But the whole thing has some surreal elements. Local paper: https://www.penbaypilot.com/article/knox-county-deputies-investigate-vinalhaven-incident-tree-cut-barricade-driveway-quar/132336?fbclid=IwAR1gUHnQvTuD8ktccWTIJEWn8MZD4oq24TL2RjZHjXoVIfzLFdy5xGm4HOI#.Xn98RKNSbbg.facebook "The incident blew up on Vinalhaven at 3:35 p.m., Friday, March 27, according to the S.O,, when a resident of Cripple Creek Road, Vinalhaven, was heading from his residence toward Round The Island Road. He was going to check on why the cable service was not working. When he got to the end of his road he found a tree blocking the end of it. “While investigating the downed tree, a neighbor started yelling at him and a group of people showed up and began to gather around,” So to avoid the risk of having someone with New Jersey plates driving around the island, the locals gathered in a group to yell at the guy. Nice. Meanwhile they are all probably traveling off-island for groceries and other supplies themselves. Then there's the State rep's Facebook response: "Stay home, wash your hands, don't talk to strangers, and don't waste the time of our first responders." One of those four pieces of advice is not like the others. Since it's possible to talk to someone from 6 feet away or with a mask on, WTF? I gave directions to someone riding a bike today. She was on one side of the bike path and I was 6 feet away and positioned upwind. Good grief. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
