Seems like the islands brain trust does not know how to treat their public servants very well.

Maybe that is why they are stopping cars night and day ?

Now THAT’s backing the blue. The taxpayer pays in the end

really ?400 k ? and i should pay this ?

How is 400k slightly more than 4 x 114k?

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

Shelter and heat. Very important!

for all those touchy feely liberals out there that think everyone is nice, and there are no racist here.. Think again.

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

Wow...

Anne Bullock

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

So how is this 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...

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?

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?"

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 🤷🏾‍♀️ 🇯🇲

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

MV The Martha's Vineyard Times why wasn't this man arrested -- apparently he is familiar to the store owners and has a history of this kind of racist behavior.

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

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

Wonder who he is voting for?

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

This title reads like a 5th grader was given a thesaurus.

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

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

His name?

SOOOooooo---The Times HAS video but won't release it because of the language??? HOW ABOUT BLEEPING IT OUT??!!! THE POLICE CAN'T TELL WHO HE IS FROM THE PHOTO AND VIDEO??? OF COURSE THEY KNOW! This guy is a repeat offender, there are pictures and video and nobody knows who he is? It isn't a hate crime??? Isn't the purpose of the "press" to investigate? Name names??? What does the size of the woman have anything to do with it, by the way?

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

Lowlife white redneck mentality ... who is this island scumbag? Let's get his name and put it on the internet.

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

The Taunton man accused in the shooting death of Eric Voshell at a Fall River biker bar has been granted bail by the judge in the case. Voshell, an Oak Bluffs firefighter and a member of the Sidewinders motorcycle gang, was killed a year ago.

That’s sad 😢

live by the gun, die by the gun-- when you are a gang banger in a gang bar in a dispute with another gang and your side is beating the crap out of someone with pipes and brass knuckles, and someone steps in to save someone from being beaten to death, you might get shot. The person who stopped you from beating someone to death might have a chance at a fair trial. it seems to me that none of these people were nice law abiding citizens ,., Any questions ?

Why?

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