Shelter and heat. Very important!

Open them up ... it's no different than when your summer employer puts you up in a house with 5+ people you don't know

So if you aren't going to show the footage, it might be a smart idea to pass it along to the police as this person is clearly harassing the stores patrons due to their ethnicity, and I believe that would constitute a hate crime. If he is a repeat offender, why haven't the police taken action before?

Until I came to Martha’s Vineyard I didn’t know some people could be so rude and racist. But you know what I have meet so many people along my way on the island and the good outweighs the bad . I told my daughter not to give him the attention he’s seeking, he will meet some more of us proud Jamaicans 🤷🏾‍♀️ 🇯🇲

Follow your dreams, kids. Someday you too could be the king or queen of the xtra mart parking lot.

This guy is a total racist and punk. He starts problems by blocking people in around town, then starts a confrontation when he’s asked to move. Should be charged with hate crimes

This sounds more like bad parking MV than a news story... an almost parking lot fight.

It seems that folks know who this racist instigator is, despite not being officially identified by police or mv times. Can you out this person?

This male person needs and attitude adjustment, especially with all the nasty stuff happening these days. He probably has no respect for his mother either

Wow...

I hope the Tisbury cops don't let these protestors block traffic again especially when a ambulance is on the way to the MVH and had to take the back roads!! ..... No follow up from the press, the selectmen or the cops as to why they were allowed to block 5 Corners of all places!.. I would love to hear a explanation because "I would Assume" (no threats) if this is allowed again All Hell Is Going To Break Loose!.... VHPD has been having the usual problems over & over again and I am sick of complaining!!

So how is situation going to be resolved, since he is a repeat offender? Have the police been called before, due to his actions? Smh. It just doesn't stop...

I work for UPS and that gentleman in the silver truck purposely blocked me on two separate occasions on State rd in VH - when I ask him politely if he could move, he got aggressive and yelled profanities at me. He’s a very angry soul.

Sad....I can't believe people argue, in this case the gentleman, over inanimate objects. I do not see a person's skin color, rather their color of their soul. I see a pure soul in every human until you prove me otherwise at which point I will show you my eyes..... In the words of Bob Marley... "Let them all pass all their dirty remarks (One Love!) There is one question I'd really love to ask (One Heart!) Is there a place for the hopeless sinner Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own beliefs?"

That guy in the silver F150 starts shit all the time with people; he purposely blocks people in, then refuses to move and yells profanities at you. He should be charged.

“Ethnic vitriol??” Call things what they are...anti-Black, racist, white supremacist

If this man does this on a regular basis, the police need to step in and give him a citation. If he keeps it up haul his ass to jail

Was he flying a Trump flag an wearing a MAGA hat?

Witnesses? Video? Charge him with assault. He'll keep doing it until someone stops him.

Love how the police showed up late, didn’t give a shit, and left.

what a racist jerk.............he should be jailed!

What the fuck is "ethnic vitriol?" Call it what it is: racism.

Wonder who he is voting for?

So I wondering why it was necessary to state that the “several people” who were advocating for the woman were also “people of color”. What significance does that bring to the incident? To her plea? To the man’s deliberate heinous disrespect? All that needed to be said was that several people were advocating for her period. 🙄

If this man supposedly does this all the time why hasn’t the owner called the cops or gotten any of his information before? 🤔🤔🤔 seems sketchy

Could you imagine living your life so filled with hate that you make a point to regularly block the cars of POC and assert whatever perceived power you think you have? What a pathetic man. I hope charges are brought the next time he does this.

I simply cannot understand how such a dangerous individual is allowed out in public free on bail - it’s shocking and beyond imagination...

I dont live in town any longer, but I do love the fact they're keeping the main building. I know all the issues w it etc, and the cost to fix v rebuild again, but some things should be revered, and I personally feel the old(er) places like this building are one of those things.

👍🏻 please make sure the corridors are wide enough. They built a brand new middle school in Holden and the corridors aren’t wide enough for all the kids at one time...oops😟
