A group of armed vigilantes cut down a tree and dragged it across a man’s driveway in Maine to force him to quarantine in his home amid fears he could be infected with the coronavirus, officials said.

A man residing on Cripple Creek Road in Vinalhaven, an island off the coast of Maine, called authorities around 3:35 p.m. Friday to report a group of people with guns had cut down a large tree and dragged it in front of his driveway, blocking access to the main road.

The man said he left his house to check his property when he noticed the cable went out. The unidentified man said he retreated to his home and hailed the Coast Guard for help using a VHF radio after a neighbor began yelling at him to get indoors and remain quarantined.

The best thing in this world when SHTF is a mountain bike

I’ve often said not only can’t you catch me on my mountain bike - if you were to really try to catch me you’d have to have multiple agents and helicopters try to track me down

there’s no way you could do it

In fact I’ve been mountain biking on illegal wilderness areas had helicopters trying to chase me and every time they would pass over I would just stash me in the bike under a bush until they go by and eventually they would just give up

Those damn helicopters make a lot of noise you can hear them come in for miles away

It begins.

It's not these folks in Vinalhaven are stumped for what to do. Hopefully is was a white pine.

I would have a pile of dead neighbors and strangers if rhey pulled this shiite on me.

This is exactly how the show The Walking Dead said it will start. Just think what they will be like after another 30 days.

[Secret Agent Man]

That works now for you.

The day they coordinate with ground units of various kinds and drones will be different.

They will be different times then though.

Gonna see people start vandalizing cars with out-of-state license plates.

Should be interesting in Kansas, since seemingly half the people in this state tag their vehicles in other states to evade personal property tax.

Pulling this stunt in Maine where most are disarmed is one thing - doing it here in Texas would likely get the would-be vigilantes killed in a hail of semi-auto rifle fire.

What makes you think Maine people don’t own guns? Big hunting state.

Island life in Maine is unique.

"Monsters are due..."

You went over everyone's head with the Twilight Zone reference.

[Tudorfly]

Mainers are not disarmed. You are mistaken.
