A Maine man said armed neighbors descended on his home and chopped down a tree to block his road and prevent him from leaving because they believed he may have coronavirus.

The Vinalhaven resident said he went outside Friday to check why his cable service wasn't working and found a tree blocking the end of his road, according to the Knox County Sheriff's Office."While investigating the downed tree, a neighbor started yelling at him and a group of people showed up and began to gather around. Believing the group may be there to harm him, fled to his residence and told his roommates what he had found," the sheriff's office said on Facebook.

The residents had been on the island for nearly a month before the incident took place.It's not 'us vs. them'State Rep. Genevieve McDonald, who represents the island, said on Facebook the incident"is not something to be celebrated.

These are the people who shouldn't have guns.

Wow

Woah, now starts the fun stuff

We do only regular stuff in Maine. I suggest NY and NJ people leave quietly before we know you are here.

Come on CNN please you can’t find better stories to scare Americans then that. How about how China lied, killed whistleblowers, kicked out western journalists. Now that’s scarey.

White people with guns is more dangerous than covid-19.

STAY HOME

At least they didn't weld his door shut like they did to suspected Wuhan virus infections in China.

And Carol put perfume on ex0ticjoe shoes so the tigers would eat him.

Not THIS sh*t!🤨

If the media is 'making them act like this,' people need to turn off the damn TV.

cc Brittany_207 WTF

Is it serious?

Does this not read like something out of a Stephen King novel?

It’s going to come to this

Humanity under test all over the world. Don't want to judge them as those who judge us 2 months ago. But we need to stay resilient as well as kind to get through this together.

But CNN wont say a word about another Radical leftist Judge releasing Illegals into the Civilian population of NJ one with Corona...

Bet they were liberals.

False imprisonment!

Who took that photo though? I love it

Police killing of man they say was armed sparks riot in Orange County, New YorkPolice wanted to question the man in connection to a shooting when a struggle ensued, according to the Orange County District Attorney, who said the man had a gun and fired at officers. During Obama's presidency, the H1N1 virus in 2009 infected 1.4 BILLION and killed 570,000 people worldwide. The coronavirus won't reach 1% of H1N1 infections. Coronavirus hysteria is perpetrated by democrats and their willing accomplices in the far-left media. Hmm... I wonder why that happened.
