Interesting things happen when you embrace forced multi-culturalism with open borders, lawlessness, gang activity, depleted or stressed law enforcement, drugs, and Democrat control. More people end up dead.
Vermont’s growing annual body count, which can be linked directly to Democrat policy, added another victim.
Vermont state police say Christina Chatlos, 38, was shot and killed during a fight in St. Johnsbury last month.
According to court paperwork, investigators say Mohamad Said, 15, of Springfield, Massachusetts, pulled the trigger. Investigators say it stemmed from a drug deal that took a violent turn.
Chatlos, of Williamstown and Barre, was found dead on Jan. 23 inside a car with bullet holes in it parked in a lot on Portland Street, on the grounds of the Cornerstone School.
Said is in custody in Massachusetts after his arrest on a separate matter but will be extradited to Vermont, where he will enjoy all the comforts of the criminal justice system while awaiting trial. But we can’t ignore the similarities between this shooting and the rising violence across the state. Much of it involves non-Americans who either snuck in and were welcomed thanks to sanctuary policy or were resettled from a second or third-world country by some taxpayer-funded religious organization like Catholic Charities (notice the lack of Left-Wing outrage here about the separation of Church and State).
Vermont’s economy is not great, which Bidennomics only makes worse. The result is a land of milk and honey, where both seem spoiled. You simply can’t afford either, and the lack of jobs means that as a subject to the state, living on the dole, drugs, and crime are your fastest opportunity to a better-looking life or way out of it.
If professional shoplifting isn’t your thing, there are enough imported criminals, thugs, and gang leaders to start a nice war, which is how an increasing number of murders come to pass in places like Vermont.
The Democrat’s knee-jerk response to a rise in violence for which they are responsible is to disarm law-abiding citizens, a task well underway in the Green Mountain State.
You’d be right to ask if they saw it coming and this deliberate chaos was to justify eroding Second Amendment rights, which will only make the problem of murder worse for victims, and no, Democrats don’t care. Murder is good for their politics.
Vermont should expect more of it.
