LANSING, Mich. — Protesters gathered at the Michigan State Capitol building Thursday, May 14 for a rally against Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's stay at home order.
The demonstration started at 9 a.m. and is expected to last until 1 p.m. Michigan State Police tweeted around the start time that protesters began to gather and the crowd was about 150 people. They had "no issues to report."

These protests are the best thing to happen since Trump’s 2016 victory. I just wish people wouldn’t show up at these things with their guns. They aren’t going to shoot anyone (we hope), and it’s just a big distraction.
Whoever is taking video should be thrown in jail for a crappy video-—
I have no reason to fear patriots and their guns.
Heavy rain all day here in Michigan.
The “distractions” you mention are meant to force the usurper of power to have trouble sleeping and possibly think about unintended consequences of their actions.
Me neither.
Perfectly legal.
I thought showing up with their guns was the perfect reminder of what the 2nd Amendment is all about. Standing up to tyrannical government. Reminding everyone who works for whom. It was the modern day torches and pitchforks.
People in MI have a long history of electing the most odious officeholders.
Pearl clutcher
We will be at the Maryland rally tomorrow.
Rally organizers, some state delegates and businesses served the Governor with a Federal Lawsuit two weeks ago.
Since then, he’s hemmed and hawed, shucked and jived, done things ahead of his nebulous timeline, made stupid decisions, shoved his responsibilities off to counties instead of making actual decisions. In other words, a real profile in courage.
The lawsuit has him scared.
Cops could get a little pricky today, they are all disarmed the way it looks.
How much do y’all wanna bet the dictatorship of Half Whitmer drives Michigan to vote for Trump again?
You realize the colonists didn't arm themselves with torches and pitchforks. They were equivalently equipped with the same arms used by greatest military force in world at that time.
Hot weather, those dehumanizing masks and frustrations with being isolated and broke will make for much more ... uh ... "animated" protests.
Hogan needs to be scared of the lawsuit. I can’t stand to see his fat face on the news.
I didn’t know they were the greatest, but I did know they were well armed. I saw The Patriot. ;)
