State Rep.: Lack of protest enforcement was 'exercise in white privilege' (Wisconsin)
WISN ^ | 4/26/20

MILWAUKEE - State Rep. LaKeshia Myers says she received death threats after releasing a statement denouncing the lack of enforcement at a protest against Gov. Tony Evers' safer at home order extension.

The protest at the State Capitol in Madison about 1,500 of opponents of the order extension.

"The rally held at the Wisconsin State Capitol (Friday) by individuals protesting the governor’s ‘Safer at Home’ order was clearly an exercise in white privilege," Myers' statement said. "Even though a permit was denied and the capitol building was closed to the public, protesters openly defied the governor’s directive by gathering en masse on the capitol grounds while waving confederate flags and carrying military grade assault rifles."

Police did not arrest or cite any protesters.

"While some of the individuals participating were Wisconsinites there are also many who have traveled from out of state to participate in this deleterious display of demagoguery," Myers went on to say in her statement. "In many municipalities across Wisconsin people who break the ‘Safer at home’ order can be fined, with the maximum penalty being jail time."

Is Wisconsin a Peoples’ Republic or not?

Who’s to be in charge?

I’m tired of these racists, and their self-hating white accomplices.

They seriously need to remove Bigots from office. I am sick of all this “White Privilege” crap. How about we get politicians that do not judge people by the color of their skin?

It never ceases to amaze me how losers like this see skin color in everything.

What is wrong with some folks that they are constantly obsessed with skin color?

It’s not about seeing skin color, is a political weapon, and people keep falling for the lie.

She’s too racist and too ignorant to be in that position of responsibility. Sometimes, the name is a clue to the mindset.

Its really easy to complain about “white privilege” when 85% of Wisconsin is Caucasian. One would expect most of the protesters to be white.

“Military grade assault weapons”. I bet not one such weapon was there. First it has to be capable of full auto (a.k.a. M-16). which cost about 20k and a federal tax stamp. I doubt many in the crowd could afford it. I am sure every weapon there was legal, but facts don’t matter to these pukes. With absolute idiots like her running a state it is only a matter of time before they become Venezuela North.

State Rep. LaKeshia

Stopped reading there.

Everything in the liberal lands seems to be partly run by a "LaKeshia" or other derivative.

I am simply just giving up on DNC cities,state and regions. They get what they vote for.

She needs to be forced to resign her office immediately.

She has disgraced the office with her racist and hateful speech.

This must not stand.

She has no idea about a military weapon differs from a civilian one, but it doesn’t matter because her voters don’t either.

It is not lost on me that the response likely would have been very different had the majority of protesters been people of color. This is not speculative but based on historical facts."

It is speculative, idiot.

And what would happen if the crowd were majority black, and nothing happened? Your liberal house of cards you've built up over the decades of your life would come tumbling down, and you can't have that, right?
