    What law did they violate?
    They didn't?
    Oh - you just want to arrest them for exercising their rights.
    Typical.

    Certainly not fond of "free people" who show up with guns showing in an intimidating manner. They are the true tyrants; instead of using the system in place they choose to use guns to get their point across.

    I'm sure you believe that it did work, but they are still in office and they haven't changed their positions. Where I come from we call that "Fail". Your self-important thugs are going to have to try another approach to get their point across.

    Yes sir threatening the seat of government with arm protectors in the way to go.

    If I was the governor I would had call out the national guard making damn sure they also have bayonets on their rifles in order to get the point across even to low IQ Trump and NRA supporters that trying to threaten the government with their cheap copies of military rifles is not going to work for them.

    It’s not Over yet. It has them scared, talking, and arguing amongst themselves. Definitely worked.

    These freedom loving patriots are winning.

    It doesn’t look poor at all, it’s necessary in order to ensure their voices are heard.

    Polls say otherwise, but those are all fake news so carry on...
    Optics are terrible

    You obviously don’t know what fascism is.

    Dems don't bring guns to look mean to a virus or healthcare workers.

    I’ll bring a gun to my protest to ensure my safety and my voice is heard regardless of how you feel about it.

    Most people see patriots standing up for freedom. Dems are the only ones who see otherwise.

    Even brighter. They could recall her. They would need signatures on a petition... 25% of however many votes were cast for the Gubernatorial race in 2018.

    If they do get sick, it is their own fault. If they get others sick, because they are ignoring the rules, that would be there fault too.

    She's being sued by the legislature of her owned state. The legislature is falling on the side of the protesters.

    "As hundreds of protesters descended upon Michigan's Capitol building on Thursday to demand an end to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's coronavirus lockdown, the state's Republican-controlled Legislature ramped up its efforts to bring the Democratic governor's emergency powers to an end."

    The top three states with the HIGHEST deficits compared to revenue ...
    Wyoming(-20.9%), Kentucky (-7.5%) and Alaska (-6.9%) by percentage.
    So we probably have Red states declaring bankruptcy first.

    Yes, polls are fake news. The ability to manipulate them is well known.

    Backwards. The government doesn't elect the people to serve the government. The government doesn't have a right to protest against the citizens. The government doesn't have the power to prevent people from pursuing a livelihood.

    Any insane authoritarians who are great dictators in their own minds will soon be out of their job.

    They work for us or we furlough their jobs permanently.

    I undoubtedly will. The kill rate of this is very similar to the flu. And I’m young and healthy

    Just plays like a group of man-children having a temper tantrum in public. That's why so few people are participating in them.

    Great. Try not to infect your parents or grandparents after you protest with what ever weapon you choose to bring that day before Sunday dinner.

    So few protestors because most people don't want to appear as the equivalent of a 5 year old having a tantrum in
    the toy store. Pathetic.
