A group of armed vigilantes in Maine apparently decided to help a couple of out-of-towners make the decision to self-quarantine. Several armed men cut down a large tree on Friday on the island of Vinalhaven and dragged it across the driveway of the rental home of two construction workers from New Jersey.
Representative Genevieve McDonald said that the men, who had lived in the area since September, went to the mainland and were targeted by locals over their license plates when they returned. McDonald said, "There were words between them and some locals, and the conversation apparently didn't go very well.
A group of local vigilantes decided to take matters into their own hands, and barricade these guys into their rental property." The group had vanished by the time the authorities responded. McDonald added, "Now is not the time to develop or encourage an 'us vs. them' mentality. Targeting people because of their license plates will not serve any of us well."
