Hundreds of protesters, some armed, gathered at Michigan's state Capitol in Lansing on Thursday objecting to Governor Gretchen Whitmer's request to extend emergency powers to combat COVID-19, an appeal Republican lawmakers ignored.
Many people at Thursday's "American Patriot Rally", including militia group members carrying firearms and people with pro-Trump signs, appeared to be ignoring state social-distancing guidelines as they clustered together within two metres of each other."Governor Whitmer, and our state legislature, it's over with.
People had their temperature taken by police as they entered. Inside, they sang the national anthem and chanted: "Let us work." State authorities have warned that protesters could be ticketed for violating social-distancing rules.
Trump is about to kill off some of his base,but he won’t be keeping the numbers.
Idiots. That’s all 🙄
USA - sick country
Two later.....
The face of Trump voters
The military or police response should of quelled this before it becomes a tort. I mean no holes barred.
It's a wrong thing to do
Let the mutha Fackas eat cake.
Wersula 'the police allowed some of the protesters to peacefully enter the building, some carrying long guns'... Peaceful and guns in the same sentence🙄, that should do it.
Popcorn at the ready
Maybe 'ignoring social distancing guidelines' is about the 6th most problematic thing here.
Maybe just let Darwinism work.
Haha! The same people who boast about being 'preppers' who could survive all alone and locked down for many months, are protesting because they WANT A HAIRCUT AND A HAMBURGER.
One wonders what these nut jobs think they are achieving.
Can you imagine if it were African Americans?
So the bloody smh want to report that someone was carrying a gun but the fnnn smh don't report about the FBI that was trying to take down the elected government in USA
And yet ppl wonder why US has the highest of cases & deaths. Have you seen these kind of behaviours in any other country?
Get them all to sign a waiver never to access any govt support, hospitals, drive on roads etc. Let them be free on their own land
Shows how sick the USA has become under Trump, and I’m not referring to Covid.
I was worried about the lack of social cohesion in the US. Let them reap what they sow - Australia can keep the borders shut indefinitely and can carry on with life while they drown in their second wave. I actually think we are lifting too much here - especially NSW
Jealous much?
When the chips are down, we know the level of cowardice the global right wing will stoop to. Their ideology is always destructive & moronic.
We have problems here in Australia but damn I am glad that I was born here and live here. There is nothing that could tempt me to live in a country like the USA
they are just defending their freedom.... lock them out of Australia border please.
Throw them in jail.
Just imagine if they were Muslim Americans protesting with guns
Great citizens. No wonder the USA is in decline the radical element is in control of the animal farm.
Karma-19 will sort them out
Sounds like the basis of The Hand Maids Tale!
Fine people of all walks of life reject tyranny.
No wonder the infection and death rates are high in the US. Self centred p***ks just like their president.
Guy looks like he already has corona virus.
