We know.....capitalism in a tourist state etc etc.

There's things we could do and adapt but when it comes down to it even Vermonters who claim their families have been here for generations and being pushed out are part of the problem. By not supporting anything that could help...

Now when It comes to low income families just wanting food and a place their family can shelter that's a real issue. But even natives only care about the image of their town and not much for the poor families actually suffering.

Something has to be done but I think we're still very divielded on what that should be.

I just had it on regular photo and it did something with a kind of timer on its own. All I did was press the button to take the picture. I just looked it up, and it looks like this explanation is how it happened. Sorry if this is confusing :(

“The Night mode (moon) icon appears at the top of the Camera app when you shoot in low light. If the Night mode icon is white, tap it to activate Night mode. If the icon is yellow, Night mode is already switched on.”

Is this supposed to be a shit post or what? Pretty bad one if so.

I have 4 neighbors, we all look out for each other. We had a break in two years ago and the whole road was on high alert for months afterward. Ended up catching a dude stealing our parcel locker with a trail camera!

One time our neighbor went out of town and told us to keep an eye on their house, but failed to mention to us that the OTHER neighbor would be feeding their fish or cat or something like that. First we called the neighbor and asked... could there be ANYONE in your house? No nobody should be in our house.

So yes we did call the VSP. Then had to do the whole NEVERMIND thing.

Well if someone is breaking into your home - you should never shoot first, make your presence known, and be armed. Whether it be a firearm or a baseball bat, do not engage the home invader without having some sort of assurance. it's best to call the police first and then try to get an idea of what's going on.

under no circumstances should any of us just take a home invasion lightly. these are real legit crimes and I do not care how disenfranchised a person is. they hungry? - steal from a grocery store or do the lawful thing and go to a food shelf. Need drugs? steal from a fucking dept store, not a persons' home.

> Why would you shoot them?

why invade my home? why steal my things? why incite fear in the hearts of two PoC's?

I refuse to let anyone break into my home and rummage through my family's things as if they are their own. We moved away from burlington to expressly avoid these incursions. There is no level of sympathy for those who break through locked doors and shuttered windows for their own gain, the only exception being that of a family member or someone mentally disabled.

I don't shoot first, but I am going to ask questions with a weapon drawn.
