Gretchen Whitmer Targets 77-Year-Old Barber’s Livelihood, Strips Operating License ‘Without a Hearing’
breitbart ^ | 13 May 2020 | Kyle Olson

Karl Manke, a 77-year-old from Owosso, reopened his shop after he was turned down for unemployment.

Amid the legal threats from Whitmer’s administration, he recently responded, “What, are they going to give me? Life? I’ve got one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel. I could care less.”

“As long as I have two hands and I’m capable of cutting hair, that’s my occupation,” Manke said. “That’s what I do. That’s what I’m going to continue to do.”

SNIP

After the close of business on Tuesday, Whitmer’s administration stripped Manke of his operating license, his attorney said.

“Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs has suspended Karl’s license,” attorney David Kallman told radio host Steve Gruber.

“Not thinking about it, they’ve actually done it without a hearing, without any due process,” he added, saying the action took place some time after 5:00 p.m.

“It’s an unbelievable abuse of power,” Kallman said, arguing there’s no legal basis for the action.

“This is pure retribution by the governor’s office and by the AG. This is so petty and vindictive, it’s beyond the pale,” he told Gruber.

This lady is out of control. Only a couple of months ago she was floated as the VP choice for Biden.

Scary.

LOL, reminds me of the saying “The older you get, the less life in prison is a deterrent.”

Are the militia still out in front of his shop?

Are they still armed?

Will they attempt to stop any LEO’s from closing him up and hauling him off to jail?

If it comes to it, who will be the first to fire?

Democrat governors say, “Too rich? No problem. I hereby proclaim all profit making activities to be illegal. Oh, and Federal government, could you cut us a check for $3,000,000,000,000.00 please since we can no longer skim the profits of private business.”

Time to call the US Attorney for the violation of Constitutional Protected Due Process.
