Larry "pass the dumb keg" Lockman seems to have imbibed a bit too much.

I lived in Lamoille county for 30 years. I'm a hardcore leftist and at the Garfield range nobody gives me s*** cuz they're all working class folk and we love talking guns!

Vermont is prettier than maine cuz it preserves that pastoral look. All the nooks and crannies on dirt roads. But I love it here in Maine and the oceans a bonus!

Stop shovel abuse.

No one paid attention to Larry Littlenuts unless he said something truly vile. Has no good purpose on this Earth.

politics aside, Hicks the sticks would be in good company from any of those States:)

Well, he's just askin' (for it) . I'd like to see him get beat down by a woman ;) maybe even bent ova!

Unfortunately you can't reason with someone so allegedly unreasonable

Super friendly lil birds.

That's what we call them too. They'll easily come pick peanuts from your hand. They like people for some reason.

Do you not understand that it's generally desirable to be accepted as a member of the community in which you live?

my thoughts on this asshole are akin to this meme:

I left the state partially because of this miserable attitude. My drunk neighbor held a knife to my neck and told me if he killed me he wouldn’t be convicted because I was “a fa**ot from Massachusetts.” My last time in Blue Hill I went to a bar and ate a quiet meal and had a couple beers. The bartender asked me where I was from. I said Central Mass, Worcester area. Called me the same slur and pitched a fit when I didn’t tip him. Fuck this attitude.

It's a thing in VT as well.

Ok wait a second, what the literal fuck did he say. If this is true, when is his term.coming up?

Ask him if this is an accurate quote. If he says yes, continue the conversation with questions about how violence is ok. If he says no, be prepared to state the sources of the quote and keep questioning until he gives a thorough explanation of how the quote was wrong.

If he stands by his statement, I don't know what the fuck to do, what a dick.

Being vile is at the core of Larry Lockman's being.

As a fellow gray jay lover with the same surname, I approve of this message.😍

Never experienced this anywhere until I came to Maine. Caring about where someone is born is such a foreign concept to me it took me a while to wrap my head around it.

It’s too late. He has sons.

This strain of ugly nativism goes back to the arrival of the Famine Irish and French Canadians in the 18th & 19th centuries. The Know-Nothing Party used the Catholicism of the refugees to stoke hatred and gain political power. It's disgusting to hear from the mouths of otherwise sensible people.

The excellent book Hard Times, Hard Men: Maine and the Irish 1830-1860 by James H Mundy is an excellent resource on both the history of the Irish in Maine and the history of how cynically the wealthy (often themselves transplants from Mass & points south) have instigated, fed, and used this nativism to divide the working class of Maine against itself, lowering wages and increasing repression to the detriment of everyone but the rich.

Yes! And if women, minorities and LGBTQA all vote together, we can get these people out. Why would you want anyone running the country who is working for their interests?

They have sawmills in California ---- hmmmm.

He went there to work in a sawmill 47 years ago…

We're actually #4, I think. Their list goes 1) trans folks, 2) tEh GaYz, 3) black folks, 4) women who aren't also covered by points 1-3. Notice how they absolutely did not stop with bathroom bills or sports bans, and are now coming after adults' private medical decisions. The same logic will be applied to everyone else in time.
