hand down appropriate sentences.
I could go on with many other thing they have done in the not to distant past that made our state less safe but I don’t have enough room.
One last thing , look into the legislators who sponsored the raise the age bill that raised the age of a juvenile from 17 to 18. Doesn’t sound bad until you realize that the entire state has experienced an explosion of juvenile violent crime since they did this. The reason, because unlike before, 16 year olds aren’t automatically charged as adults for Murder, rape, armed robbery etc and their fate is left to the whim of liberal family court judges who think all juveniles are misunderstood little angels

Thanks, Mom!
Funny! Nope. Not his mom. Not his dad. No relation. If he were my son, I would be proud of his skill as a writer and reporter.
BTW, I forgot to put my name on here so it posted me as “Anonymous”.
Good one, Mom! Your getting better at using the computer!
“New residents are terrible drivers!”
“We don’t need any more traffic enforcement”
Red light cameras are garbage, needle exchanges are fine.
Though Davis has been in SC for more than forty or his 64 years he’s still a carpet bagger and needs to go. He’s a RINO through and through.
Yep!

lol
Don’t worry. SC will never be an economic power house that doesen’t rely on other States’ taxpayers to keep it afloat.
SC is another Mississippi. Poor, uneducated, disease ridden and crime ridden. SC has higher rates of homicide, rape and aggravated assault already.
So, don’t worry. SC will never be like California, kid.
Agree with Dylan Nolan all the way vis-a-vis Senator Tom Davis.

You MAGA types are weird and confused, for sure.

Lord help us!
Mom, your embarrassing me!
Trump is a genius business man who will run our county like his many successful businesses.
Also, can I get a ride to Dave and Busters? For some reason, my driver lines is no good?????
