"Maybe some private vehicles should pay some tolls. Truckers bring us our food, clothes, cars and on and on, even our bed we sleep in, yet politicians seem to want to penalize them when they are just doing their jobs."
And we continue to hear from people about the Hallis Jamison case.
Another viewer from Botetourt (Jim Bullington/Troutville) wrote:
"We are supposed to be a nation of laws. Many times people are aggravated and threatened much worse than was the case here, and deadly force is not tolerated. This is the second life this man has taken and it is unacceptable that he be back in society again with a loaded rifle. Our laws are structured, supposedly, to protect you and me from him. Also, one has to wonder if the public reaction would be any different if the shooter had not been of the same ethnic group. That is not intended to be a racist statement, just a reflection of the times we live in."

This is what the same parade looked like today.
Performances ranged from folk dances to modern rock music.
And the holiday, originally reserved for the Irish community, has drawn a large gathering.
Today marked the tenth anual St. Patrick's Day Parade since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
