But holy fuck do the hillbillies never shut up about it...

You have.

Yeah, I got in a big argument with someone when I made the statement that "Crime is on the increase in Burlington"...

It's the dude from Down East Dickerin

Burlington had 93 cops before the defund movement took off with a maximum of 100. That number dropped down to 60 at one point, nothing you say can invalidate this. And of course they’re having a hard time hiring when no cash bail means people commit crimes even violent crimes and a right back out on the street within a day to commit more crimes including violent crimes. I’ve talked to some Burlington police about this and they’ve been candid about how it feels to arrest criminals who get released within hours and go commit more crimes. A lot of them do genuinely care about their job and the community beyond they can’t get anything done.

This guy is real, he goes by Mule

What you’re saying is extremely disingenuous, the Burlington murder rate was higher than the city of Los Angeles murder rate in 2021 adjusting for population. It’s like saying that big cities have way more total car thefts than Burlington when Burlington is quite competitive for number of car thefts adjusting to population.

Most were drugs, one was a murder suicide and the suicide doesn’t count toward the five murders last year.

What are the causes of this? Research each of the 5 homicides and see if there is a common thread. It doesn’t interest me, but I already have a hypothesis.

Depends. Most state parks in VT open Memorial Day Weekend. Mid to late June is a great time and if you are tent camping, sites should be plentiful. If you need a lean-to some of the more desirable parks fill up quickly.

It's always easiest to call the parks directly for last minute visits.

People started getting murdered.

Statistical anomaly until we have more data in the future.

What happened in 1960?

Refunding shows that the city council figured out they screwed up. The bonuses are because the people doing the job quit and said “fuck off” to the pricks who persecuted them as a group for the horrible actions of a couple cops in Minneapolis.

They quit, as is their right. They don’t have to come back for more money. The fact that Burlington isn’t getting tons of applicants given the pay they are offering gives insight into how cops view the leaders of the city.

Who wants to work for bosses who are openly hostile to their employees?

Beautiful baby! Congratulations!

A real VT god would be holding a can of Bud Lite and not some fancy-ass glass bottle of maple syrup. Just sayin’!

What does that have to do with it? Cops don't prevent murders.

New York City has something like 35,000 uniformed police officers and the city averages almost 2 murders every day.

Kinda surprised the AI didn't throw heroine in there somewhere.
