View submission: Three Palestinian students shot and wounded in Burlington, Vermont, police say
While that may be true, there’s literally ~15 murders per year in the entire state. I think people are really overstating the crime and racism there.

Oh for sure, I mentioned it is definitely lesser than other areas. But it does exist. But I won't lie, I was pretty shocked to see Burlington VT be in the headlines for this. Guess just acknowledging issues like this happen everywhere once in a while. I was similarly surprised about the Dublin riots, a place that usually doesn't have stuff like that. It just makes me worry this stuff is really spreading everywhere at this point to dangerous levels.
Also, VT is the 49th populated state in the union.
