Robert LaMay famously quit his job with a bitter videotaped sign-off directed at Gov. Jay Islee over his strict COVID vaccine mandates.

Washington State Trooper Robert LaMay, who grabbed headlines when he blew up at Gov. Jay Inslee (D) over vaccine mandates last year, has died of COVID-19, KIRO news radio reported Friday.
He was 50.
LaMay published a video he recorded on his last day in which he said, Jay Inslee can kiss my ass.
LaMay started his career in 1999, and worked all over the state. He retired last October instead of getting vaccinated.
We dont do vaccines, he told Fox News in an interview last year after he quit, referring to himself and his family. We dont do flu shots or any of that stuff.

I would if I were him. The note would be a tough one to write. "Sorry for your completely predictable and preventable loss". No, probably not. "His straightforward nature and creativity will be missed by many". Mmmm, maybe. Thankfully the governor has writers on staff!

Which rarely ends well, and didn't here.

It is one thing to take your convictions to the grave, it is quite another when your convictions take you to the grave.
