Travelers to Vermont’s tony summer vacation spot were reminded that not everyone wants to wear a mask.

The mayor of Montpelier denounced lawless vandalism in her city as “the acts of vandalism and destruction that a cowardly few would seek to inflict on us. To those individuals who would seek to deface these public installations, I implore you to consider what position would require such violence and destruction.” She’s talking about damage done to the Black Lives Matter street mural; other mayors (though not many in Vermont) might be saying the same of rioting and vandalism done in the name of BLM.
