Gov. Whitmer wants designated areas for peaceful protesting as unrest continues nationwide

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is calling for communities to designate areas for people to protest peacefully as demonstrations, some turning violent, continue across the nation over issues of police brutality against minorities.

She issued a statement Saturday, May 30, asking the public to protest peaceflly but also to adhere to social distancing as the coronavirus pandemic continues.

“The First Amendment right to protest has never been more important, and in this moment when we are still battling a killer virus, it is crucial that those who choose to demonstrate do so peacefully, and in a way that follows social distancing guidelines to protect public health,” she said in a written statement.

Whitmer is encouraging communities to “designate areas for peaceful demonstrations where people can make their voices heard.”

“Communities are hurting, having felt that calls for equity, justice, safety, and opportunity have gone unheard for too long. We stand in solidarity with those who are seeking equitable justice for everyone in our state,” she said.

The most EVIL GOVERNOR in the history of this Great Lakes state. BY FAR. Look at her face, listen to her words, watch her deeds.

You got a point there.

A few weeks ago they were calling citizens that were peacefully petitioning their government to end the lockdown “terrorist”.

Today in many American streets are real live terrorist.

To all Democrats, do you see the difference now?

Thanks very much Karl Spooner. Occasionally (not always) the camera captures the ZERO compassion face of the psychopath. Other examples...Obamas, Hillary, Brennan, Strzok, Comey, Jarrett, Feintein, Schumer, Pelosi, Soros, Atta, Khomeini, Hussein, Bundy, Manson, etc., etc.

This wasn't a protest - it was a looting and crime spree. We don't need 'police reform' - we need "black thug culture" reform.

Maybe they can protest on her yacht. Her hubby can use his influence to get it put in the water.

Or better yet, the governor’s residence. Protest there.

Apparently State wide lockdowns and police arrests are only for law abiding citizens.

She certainly did not attempt to self isolate and stay home.

But that’s ok, cause my second amendment rights protect me from all kinds of criminals.

Slugs for thugs.

According to what I am seeing, the blacks are the cannon fodder for the white thugs dressed in blacks.

This is an insurrection, not a riot. The blacks sadly are just disposable tools to the Progressive Antifa and the DNC who field them.

Legalization of marijuana was on the same ballot. That increased the turnout of lefties. Not the only reason, but a big factor,IMO.

She must have attended college where they have safe spaces for their students. Next she will want stuffed teddy bears, bean bags and incense burning included in those spaces as well.

I can't believe there are more than ten people like this woman in the entire State of Michigan.

She’s more comfortable duking it out with 77 year old barbers.
