This has nothing to do with crime, it’s about the Cambridge elites and Bloomberg getting the camel’s nose under the tent. Look at “civil unions”, we all said it was “gay marriage” when it happened, no, no, no, they said, it’s about “fairness”. It’s all about the Harvard intellectuals and setting a precedent that can eventually sweep across the country. Vermont is an easy mark, stupid citizen legislature and a populace more concerned about putting food on the table than following politics, a perfect recipe for legislative hi-jinks.
When a liberal says “fairness”, that really means an attack on everyone’s freedom.
