A Virginia armed government worker has resigned after a murder investigation of the AGW’s brother turned up some unhealthy texts.
Virginia State Police began an internal investigation into Jacob Gooch after the texts surfaced during a homicide investigation in Arizona. Gooch’s brother, Mark Gooch, is charged in the killing of Sasha Krause, a Sunday school teacher who disappeared from a Mennonite community in New Mexico earlier this year.
In one text exchange in mid-April, Jacob Gooch told Mark and another brother that he gave a Mennonite man a ticket and coughed on him “so he would spread Corona to the wedding they were going too. lol.”
Apparently, knowing the difference between “too” and “to” isn’t something AGWs know, either.
Virginia State Police spokeswoman Corinne Geller said the text exchange was part of an internal investigation into Jacob Gooch.
Gooch, 30, graduated from the State Police Training Academy in October and was assigned as a patrol trooper in Northern Virginia.
Mark Gooch, a 21-year-old U.S. Air Force airman stationed near Phoenix, has pleaded not guilty to murder and other charges. Raised in a Mennonite family in Wisconsin, Mark Gooch joined the military to escape what he told investigators was a difficult, sheltered and restricted life, according to sheriff’s records obtained by The Associated Press.
One of his brothers told investigators Mark Gooch holds a grudge against the Mennonite community over perceived mistreatment.

Reading this left me a bit confused. On one hand I might laud vengence upon a projection of ownership of an individual by a community, yet it is only judged by another norm that is just as arbitrary and just as much a mob.
max, better watch saying things like that in public. Send me some money and I won’t out you for doing it online but you’ll have it extracted at the barrel of a gun saying same in public. The difference is, I can’t enforce my will but I wonder how long that’s going to last.
Silicon Valley will soon, I fear, stop any type-think they don’t like. Get a bill along with your internet bill and while the internet bill unpaid will just have you looking for another connection. I keep having scenes from The Matrix run through my mind. Don’t tell anyone but I think I took the red pill when I was about 8 years old.
Good to know they’re still hiring 21 year olds for a mature person’s job….er, a man’s job. Now we have a child in a man’s body wanting to pay everyone back for not having a pac man game, a loss he’ll never get beyond. Karen and Ken in a trooper car unaccompanied. I bet I look just like the old man who told everyone those video games were evil incarnate and deprived him of a happy childhood. Now THAT’s a good reason to stay home. Nobody needs to warn me of that particular danger.
I have to wonder when wearing a mask to commit a crime will go back to being a crime again. You can’t tell me beating and killing people are fine if you wear a mask. They’d never do it to not be identified…..just look at all the recent videos of them. This is a “real” threat to humanity, unlike the supposed covid danger. And it too is a real threat as long as it remains as a tool to render the Constitution null and void.
Oh jeez, we should have known this was gonna happen next: “Why should we want more women in policing? There is a body of research showing there are benefits associated with a female style of policing,” says Ivonne Roman in an editorial today.
No doubt the distaff style of policing is different. But unavoidably at times, sheer brawn is needed. Like the night I saw a [male] NYC transit cop single-handedly wrestle down an angel-dusted freak who was slamming the walls with a motorcycle chain while screaming abuse at those nearby. A touchy-feely approach doesn’t go far with the crazed and deranged.
And of course, should one suffer the dire misfortune of being accused of domestic violence, naturally female cops are going to be the soul of objectivity in arbitrating a hetero lovers’ spat. (yeah, right!)
Meet Karen, your new AGW …
I am just wondering if the instructional materials they use at that “State Police Training Academy” are printed on drool-proof paper?
