The previously unimaginable has happened: The storybook island of Martha’s Vineyard, the seasonal home of billionaires and hundreds of elite cultural and political movers and shakers, not to mention one of three year-round homes of the Obamas, has finally experienced that rarity previously limited to the mainland: violent gun crime. And surprise: The alleged perpetrators are not MAGA white nationalists. Rather, evidence so far points to migrants, possibly of the illegal kind.
This is a bitter pill for most Vineyard residents to swallow. The island’s six towns have all declared themselves to be sanctuary communities. Last September, the island rallied (a.k.a. virtue signaled) around fifty illegal migrants who were flown there at the direction of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis – before they were bussed and ferried off the island less than two days later.
A violent wake-up call
Last Thursday, November 17, minutes after it opened for the day, a small bank in the island town of Vineyard Haven was invaded by three armed masked men. They threatened, subdued and duct taped the employees and proceeded to make off in a stolen car with an undetermined amount of cash – after brandishing semiautomatic handguns to intimidate the bank personnel.
Nothing like this crime has ever been seen on Martha’s Vineyard. Previously, the crime rate on the small island off the southern coast of Massachusetts was almost non-existent, confined to things like DUIs and the occasional passing of a bad check. But now, like many other blue communities that have declared themselves to be sanctuaries for illegal immigrants, things are changing.
Many residents of overwhelmingly Democrat Martha’s Vineyard declare themselves to be “abolitionists” who subscribe to the Critical Race Theory that the U.S. is a racist country that continues to require the abolition of systemic racism.

What was lost in money was enriched in culture.
Let’s send millions more to Martha’s Vineyard, the racists!
Martha’s Vineyard isn’t very big is it? And the only way off is via ferry? Seems like a bad place to rob a bank, since you can’t get away very easily.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Filthy hypocrites those rich elite of the ruling class.
“Life enrichment” finally comes to the Marthas. Congratulations!
The investigation is going to be hilarious.
Since wealthy white people will be excluded only illegal “migrants” will have to be looked at...
“Racist” policing at its finest.
If we could dump a few thousand more illegals on the island then it would be wonderful chickens coming home to roost.
Karma’s a .... you know.
Homes of rich and wealthy people require many service crews that come onto the property from weekly to daily to perform required task to maintain the property.
Some may live on the island and others ferried over on regular schedules.
I would empty out the worst housing projects in MA and ship the inhabitants to MV. Let’s test their wokeness on a grand scale.
Embrace the culture of others.
Good to see that the things that lefties promote for the rest of - such as unfettered 3rd world immigration - are finally starting to touch them.
Time for Gov. Abbott to send in more migrants to further diversify Martha’s Vineyard. They asked for it, now they’re getting it and they deserve it.
White mega MAGA men?
Unless you have a boat. Still...don't the police have radios? I know for a fact that some of the police in the towns in the area have their own boats, and of course could send patrol cars down to the docks.
They're wetbacks. They all look alike. How would you know?
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion is our “strength. so says Joe & Kamala.
