Actually, the BLM government of Burlington has a severe shortage of black people, so they have to share them around between dem programs.
Most of the people taking advantage of the BLM approach to crime are white thieves, drug dealers, rapists, and tweakers who are attracted to Burlington from all over because it’s a congenial location for their lifestyles.

The injured Palestanian “found nearby” could have been the perp that shot at the other two Palestinians.
Is anyone here enjoying the mixing bowl? Kiss our previous society goodbye.
“Did they come across the Canadian border?”
Vermont is kinda shaped like Israel, maybe they were on a raid.
they are reflexively Chevy Chase liberals. I liked her, very much, but our politics were diametrically different.
Sounds like our elite former female cousin. She ended up living in Montgomery Cty and held about 6 exec positions with various elite non profits. She raised an expensive breed of dogs.
She retired at 80 something a couple of years ago and traded or sold her home in DC and moved to your area and spent a lot of money refurbing a big house for she and her dogs.
We only communicate at Christmas time with an exchange of
Christmas update letters.
Update: the three men shot were “out of state visitors”.
The fact that they were “out of town visitors” and they were shot near a synagogue, and that BPD is in touch with the Feds, does raise some concerns.
Since one cannot identify Palestinians on sight, whoever shot them had to have somehow known they were Palestinian.
This is far more than a *random act of violence*.
If the left is claiming that someone is targeting Palestinians, they are going to be hard pressed to show this was random. Not that that will stop them from trying, I’m sure.
Hmmm
I have a granddaughter in medical school there...
Part of the selection for going there was the quiet & safe college town...
Maybe the "smell"?
Maybe it was prevention of an attack on the synagogue?
One would think that islam is best served by staying away from Constitutional carry states...
Update: Burlington Police said all three were visiting the home of one of the victim’s relatives in Burlington for the holiday. Burlington Police Chief Jon Murad says the BPD will not release the identity of the victims.
Police say the three men were walking on Prospect Street when they were confronted by a white male with a handgun. The suspect was on foot in the area when investigators say he discharged at least four rounds from his pistol without speaking. Two of the victims were wearing keffiyehs at the time of the assault, according to Chief Murad.
All three victims were struck, two in their torsos and one in the lower extremities. Police say two are U.S. citizens, and one is a legal resident.
Update:
Police did not identify the victims names, but the families later released their names in a statement. Hisham Awartani is a student at Brown University, Kinnan Abdalhamid is a student at Haverford College and Tahseen Ahmed is a student at Trinity College, according to their family members.
Police say there is no additional information to suggest the suspect’s motive, such as statements or remarks by the suspect at this time.
Burlington is a planet unto itself.
Update:
Chief Murad says he, and other representatives of the BPD have communicated with the University of Vermont’s Chief Safety and Compliance Officer, the Colonel of the Vermont State Police, the local Supervisory Special Agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the United States Attorney for the District of Vermont, Congresswoman Balint, and Senators Bernie Sanders and Peter Welch, all of whom have expressed concern and offered assistance on this case.
“Violence of any kind against any person in our community is totally unacceptable and we will do everything in our power to find the perpetrator and hold them fully accountable. That there is an indication this shooting could have been motivated by hate is chilling, and this possibility is being prioritized in the BPD’s investigation. The City of Burlington has zero tolerance for hate crimes and will work relentlessly to bring the shooter to justice” Mayor Miro Weinberger said in a press release.
A lot of refugees from NYC in Burlington? Understatement. All over Vermont but especially in Burlington. Trust fund babies, dressed in the latest LL Bean or whatever they’re wearing these days.
My son and I had lunch there and walked around. We saw 3 BLM posters in storefronts, and zero black people. Just how liberals like it.
They were wearing Arab checkered tablecloths around their necks.
