Hundreds of angry demonstrators, some of them armed with rifles, stormed Michigan’s State House on Thursday to protest stay-at-home orders — terrifying lawmakers who wore bulletproof vests to protect themselves.
The protesters forced their way into the Capitol in Lansing to urge Michigan officials to end a state of emergency as the Wolverine State continues to battle one of the worst COVID-19 outbreaks in the country.
Thursday’s event reached a terrifying climax when Capitol police were forced to protect lawmakers as protesters tried to storm their way into the chamber, the Detroit Free Press reported.

If I was a police officer, I would not risk my life to protect these scumbags who deserve anything that happens.

About time those collectivists had to worry about us rather than us worrying about them!

“Directly above me, men with rifles yelling at us,” Michigan State Senator Dayna Polehanki wrote on Twitter, sharing a photo of the demonstrators. I wonder if the thought crossed her mind that it just might be a really good time to start listening to them...

These reps just happen to keep bullet proof vests in their offices? Maybe standard practice?
I wonder how many had rifles and if these were some sort of plants/infiltrators?
Never hurts to find out if there are lefty disrupters.

This should a message to all governors: act like a tyrant, and the People will invoke their right of revolution.

...terrifying lawmakers who wore bulletproof vests to protect themselves. They had these vests on before the constituents showed up? Is this a common occurrence?

Not that the gutless pukes have anything to worry about from the protesters, but those vests are actually kinda small.
Just sayin’.

Interesting, indeed.
Almost as if the story was written before the protest.

I think it’s great. That’s the only thing that will stop this insanity carried out by tyrants.
