Protesters In Michigan Plan 'Operation Haircut' Demonstration Against Stay-At-Home Order [View all]

Source: Inquisitr

May 16, 2020



Members of the Michigan Conservative Coalition are planning a protest called “Operation Haircut” to oppose Michigan’s stay-at-home orders,Fox 2, reported. The group is organizing barbers and hairstylists from all over Michigan to gather at the Capitol building and give free haircuts on the lawn.

According to Fox 2, the group got the idea for the protest after hearing that a barber in Owosso, Michigan, had his license revoked for continuing to give haircuts while the stay-at-home order was in place. The barber, Carl Manske, has become a hero to Michiganders who believe the stay-at-home orders are excessive and unjust.

Meshawn Maddock, a member of the Michigan Conservative Coalition, spoke to Fox 2 about the protest and the stay-at-home orders. She said the demonstrations that have been happening in Michigan, and the upcoming “Operation Haircut,” are about “our governor overreaching.” She went on to say that the restrictions being imposed by the Michigan government are “tyrannical.”

Maddock praised Manske for being “brave enough to risk his license, to stand up to our governor.” She said that when other barbers and hairstylists heard about Manske’s license being revoked, they started talking about what they could do to express their opposition. The idea for “Operation Haircut” came out of these discussions.
