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."

“...in this deleterious display of demagoguery,”


...but she does use big words, doesn’t she? Reminds me of Agnew’s “nattering nabobs of negativism”.

so for 364 days La Kesha is against law enforcement and calls them racist. But on one day she screams white privilege and wants the cops to do something.

Cant’s have it both ways.

Someone needs to take her 'word of the day' toilet paper away from her.

The old saying, “ a picture is worth a thousand words” pretty much hold true in this case. The pic pretty much sums up EXACTLY what’s wrong with government.

Memo to Lakeshia, aka, Karen- being called an Idiot is NOT a death threat.

An exercise in white privilege? How about an exercise in the privilege of those who actually worked and who actually had the energy to get their butts off of the couch to go protest. Losing a job that you actually have it’s quite the incentive. She should take a look at her community see the profile just how many people work versus how many people get by on government assistance.

One trick pony - R-card flasher

I suppose this dolt thinks an african style society would be better. She can open her mouth and utter such yammerings because of ‘white civilization’ ... without worry.
