Demonstrators rally outside the Michigan state Capitol in Lansing as part of 'Operation Haircut' — the latest in a string of protests against the state's stay-at-home order.

Hundreds of protesters turned out Wednesday to protest Michigan's stay-at-home order — and get free haircuts.

Toting signs that read"End tyranny,""Live free or die" and accusing Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of"killing small businesses," demonstrators rallied outside the state Capitol in Lansing as part of"Operation Haircut." Several barbers were in attendance, giving free trims to demonstrators. Some of the barbers and protesters were not wearing face coverings. Many of the demonstrators also stood within 6 feet of one another as they waited for their cuts.

At least three of the barbers were given citations for disorderly conduct, the state police said on Twitter.Sign Up

Shave them heads shave them heads shave them heads I’m helping right also gets them ready for jail

How selfish people are then can spread the the virus and they just don’t care. If they spread it to a loved one then what will they say.

Heh, those that were so outraged about kneeling during the national anthem, are u equally outraged someone holding a flag as his hair gets cut and falls all over it? Expression of rights ? Can’t have it both ways

errr... I don’t trust these idiots with scissors or guns.

Let them die.

Operation cut what? The fingers off and apply for worker comp benefits?

Protest with Masks & Social Distancing! Safely Protest FOR Mail-in Voting! Safely Protest AGAINST the Sneaky, Snarky, Inept, Authoritarian Con-Man-in-Chief who seeks out his gullible prey, feeds them virtual-reality BS, & screws the foolish; Strives for WH in lieu of jail!

Spoiled, Self-Absorbed, Irresponsible US Brats Disrespect All First-Responders, Front-Line Workers, & Families of All Who have Suffered Through/Succumb to the Virulent Virus! They Recklessly Endanger Themselves & Others!

I'm not religious, atheist, really, but... dear whatever being may be out there, let these morons all suffer with incomprehensible pain from the great plague that is COVID. amen

Awesome 😎

Open time for the SEASON OF IDIOTS! Their choice to die!

That is so silly, but at least they cut outside instead of in a small room surrounded by others

Why are they using masks and desecrating the American flag?

So they got haircuts. What are they complaining about?

Wait, are they using an American flag as a poncho to catch the hair being cut? Yeah, that's showing 'proper respect for the flag' alright ! SMH

Gov of Michigan bans families from going to cabins-- except her own 'special elite' family..

Better than armed assholes I guess. Still dumb, but do you.

Meanwhile there is flooding in the state.

'Operation Haircut' while a guy in the pick has a braided ponytail halfway down his back. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!!!

That's fine, 'protestors'-you have the right to protest-but keep the guns and the hate at home....

Amazing this lockdown continues despite the severe lack of evidence against it as a protocol and necessity. The gullible population pausing this are some of the most ignorant sheep I've ever seen. All superstition.

I’ll at least give them this... they finally found a ‘peaceful’ and less threatening manner to protest. Kudos to the individual who thought this up.

You're not suppose to use the flag as a rag to catch your hair

Next week will be kissing booths, no masks allowed.

Operation haircut is among the stupidest, most “Karen” things I have ever seen. I support economic concerns. I do not support claiming this “right”. Get to work being a member of society.

That was the original name of the band Haircut 100. No, it wasn’t. LovePlusOne

I guess we don’t need to open the salons then. They’re all set. 😂 Fools.

“Operation Inbred” is in effect. Judging by the way most of these numbnuts look, a haircut is low on the list of things they need.

Stupid is as stupid does.

Idiots

Darwin sends his regards

LunaticFringe

Americans, fixed it for you.

I am next in line for hair shave 😂

Are these the same white people telling black folks to 'get over' 400 years of slavery, after 2 months without a haircut?

I'm sure some of them would soon end up in Johns Hopkins COVID-19 death database.

AKA Operation Goddamn Idiot.

Jane Roe’s Deathbed Confession: Anti-Abortion Conversion ‘All an Act’ Paid for by the Christian RightIn its final 20 minutes, the documentary film AKA Jane Roe delivers quite the blow to conservatives who have weaponized the story of Jane Roe herself—real name, Norma McCorvey—to argue that people with uteruses should have to carry any and all pregnancies to term. McCorvey, who died in 2017, became Jane Quite a revelation although not surprising There's a lot of hypocrisi around this subject. men who pledge to be against abortion have paid doe some. Was she lying then or lying now who really knows? Don’t think much of her. God took care of it one way or another. Quite a revlation, But not a surprise Many men have pretended to be anti-Abortion after having paid for abortians to save their reputations The hypocrisi is staggering There the ones with the (holier ? )than thou attitude
