Federally prohibited from possessing guns…just let the feds handle this instead of the lame-arse Vermont prosecutors who are obsessed with “root causes”.
JUST ANOTHER DAY AT THE VERMONT ZOO.
63 years old, and still not a productive bone in his body. Catch & Release is for fishes. He should have been locked up decades ago and prison work programs reinstated – the highways look like cr**.
Send him to Mississippi or Louisiana, they already have the programs in place….
If Vermont and other bastions of Marxist ideology are so obsessed with controlling and confiscating our firearms, it would only stand to reason that the penalties enforced against those who are federally and statutorily prohibited from possessing firearms—and using them to commit felonies—should be severe and substantial.
Those criminals are the ones to crack down on, not law-abiding citizens lawfully exercising our Second Amendment rights.
We dont have their full story yet…I mean their victimhood portfolio, since it’s all about root causes.
Suspect federally prohibited from possessing guns. I thought gun control laws were to stop this.
Yes and the governor and the legislature thinks law abiding people are the problem. Well, he voted for Joe and Kamala so his judgement is a bit faulty. How long will it take for these anti-constitution legislators to realize that criminals don’t follow their unconstitutional laws? Vermont existed since 1791 until 2018 without carpetbaggers gun laws. How did we make it without their nanny state BS? Gun control is about people control except criminals don’t follow the laws. Each and every criminal arrested in Vermont with prior felonies has a gun or guns. Gun control does not work!
Scary Barre – hard to bury that moniker with headlines and police blotters show exactly what is going on here every single day. It would stop and it could stop if our leadership exercised their sworn duty to protect our community. Why not declare a public safety emergency? Why not engage all law enforement and State resources to address an obvious threat to our community and lives? The Feds are all over the State. Why is our State Police and local police throttled and gagged – threatened with disciplinary action for doing their jobs? When they do their jobs – the judiciary shrugs and punts. It is disgusting and abhorrent how Barre has declined into a shell of it’s former economically viable, livable city. Not only Barre, but definately one of the worst of the worst in Vermont.
In Barre, the only policy that matters is how to tax and fee residents into systemic poverty and hopelessness. Drive through Barre City – notice how seedy, yet politically correct North Main Street is as drug addicts and homeless people shuffle to and fro. Notice the appropriate flags and current politcal virtue signaling prominently displayed among all the misery and near empty sidewalks. Watch how once busy traffic lines are broken into long periods of nearly no traffic at all. Traffic means commerce – over the past few years, it is very noticible that there is no business worth stopping for or going to town for – people are going somewhere else or too broke to go anywhere. A reflection on our leadership – which is no leadership at all.
Excellent appraisal of the present Barre City. Born and raised in a once thriving North End, I shudder every time I drive through my old neighborhood and up North Main Street. I counted over 30 empty stores and establishments which were visible on Main Street alone…the people who traverse the sidewalks no longer have the vibrant and purposeful gaits Barre residents had…Melissa described it so well- there is decay everywhere, both physical and spiritual…you can see and feel it. Bless the remnant who are working hard to end the eyesore that Barre has become…there is a lot of effort needed to right the ship and bring us back on course.
