in it's reporting of rural hotspots. They highlighted how the Sons of McVeigh were defying orders and fomenting protests. My county has about a 14% kill rate top 5 in Michigan. No adjoining county is anywhere near that.

I sure hope they're on the DHS watchlist.

But, your moniker for them sure fits!

(7,486 posts)There is so much back story I wish Post had found out. Mayor initially defied order city council voted 7 to 1 to keep town open. Mayor declared they would hold regular council meetings with public involved. Rumor is chief of Police and City manager forbade them using city hall, going as far as threatening to lock him out. Sons of McVeigh and followers have routinely broken the stay at home orders. So this is result. SOBs all think they are sovereign citizens on some mission.

(7,486 posts)On FB someone opined that College wasn't involved. City council does what College says period. So many conflicts. They have been pretty silent other than a statement that they were closing school but not because of Gretchens order. That didn't help at all implying she couldn't tell them what to do. It just kinda cascades from that. I hope the good people decide they don't want to be known for this shit. There are many good people, but our effort is being undone by Trump acolytes.

(34,165 posts)701 reported cases but it's all over the map with the number of deaths. Officially, 25 have died in Ingham County, for a death rate of around 4%, but then the paper reported 40 deaths "in the Greater Lansing area" which makes no sense. Unless they're including Clinton County, too. No wonder I don't subscribe to that paper.
