Vote Progressive. Gun shots almost daily. Defund the Police, and have the remaining Cops afraid to aggressively pursue serious Criminals. Especially the out of state Heroin importers of color. Let’s all show how weak we must appear. The word in the Southern States inner City Ghettos must be out. ‘Open season’ for Drug Dealing and Crime in the once peaceful Live and Let Live, Vermont. Good idea. Let’s try to hug and bong hit it away…
Vermont is made up primarily of decent people and was until recently able to avoid this kind of lowlife garbage that has plagued southern New England cities. Burlington welcomed it in and the garbage is spreading to it’s neighboring cities and towns.
Sorry if this sounds racist, but it is what it is…
