The police should call in sick if they have any sense at all.

The simple trick in the book is to become a “victim”,”threatened” and “conspired” against. Tyrants do this and hell is unleashed and tyranny bolted down further. This woman is a true B*tch Hitler.

We all knew that the libs would not surrender without a fight. COVID response is all about ‘get Trump’ and stop Durham/Barr. Now that the Flynn unmaskers are out there, its really too late to prevent prosecutions. The mad flailing now is about desperation and distraction. They arent afraid to kill to keep their power. Very dangerous times.

The petty Gretchen Whitmer is throwing a tantrum...

Whitmer - “Why won’t they just roll over and do as I say? I am their queen, their giver of all things. They don’t understand that I do it for their own good. Are they going to force me to make an example of those who resist my authority?! Yes, I will round up 100 of these peasants and shoot them! Maybe that will make them understand!”

Every single person at the next protest should have a firearm.

Try arresting them all, bitch.

If you try, then see what happens next.

In all seriousness.... it’s pretty idiotic brandishing weapons at a lockdown protest. Don’t act like a hill billy and you won’t be treated like one

Sure you're at the right website?

No offense, but I can’t yet find this as an actual directive or statement from Witless or her alphabet AG.

> Protestors in Michigan planning to rally at the state Capitol on Thursday are being warned that if they bring firearms to the event they will be arrested.

Can anyone find original text?

WILX says “ The Michigan State Police posted a video threadto their Twitter page detailing in part how they will be involved in Thursday’s protest” so I’m going there next.

On Monday, Whitmer King George said she respected people’s rights to protest but was becoming ‘increasingly concerned about the violent nature of the comments being made’ and the ‘extreme rhetoric already connected to Thursday’s rally.’

Why do you ask that? I’m not arguing that people don’t have the right to bare arms. I’m arguing that it’s bad politics to show up with a weapon .. a bad way to win an argument.

The article’s making a leap but not a big one. From MSP:

“ Under Michigan law possession of an openly carried firearm coupled with an intention to create fear in another person could subject an individual to criminal prosecution for brandishing a firearm. Additionally, if a person refuses to obey a lawful directive from a law enforcement officer, that person could be subjected to criminal prosecution for resisting and obstructing.

Authorities are hopeful that the voices of those who wish to be heard can exercise their rights in safety and that our Legislature and their staff can do their important work without being threatened. Protestors unable to adhere to the rule of law and who behave in a threatening and unlawful manner can expect to be held accountable in our courts.

During recent events at the Capitol, some residents carried firearms in protest of Michigan’s Stay Home, Stay Safe executive order, leading some legislators and other employees working at the Capitol to express that they were concerned for their wellbeing.“

https://www.michigan.gov/msp/0,4643,7-123—529059—,00.html

Not too hard to assume that they intend to declare “intent” in the same way a sign comparing Witless to Adolf was twisted into labeling citizens en masse as Nazis.

This sounds like a mom who has lost control and she just starts shouting, DO YOU WANT ME TO PULL THIS CAR OVER?!!!

She’s not even putting up an appearance of knowing what in the world she’s doing.

She’s beginning to fear the people. This is a GOOD thing.

“...it’s pretty idiotic brandishing weapons...”

Don’t be a dipstick. Carrying isn’t the same as brandishing.

Given the state of technology these days, it is nearly impossible to make an actual death threat against a high government official without being caught.

I MIGHT believe that Wretched Witless received many ACTUAL death threats when the perpetrators are paraded in front of the news cameras as they are being hauled into jail pending trial.

Until then, I’m gonna assume that they are lying about the death threats for their own purposes.
