  1. Average Ametican citizen asks, Are You Really that Dense, Brattleboro?
    Try this motto on for size: Go woke, go broke.

  2. The policies of the Commiecrats are catching up with Brattleboro just like every other Commiecrat run city in America.

  3. A canadian doctor interviewed for a position at Brattleboro Memorial Hospital. After the interview, he returned to his room at the Latchis Hotel and observed, through the window, a group of people shooting up in a local park. He packed up his family and returned to Canada.

    Between an axe murder by a perpetrator lured to Vermont by legal weed, restaurant workers returning to downtown apartments to find bullet holes in the wall next to their beds, gang bang murders, and the Retreat bringing in folks for 3-day addiction treatment programs (all their insurance will cover) only to be re-released back into the public sphere, now with no place to redeem their vouchers for camping equipment since Sam’s has closed, being the gateway to the Vermont drug market on I-91, and having replaced Rutland as #1 in per capita assaults, Brattleboro is reaping what the New Yorkers who arrived to make it their utopia have sewn.

    Nice job by Digger of ignoring the obvious.

  4. this is going on all over the country//// vermont is not some cave in the wilderness/// massive empty store fronts in every town and cities/// massive automobile repossessions/// massive mortgage foreclosures/// hyper inflation///

  5. Here are a few recent headlines that may offer clues about Brattleboro’s demise:
    “Former Brattleboro school employee charged with threatening staff, principal”
    “Brattleboro assault causes victim to be airlifted to Massachusetts hospital”
    “Brattleboro police investigate multiple vandalisms”
    “Brattleboro stabbing suspect arrested after standoff”
    “Brattleboro man dies following October assault”
    “Brattleboro Memorial Hospital patient allegedly threatened nurse, caused disturbance”

  6. Let’s see it’s probably not due to high crime and drugs or the high taxes, funding nonsense projects………………..It must be due to the weather from global warming !!!
