If you look closely, the people on the courthouse steps were waiving the TEXAS flag. We have a great Governor, but some of the local County Judges are nuts.
I went to Lowes to look at blinds, but I couldn't go in with my sister. But if it were a stranger it would be OK. What difference does it make as long as we practice social distancing?
I don't blame them. I blame the Judge that came there to make the threat personal.
I guess it's good I don't live in Raleigh. I promise you, as much as I love the police, I would defend my 1st amendment right with my second amendment. And I'd hate, hate, HATE to do it, but it's just like tossing people in an oven, at SOME point it's on those following orders to stop.
Hint: People were going to work back then, so blocking roads with human bodies for a pet cause was non-nonsensically anti-social, and not directly connected to anything to do with the traffic being blocked. Now it's about freedom itself. It's about the ability to go to work at all. The cars are the safest way to protest en masse.
Wait, you'd March willingly into an oven because the prison camp guard told you to? It's a bill of RIGHTS, not motherfucking permissions. RIGHTS. We have the right to peacefully assemble. Those that would infringe upon those rights should do so at their own peril.
The people should not be afraid of the government. The government should be afraid of the people.
Slight edit:. THEY'RE TELLING US GETTING OUT OF THE CAR IS ILLEGAL. WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK WE'RE GODDAMN PROTESTING HERE?
Straw man. Nobody is being forced into prison camps.
The guy I replied to is saying it's "good he doesn't live in Raleigh", implying that conditions right now are enough for him to "exercise his Second Amendment rights" a.k.a. shoot a cop.
Nobody is out shooting cops, so clearly he's just a radical on the internet.
Good. The country needs to see it. It's not just about protesting, it's also showing civil disobedience. The media is going to do everything in their power to prolong this hoax and demonize anyone who challenges it. People need to see others saying F-this, we're returning to free living.
That first reporter kept touching his face to adjust his mask haha! I think masks are more dangerous than not wearing a mask because it causes people to touch their face. I see it everywhere I go.
I'm not wearing those damn masks anymore, I never wore something on my face so uncomfortable in my life, the longer I wore it, my nose started getting stuffy, fuck that shit.
I refuse to wear one. This is just like how everyone responded to 9/11. Gave up their freedom and now let they let themselves be X-ray scanned by some stranger every time they want to board an airplane. I've always operated on the principle of "if you start changing the way you live your life because of something like this, then you've let fear win." I have always been a healthy individual before the China virus, I expect to be a healthy individual after. I won't wear a mask.
Yeah so I should wear something uncomfortable and annoying everyday for the rest of my life on the slight chance that I might spread a germ to someone else?
Also if I have no symptoms like coughing or sneezing how do I spread the disease exactly? I'm not running around rubbing myself then rubbing other people's arms. I'm not in the habit of coughing or sneezing in the direction of other people even if I am sick. Nobody ever gave a shit about the chances of spreading a potential flu virus to a family member or a stranger in the grocery market before. Why are we changing that behavior now?
In my area, they told everybody to wear a mask. So I had to go out yesterday, and half the people had their masks hanging down around their neck, just rolling their eyes about it and obviously nonplussed at having to have one. It was hilarious. In some ways, I love my neighborhood.
Exactly what I've been saying. Also if you wear the same mask all day you're not making yourself any safer. The reason masks work in a sterile, hospital environment is because they put on the mask right before entering the room and then throw it away as soon as they exit the room, aka, no cross-contamination.
Same thing with everyone wearing fucking plastic or rubber gloves and not changing them out between customers. You're still cross-contaminating, the only difference might be that you won't contaminate yourself (which is unlikely unless these people are taking them off before they touch their face, which I haven't once observed).
Giving everybody PPE and expecting it to be useful without any meaningful training is like giving a monkey a blowtorch and expecting it will be safe because you gave him a welding mask as well.
Whitless is an idiot. "We've seen the curve START to flatten" LIAR! The curve flattened in Michigan on April 7.
Muh it's going to snow anyway so I'll continue to infringe on your rights...
That one guy interviewed last nailed it on the head. Yes we need to be careful, but we need to get back to work. Otherwise, all we're doing is hiding from the virus.
Of course we're hiding from the virus. This is what people want. Including lots of people on .win and so-called conservatives of my acquaintance. They LOVE all the NEW RULES.
I hear you and I agree that we should go back to work. But the virus will go away, whether we go back to work or not. Seasonal outbreaks are seasonal. Yet another reason we should go back to work.
Step off with that racist crap. It's the DNC filling the ghettos with drugs and guns from south of the border. the rest is just domestics. Build the wall, crime will fall.
As it turns out, it wasn't the drugs, the ghettos, or the guns. Those are all side effects of the true cause. A lack of fathers. The left created a welfare system that destroyed black families by penalising fathers in the home. Study after study shows the number 1 predictor of criminal behavior is gender, but after that it isn't race, education, or poverty. It is whether or not there are 2 parents in the household.
Yes! Proud of you folks.
Are there plans for more?
When is the Virginia protest planned. Is it true their traitor governor extended the lock down through August? If so, that's insane. No way that will hold all summer long. Just no.
Across the country isn't locked down like all of Michigan. There are a few cities in other states that are, but by far that cunts whitmer has Michigan locked down tighter than any other state.
That's BS. If I had the means, I'd try to get them delivered and grow the biggest damn garden just to spite these wannabe tyrants. Such commies.
Good for Flint, MI. True Patriots that should't have to go through this, especially what they've been fighting for years on end with the water situation.
Fuck it, I reached around the tape, grabbed my tomato seeds and checked out. And, while Lowe's cancelled my order of gardening rocks thanks to that cunt in Lansing, Home Depot got them ready for pick up.
Lying tyrant bitch says "We're asking pepole to stay in their homes..." You're not asking anything, you're demanding, under penalty of fine and/or arrest that they stay in their homes.
I was driving home from the butcher yesterday and there was a giant traffic sign hovering over the highway that said "Stay at home order still in effect."
This is why Trump is opening up the country -- whether you believe the virus is over-stated or not, people are not going to accept being locked in their homes. It just isn't going to happen.
so nice to see the trump flags waving here. No "im with her" or pussy hats bullshit. When history is made, the patriots who helped usher back freedom will be memorialized with these videos. Independent media will keep us alive.
I welcome PEACEFUL patriotic protests all over the nation, especially in the "blue states" where our rights are being trampled upon with little (so far) push back.
Are they protesting only the Stay-at-home order or the tyranny of their governor? Also, what are the exact measures proposed that infuriated them so much?
She overstepped reasonable action when she banned "non-essential" items. She's not wise enough to define what's essential and what's not essential. She clearly put no thought into the expansion of the ban and is simply acting impulsively rather than being contemplative. All the hallmarks of a low IQ puppet installed into office by behind the scenes power brokers.
She clearly put no thought into the expansion of the ban
Nope. Quite intentionally smashed down on rational behavior (home improvement, churches, fishing, escaping hellholes) and left stupid behavior (liquor stores, pot shops, lottery) alone.
It already tried to stop 2A and was forced back. Thankfully also there's a part of the emergency law (of 1945!) that keeps it from trying a gun grab or it'd be a hot protest already.
Well crap, I had crossed Michigan off my property search. It turns out there are plenty of patriots there too.... alright, looking for land in Michigan...
Made the mistake of venturing to Facebook to see the crowd in front of the capital. Commented that I was proud to see people exercising their first amendment rights. Many were triggered.
In all seriousness though, it's scary to see how many people are just blindly accepting the complete government control that's taking place, and how many others are wishing that the protesters would get the virus and spread it to their families.
Media dude is reporting this as though all those cars are trying to get through, but some protesters are stopping in the street frustrating them and stopping normal traffic.
Lansing is in lockdown. No way in the world would there be that much "normal traffic"?
I think he's just avoiding admitting that in all those cars, as far as the eye can see are Michigan Patriots protesting Adolf Whitless's draconian edicts.****
I did not know Flint was doing this today. I was in Lansing, the town was at a standstill all main roads with in 2 miles of the capitol were stopped. you could get around on the side streets. Police are just starting to unravel it. Ha Ha. Our Governor "That woman from Michigan" Whitmer is no where to be found.
I just left there and that picture isn’t even a fraction of how big it actually was.
I'm looking for better images, but the news report I linked is better for grasping the scope of the protests. God bless you.
I don't see a link??
I posted it below, a link to a news clip

I don't blame them. I blame the Judge that came there to make the threat personal.
How do we go about removing these county judges that make unconstitutional decrees?
Bring Woody Harrelson's father back to life.
In Texas, it's the election ballot. The problem is, the Judges have considerable control over the election process. That's how they remain entrenched.
I found a great article and photo montage at Detroit News online thanks
It that reporter wearing his wife's bra?
Great clip. Brought a year to my eye! Maga!
I think he means the pic was from the news link
What am I looking at
Hope the police remembered their oath.
Thanks for protesting. Pitiful how some places (Raleigh) have banned our inalienable right to do so
NCpede here. I'm going to the next protest. They can take me to jail, I don't care. I've been there. They'll book me and I'll be out in 2 hours.
Tyrants consider the entire world their front lawn. Anything you do to subvert their authority scares the shit out of them.
And then you win a fat lawsuit
Paid in taxpayer dollars. :( But yeah, I encourage the pushback.
The KKK laws don't ever seem to apply to "antifa," so why not?
And have cameras ready to record the goon squads if they come in.
Based
Well yea. The charges will be dropped later. But they still lock you up now. And that’s enough to keep most people home for the time being
I guess it's good I don't live in Raleigh. I promise you, as much as I love the police, I would defend my 1st amendment right with my second amendment. And I'd hate, hate, HATE to do it, but it's just like tossing people in an oven, at SOME point it's on those following orders to stop.
I sincerely hope that I’m never forced to make that choice. But I know what the right choice is....
There is a tree that needs to be refreshed. The idea is not to have my blood do the refreshing, but theirs ...
This is not supposed to be an even swap. We are supposed to WIN, and take our Country BACK!
Yeah, obey Gretchen Ceausescu. Be good little proles. Right?
Normal people can’t work because that leftist cunt is shitting all over them. Are you stupid on purpose or just a weak troll?
... but... there is no one to block. That's the point of the protest. And they are also not allowed to physically congregate outside their vehicles.
If you ask me, this protest is a clever way to exploit the government's own rules against them.
Hint: People were going to work back then, so blocking roads with human bodies for a pet cause was non-nonsensically anti-social, and not directly connected to anything to do with the traffic being blocked. Now it's about freedom itself. It's about the ability to go to work at all. The cars are the safest way to protest en masse.
Wait, you'd March willingly into an oven because the prison camp guard told you to? It's a bill of RIGHTS, not motherfucking permissions. RIGHTS. We have the right to peacefully assemble. Those that would infringe upon those rights should do so at their own peril.

Hawaiian judge would.
gavel polishing intensifies
gavelinalienable rights ban hammerI would protest against not being able to protest. Makes it more fun.
I would hope you would get more people out after the ban than before.
People fucked up and got out of their car and walked on the capital. Local media is eating it alive.
Good. The country needs to see it. It's not just about protesting, it's also showing civil disobedience. The media is going to do everything in their power to prolong this hoax and demonize anyone who challenges it. People need to see others saying F-this, we're returning to free living.
Well said friend. I completely agree with you.
I'm so proud of Michigan today! There is hope for America.
Thank you Michigan Pedes.
The weather really screwed up aerial footage unfortunately.
Remember Hong Kong not long ago, we're getting there.
Great pic! It's not Flint, it's Lansing which is the state capital.
shieeeett my bad, upTrump for correcting my fake news
UpTrumps for everyone!
You idiot!!!! You probably also pronounce the capital of Kentucky as "Lew-iss-ville".
(it's pronounced "FRAYNK-fert")

Here's a clip from the local news explaining the situation
That first reporter kept touching his face to adjust his mask haha! I think masks are more dangerous than not wearing a mask because it causes people to touch their face. I see it everywhere I go.
Same amount of dangerous either way. Which is like next to none.
I'm not wearing those damn masks anymore, I never wore something on my face so uncomfortable in my life, the longer I wore it, my nose started getting stuffy, fuck that shit.
Thankfully all of this nonsense is almost over.
I refuse to wear one. This is just like how everyone responded to 9/11. Gave up their freedom and now let they let themselves be X-ray scanned by some stranger every time they want to board an airplane. I've always operated on the principle of "if you start changing the way you live your life because of something like this, then you've let fear win." I have always been a healthy individual before the China virus, I expect to be a healthy individual after. I won't wear a mask.
Nobody complained about the TSA. Now they want us to wear face coverings like Muslims.
Yeah so I should wear something uncomfortable and annoying everyday for the rest of my life on the slight chance that I might spread a germ to someone else?
Also if I have no symptoms like coughing or sneezing how do I spread the disease exactly? I'm not running around rubbing myself then rubbing other people's arms. I'm not in the habit of coughing or sneezing in the direction of other people even if I am sick. Nobody ever gave a shit about the chances of spreading a potential flu virus to a family member or a stranger in the grocery market before. Why are we changing that behavior now?
There are good ones like what they wear in Asia.
In my area, they told everybody to wear a mask. So I had to go out yesterday, and half the people had their masks hanging down around their neck, just rolling their eyes about it and obviously nonplussed at having to have one. It was hilarious. In some ways, I love my neighborhood.

What I mean to say is that the virus isn't going to just go away just because we sit in fear at home.
I hear you and I agree that we should go back to work. But the virus will go away, whether we go back to work or not. Seasonal outbreaks are seasonal. Yet another reason we should go back to work.
Alex Jones was right!
My dad and I planned on going but I actually had work today for the first time in a month so I did that instead. Proud of you bros
It's a "stay-in-car" protest, so they are
I think he’s referring to the people walking on the sidewalk in the photo.
Dozens of people congregated on the step of the capitol building. Not smart.
And vote 90-10 Democrat.
Step off with that racist crap. It's the DNC filling the ghettos with drugs and guns from south of the border. the rest is just domestics. Build the wall, crime will fall.
As it turns out, it wasn't the drugs, the ghettos, or the guns. Those are all side effects of the true cause. A lack of fathers.

Study after study shows the number 1 predictor of criminal behavior is gender, but after that it isn't race, education, or poverty. It is whether or not there are 2 parents in the household.
I'm banned on politics, so no can do
Facts are racist?
Nah.
Quoting stats is not racist. Racism is firing or attacking someone over their skin color instead of their character.
93 per cent of black victims were killed by blacks and 84 per cent of white victims were killed by whites.
Like I said earlier, it's domestics and gang related violence.
Someone else also said the key factor is lack of two parents, another seed sowed by the Democrats!
The more blacks walk away the more we'll see this change, have faith, men can only accept being chained so long
this is the way
god please do this in Jacksonville FL.
duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuvaaaall
not.this.
It’s a glorious Trump rally too! Look at those beautiful flags! OPERATION GRIDLOCK
Yes! Proud of you folks. Are there plans for more?
When is the Virginia protest planned. Is it true their traitor governor extended the lock down through August? If so, that's insane. No way that will hold all summer long. Just no.
VA needs this times 100. You're rights are slipping away and they ain't comin back
GO MICHIGAN! STOP YOUR COMMIE GOVENOR
This needs to happen across the country! Open back up!
Across the country isn't locked down like all of Michigan. There are a few cities in other states that are, but by far that cunts whitmer has Michigan locked down tighter than any other state.
Illinois is close behind, just got back from the store...cant even buy fucking garden seeds, all garden type stuff was sealed off
That's BS. If I had the means, I'd try to get them delivered and grow the biggest damn garden just to spite these wannabe tyrants. Such commies.
Good for Flint, MI. True Patriots that should't have to go through this, especially what they've been fighting for years on end with the water situation.
Going to do just that.
Fuck it, I reached around the tape, grabbed my tomato seeds and checked out. And, while Lowe's cancelled my order of gardening rocks thanks to that cunt in Lansing, Home Depot got them ready for pick up.
Virginia here. People just payed the fuck down and took it.
Lying tyrant bitch says "We're asking pepole to stay in their homes..." You're not asking anything, you're demanding, under penalty of fine and/or arrest that they stay in their homes.
Lying dictator cunt.
I was driving home from the butcher yesterday and there was a giant traffic sign hovering over the highway that said "Stay at home order still in effect."
It did not say please.
I just have the weirdest boner!
In Before Biden makes a call to that nasty women "you are off the list!"
I'm.. honestly impressed.
I did not expect this big of a turnout!
This is why Trump is opening up the country -- whether you believe the virus is over-stated or not, people are not going to accept being locked in their homes. It just isn't going to happen.
so nice to see the trump flags waving here. No "im with her" or pussy hats bullshit. When history is made, the patriots who helped usher back freedom will be memorialized with these videos. Independent media will keep us alive.

They are one in the same. The measures restricting business, free movement, gatherings of family, attendance of church...want me to keep going?
People starting to realize they're being ordered to stay home by people who rape and murder children in their spare time..
Tends to piss people off.
According to the trafffic op on Googlemaps, traffic in both Lansing and Flint are looking like that photo.
Watching this unfold on TV right now.
PROUD OF YOU MICHIGAN!
Thank you for representing what all decent Americans are thinking right now.
NICE, VERY NICE !
Trump sold rice to China. Now he's gotten people to sit in their cars in traffic...willingly. What the fuck is next?!
I could see the "stay-in-car protest" being a trend
Don't need to stand up, easier to hide your identity from journalists/antifa (same thing), can honk your horn
brb, buying the "bruh sound effect #2" horn
Can honk your horn. Count me in.
Until they ban horn honking like they did in CA
And NYC!
Everybody, masks UP!!

Omg look at all those idiots risking their lives!

Certain states deem protests as "not essential".
Certain states deem the 1st Amendment as "not essential".
FIFY
I'm so happy to see patriots fed up and finally on the streets. Never underestimate the power of sustained, visible protests to change government.
Well crap, I had crossed Michigan off my property search. It turns out there are plenty of patriots there too.... alright, looking for land in Michigan...
Taking down that nasty governor just as Biden is appointing her as his VP pick would be wonderful
The beauty of this thing was that it was a spontaneous TRUMP RALLY. Honest to God.
Whoever took this pic did so with a DJI drone with a badly calibrated gimbal. 😂

*Lansing not Flint
Pretty sure that this is in Lansing, the capital of Michigan
'Karen'...
Recall !!!!
so now to protest we create a traffic jam?? hahah this is great
They need to fix the corruption and water first.
Oh Mommy Governor is gonna be soooo mad.
God Bless these Patriots. This made my heart sing.
Made the mistake of venturing to Facebook to see the crowd in front of the capital. Commented that I was proud to see people exercising their first amendment rights. Many were triggered.
In all seriousness though, it's scary to see how many people are just blindly accepting the complete government control that's taking place, and how many others are wishing that the protesters would get the virus and spread it to their families.
Lansing Michigan*
Reminds me of the Hong Kong protests from 2 months ago. Eerily prescient were the signs that said "Support HK or Become HK"
Media dude is reporting this as though all those cars are trying to get through, but some protesters are stopping in the street frustrating them and stopping normal traffic.
