We’re working to get more information from the city’s police department about what’s happening in the city at this hour.
The latest round of destruction comes a day after city police chief Brian Layton took a knee with protestors who gathered at Market Square.
“Our message is clear: We support peaceful protesters. We do not support the agitators who are showing up to peaceful protests & hijacking them w/ intent to cause chaos. We will not let agitators take away from law-abiding protesters who wish to be heard.” #FXBG PD Chief Layton pic.twitter.com/1habGKTQ8z

After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”
Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
