“Rights & Democracy VT”, the Burlington City Council, George Soros’ $, Sarah George & the VT legislators all deserve gratitude for the “diversity” they have effectively ushered into the Green Mountain State.
Despite this grand achievement – for what must be completely unrelated reasons, our state is no longer the safest, crime is rampant, Real Estate values are beginning to decline, police are understaffed, businesses are closing up, and tourism is decreasing in many areas. And what more do they wish now? Why, MORE low-income housing, but of course!!!!!!!!!!
As always: The democrat “progressives” are successful! Successful in their quest to create fear, chaos, poverty, additional addiction, & reliance upon government (which is designed to be OF the people, BY the people, & FOR the people) all in an attempt to implement socialism.
But as a DIRECT result of a biased media that censors, lies through omission & propagandizes on behalf of the DNC – as well as a public that remains largely uninformed and/or apathetic —- this lunacy reigns!!!!
Luckily for the regressive far left politicians they have successfully brainwashed unthinking Vermonters into constantly voting against their own best interests.
I wonder if any if these men were tested for drug s??
Start to impound the cars and this may stop.
Think of the imminent danger to the innocent, especially children from these speed monsters…instead of a kiss on the wrists for these demonics…suspend licenses for years…they are the lurking potential murderers running amok on our highways…where are you, pansied legislators…take a stand!
smiling and smug mugshots are repulsive…especially in the reality they will soon be behind the wheel within days…
Need harder sanctions for this stuff. Jail time. More than a year. In addition to permanent loss of license. And large fine.
Does anyone else notice – I see some seriously dangerous bonehead maneuvers on the road in recent months. Not only involving excessive speeding, but running through red lights, stop signs, unsignalled abrupt turns, etc. I hear many complaining in other places seeing similar things…it’s getting pretty dangerous just to trek to the local store and back.
Like everything in the VT justice system, this is a slap on the wrist. Until criminals who put others in danger start being punished accordingly, nothing will change.
