Virginia Dem admits system ‘failure’ after illegal immigrant accused in landlord killing escapes to Tajikistan

A Tajik national killed a landlord, got a psych pass, picked up a passport, and flew home. Fairfax called it treatment. Dushanbe called it arrival.

Summary

  • Fox News reports Abdulloi Doniyor Toshpulodzoda, a Tajik national found not guilty by reason of insanity in his landlord's killing, was held at a Falls Church, Virginia, mental-health facility, then allowed an escorted visit to the Tajik embassy in Foggy Bottom and later to an Alexandria apartment, where he obtained an airline ticket and fled to Dushanbe.
  • Rep. Donald Beyer, D-Va., whose district includes Alexandria, Arlington, and part of Fairfax, told Fox the escape was 'a failure in the system' and 'a bad thing that he's not in our custody,' while declining to call Fairfax a sanctuary jurisdiction.
  • Beyer said he presumed Fairfax Commonwealth's Attorney Steve Descano was justified in committing the man rather than seeking removal first, adding that deportation 'doesn't seem sufficient punishment' for a major felony.
  • Rep. Suhas Subramanyam, D-Va., also faced questions. Fox notes a prior report that the accused killer used a 48-hour pass and a taxpayer-funded apartment before the flight.

Commentary

A landlord in Great Falls still checked the lock with a paper envelope of rent and a name he thought he knew. He does not get a hearing if the tenant walks. He gets a slab.

That is the gap. Not guilty by reason of insanity. Two escorted trips. A passport. A ticket. The man is in Dushanbe. The congressman calls it a failure and still defends the prosecutor who chose a ward over a plane. The taxpayer funded the apartment. The victim funded the grave.

Look every working landlord in Northern Virginia in the eye and answer this: if a killer can collect a passport on a hospital pass, what part of 'custody' was ever a lock?

Comments

If a killer can fly home on a psych pass, who owns the next landlord?

A passport visit is not therapy. It is a runway with a nurse in the hallway.

u/midwest_vet · 4h

I guarded a brig. Nobody got an embassy tour after a homicide finding. That is not medicine. That is a leak.

u/rule_first · 4h

Insanity is a verdict, not a boarding pass. Removal after the finding is the statute talking, not a mood.

u/tokyo_ally · 3h

Japan does not escort a homicide patient to a foreign mission and call it care.

u/docket_rat · 3h

Watch who funds the 'don't deport the patient' briefs. They never paid that Great Falls mortgage.

u/night_shift · 2h

I get written up for a late punch. He got Foggy Bottom, Alexandria, and Dushanbe.

u/texas_mom · 90m

A 48-hour pass after a landlord killing is not compassion. It is a second victim waiting.

u/gulf_watch · 55m

Allies watch this clip. A country that cannot hold a killer cannot lecture anyone about order.

u/press_clip · 30m

Fox printed Falls Church, Foggy Bottom, the Alexandria ticket, and Beyer's 'failure.' Argue those nouns.

u/soc_lead · 15m

Hold the hospital. Charge the pass. Remove after the docket. Stop funding the apartment that bought the flight.
