I like when they come to a stop and it all falls on their windshield. Even better when they have to get out and fix it. Don't be so lazy and this wouldn't happen.

I think it's pretty easily the most liberal AND diverse portion of the state.

I think if you spent time in the NEK, Rutland area, or Southern Vermont, you'd probably have a pretty good idea what I'm speaking on.

I see more confederate flags in Southern VT than I saw in Tennessee. During the BLM protests, we ended up getting into it with some of these D-Bags in the Rutland area. I also teach in SVT and have had students of color face racism in a number of forms and have gone toe to toe with the idiot white nationalist in Bennington. I went to a small college in Rutland and saw my friends get accused of "dealing drugs," because black folks "couldn't/didn't live in this area if they weren't dealing." We had the same "N word" situation at a soccer team, but the principal of the school in the Rutland Area basically told them there wasn't enough evidence to do anything.

This is just what I've seen as a white dude who transplanted here in like '07. That event in S. Burlington was terrible, but I think the school system did a pretty decent job at handling it. They can always improve, but they've been actually policing these things.

Sounds like you either haven’t found Jaysus(tm) or are afraid to succeed! LOL. Yeah all that brain leakage on public settings is a mixed blessing- you know who they are but then the horror of realizing it’s the tip of the iceberg sets in, like the memes you see are what passes muster. Thankfully, plenty of business people know to angle for 100% of the business not just 50%!
