Now lets see black people try that (with their guns). I've got a hundred dollars that says they won't even make it to the door.
Still playing your stupid race card? Here's the truth from another poster and I quote, "Black Lives Matter protests often devolve into riots, with stores being looted or vandalized and police and bystanders being attacked. To my knowledge, no such thing has occurred at a "reopen" protest. That's the difference".
What makes you think there weren't any blacks within that protest group?

Yeah because nobody wants to get shot by a moron. If these guys were so goddamn righteous they wouldn't have guns at all. Cowardly.
... Question is what do the people want ... do the people understand how the American debts are paid to their debtors? Do the American people understand what happens if they default on those debts ... ? Do the people think that the u.s. can just print money out of thin air and all will stay fine in their world?
Our country has stayed sovereign for a lot longer than most others; what happens next in this country will determine if that continues or this country goes under and the people can kiss the freedoms that they are taking for granite, good-bye.
Sooner of later the u.s. economy will collapse beyond repair; that's a given. The question is do people want to see that happen sooner ... or later? The choice is yours. As always, it will be the people's choice.

I didn't see these people storming the capital over the 2017 tax reform act that added to the deficit, are they protesting about the debt increase now is that what this is about.
So what happens to the economy if Whitmer removed all restrictions and the virus comes back as predicted, what then.
So the legislature is suing the governor to take away her power for extending restrictions, assuming they win do they have a plan. Today Michigan had 850 new cases and 154 deaths, are they ready to open businesses and schools.

It's a small group of people, in just one State, in these United States, that if their economy goes bust, they will (the whole State of Michigan) all be in the poor house together. The u.s. Constitution grants its people the right to petition their government and air their grievances. So yes, it is about our freedoms. People don't have a problem with the military defending the Constitution from foreign enemies, but they have a problem with people defending the Constitution from Domestic, when they are in error?
"Many of the demonstrators carried signs reading "Free Michigan" as they called out Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who extended the emergency order through May 15.
A contingent of gun-wielding men even filed into the legislative building as lawmakers considered ways to restrain the governor's powers — especially her ability to extend an emergency declaration.

"We can no longer allow one person to make decisions for 10 million people," said Michigan Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey."

If the governor has over extended their 'legal' authority, it is not the right of the people to take them to task? We are not China, where as there are armed personnel standing out on our streets to force us into our homes --- but you can keep working on it, if that is what you want to have happen. (trust rival countries are watching to see just what we do and if the American citizen is willing to kneel) In Michigan wants are simple --- they want to leave their homes, go back to work, put food on their tables and clothes on their backs, with a roof over their heads and keep their State above financial waters ...
On the broader scale ...the Federal level where as all States in these Unites States are effected by our economy and how well it holds up under pressure ... the u.s. is a debt based economy living off of credit. If Michigan's economy collapses ... it all just a house of cards, from there.
"... the U.S. Treasury Department has to issue Treasury bills, notes, and bonds. These Treasury products finance the deficit by borrowing from the investors—both domestic and foreign. These Treasury securities also sell to corporations, financial institutions, and other governments around the world.
By issuing these types of securities, the federal government can acquire the cash that it needs to provide governmental services. The national debt is simply the net accumulation of the federal government's annual budget deficits. It is the total amount of money that the U.S. federal government owes to its creditors. To make an analogy, fiscal or budget deficits are the trees, and the national debt is the forest."
And people can't see the forest for the trees ... not even sure if people have ever thought about it and how all this works. Asking what if the virus comes back (and it will) is like asking what if the drone comes back? It does no good to hide in your house ...
So civil unrest has begun. It's only going to escalate as "lockdowns" continue. Things are going to get so ugly. I fear for this nation.
