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 ?

really ?400 k ? and i should pay this ?

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

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 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?

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?"

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.

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.

“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

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

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

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

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?

His name?

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

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?
