An alternative: Governor Phil Scott could have gone down to the Slate Ridge area and stood shoulder to shoulder with our fellow Vermonters who were being terrorized.

But he chose not to.

I've been told on multiple occasions that threatening words and behavior are not themselves illegal; but I don't care - Scott could have done the decent thing, but our Governor was more interested in staying above the fray.

That was Phil's choice.

My posts did not make him do that.
