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.

I see people walking around Maine woods with fire arms all the time. Same in Vermont.

Played Bob Dylan’s Desire LP and about to flip over Quincy Jones Walking in Space.

No TV, just bike rides, projects around the house, brewing a fresh pot of dark roast coffee and playing my albums while the wind howls outside.

I’m kinda liking this staying at home stuff.

there’s no way you could do it

Thermal sights aren't that uncommon any more.

My dad shot down “fool killer” hanging branches from a safe distance, many times.

It can be done.

“Somebody’s gonna end up dead or kilt before this is over.”

Oh, I’d say that is a given.

“This country has gone barking mad.”

I’m afraid you’re probably right.

“Pulling this stunt in Maine where most are disarmed...”
________________________________________________________

You certainly don’t know much about Maine.

People in Maine are VERY heavily armed....Maine is one of the biggest Second Amendment / gun owning states in the country. Maine is also the safest state in regards to crime statistics.

Unlike Texas, Maine is a Constitutional Carry state....no permit required. Also Open Carry.

Constitutional Carry passed the DEMOCRAT controlled Maine House in 2015. Then the Republican Senate. Our then governor....conservative Paul LePage....held up the bill because it allowed only those 21 or older to carry without a permit. His complaint was, “What about members of the military under the age of 21?” Changes were made to accommodate the governor’s concerns.

In 2016, Michael Bloomturd managed to get enough signatures for a ballot measure to ban the private sales of guns in Maine. It was on the November 2016 ballot, and some of the police chiefs in Maine did TV ads...in uniform....in favor of Bloomturd’s measure.

The elected sheriff’s of Maine also did TV spots....in uniform....opposed to Bloomturd’s measure.

Election night 2016....Trump won Maine’s 2nd Congressional District....80% of Maine’s land mass.... by 10 points for one electoral vote. Bloomturd’s gun grabbing measure was rejected by the Maine people.

The local news said the guys cutting down the trees WERE armed, and that they were from out of state. It’s a weird story that hasn’t had much local coverage.
