Martinsville: Still at a Crossroads
Martinsville: Still at a Crossroads | Reporter-Times.comIn 2001, shortly after Sept. 11, the second in command of Martinsville’s police force, assistant chief Dennis Nail, wrote a letter racially insensitive letter to the Reporter-Times. His words, in reality, were a clumsy and absurdly ignorant expression of hostility toward non-Christians and non-whites. That same public statement included another clumsy expression of hostility toward homosexuals - a group of people who, like any others, drive cars and could easily find themselves in Martinsville with flashing lights behind them. It was a warning: Get out of my country; stay out of my town.
