    Yea Newsweek, using an image of the southern border is totally not biased in this context.

    Police incidents happen all the time. Keep your xenophobia out of a matter that Vermont can handle internally. This is so transparently formatted to be national rage bait.

      I thought you were probably right about the photo, then I saw it.

      That’s quite irresponsible, Newsweek.

    Vermont public safety officials have issued a news release announcing that Interstate 91 at mile marker 168 is closed due to “an evolving police incident.” That location is near Newport, north of Burlington, near the Canadian border.

    I-91 doesn’t go to Burlington, it doesn’t go near it. Burlington is on the western border of the state; across the lake is New York. I-91 goes up the eastern border of the state, paralleling the Connecticut River, the boundary with New Hampshire.
