Hundreds protest Michigan governor's social distancing order
Source: Associated Press
LANSING, Mich. (AP) Hundreds of flag-waving, honking protesters drove past the Michigan Capitol on Wednesday to show their displeasure with Gov. Gretchen Whitmers orders to keep people at home and businesses locked during the coronavirus outbreak.
As snow fell, others got out of their vehicles and raised signs, one of which read, Gov. Whitmer We Are Not Prisoners. Another said, Michigander Against Gretchens Abuses.
Hours later, Whitmer shot back, telling reporters that the rally put health at risk.
The Operation Gridlock protest was organized by the Michigan Conservative Coalition. The ripples were widely felt: Traffic was barely moving for miles in some areas of Lansing.

Whitmer said she was really disappointed to see protesters close together without masks.
I guess these MAGAts should all be given a Darwin award..

The only thing we won't know is how many more people they went on to inflict this shit on. But yeah, they want to be hardasses, fine, get them to sign up, let them make themselves known public examples.

I know it's hard for the media to ignore a bunch of racist old white guys carrying guns and bragging about how good their sisters are in bed, but this time... you must ignore it.

Ever notice how they all have to look and dress alike? Fat, big bellies, some sort of Duck Dynasty beard, oh, and white (always) of course and mostly old.
Geez, they're pathetic.
