| Schadenfreude - Violent crime comes to Martha's Vineyard. And guess why, it seems the island has a massive unreported change in permanent residence demographics!? |

| [AmericanThinker] The previously unimaginable has happened: tjhe storybook island of Martha's Vineyard, the seasonal home of billionaires and hundreds of elite cultural and political movers and shakers, not to mention one of three year-round homes of the Obamas, has finally experienced that rarity previously limited to the mainland: violent gun crime. And surprise: The alleged perpetrators are not MAGA white nationalists. Rather, evidence so far points to migrants, possibly of the illegal kind. This is a bitter pill for most Vineyard residents to swallow. The island's six towns have all declared themselves to be sanctuary communities. Last September, the island rallied (AKA virtue-signaled) around fifty illegal migrants who were flown there at the direction of Florida governor Ron DeSantis — before they were bussed and ferried off the island less than two days later. A VIOLENT WAKE-UP CALL Last Thursday, November 17, minutes after it opened for the day, a small bank in the island town of Vineyard Haven was invaded by three armed masked men. They threatened, subdued, and duct-taped the employees and proceeded to make off in a stolen car with an undetermined amount of cash — after brandishing semiautomatic handguns to intimidate the bank personnel. Nothing like this crime has ever been seen on Martha's Vineyard. Previously, the crime rate on the small island off the southern coast of Massachusetts was almost nonexistent, confined to things like DUIs and the occasional passing of a bad check. But now, like many other blue communities that have declared themselves to be sanctuaries for illegal aliens, things are changing. This island-wide welcome mat has resulted in the presence of hundreds if not thousands of migrants, who now seem to be close to outnumbering the American citizens — most of them working- or middle-class — who reside year-round on the island. This radical and sudden demographic shift has been largely ignored by the island's news media. DEMOGRAPHY IS DESTINY A recent visit to Martha's Vineyard, which has a year-round population of about 20,000, illustrated the profound demographic changes taking place on the island. Making the rounds there this fall at one of the island's six food markets, for example, a majority of the shoppers — and even the store personnel — were obviously recent migrants, virtually all of whom were not speaking English. Most of the immigrant couples in the store had several young children in tow, communicating with them in their native language. Presumably, all of these kids are now being educated in island schools at taxpayers' expense. This observation stands in radical contrast to the situation on the Vineyard only two or three years ago, when the population was overwhelmingly made up of English-speaking native-born Americans. For example, the Martha's Vineyard Commission, in a report published in 2019, put the white population of the island at 88.1%, Black or African-American 3.7%, and Hispanic or Latino 1.7%. Those statistics have been turned on their head based on observations of the island earlier this month. As we know, increased, unregulated, illegal migration from third-world countries is associated with rising crime rates, and now Martha's Vineyard appears to be no exception. |

| #6 Local speculation is that one or more of the guys working the ferries between MV and the mainland are in on it. |

| #4 Imagine how superior to everyone else it will make the typical MV white guilt monger feel to be stabbed by a brown person. |

| #3 I salute the level of commitment to year round Martha’s Vineyard homeless. Seems like a cardboard box wouldn’t cut it for a Nor’easter. |

| #2 Who could have possibly known? Yes, who could have known? World theological philosopher Nan PeeLousy insisted we were importing "sparks of divinity." Like all gummint programs, the prescription for the failure of the immigration disaster will be to double down. Watch and see. |
