Lawmakers were seen wearing bulletproof vests as armed protesters stormed Michigan's Capitol in Lansing just moments before the state's House of Representatives denied Gov Gretchen Whitmer's request to extend her state of emergency.

Photos from inside the Michigan House Chamber showed elected officials wearing bulletproof vests while men holding guns stood above them.

'Directly above me, men with rifles yelling at us. Some of my colleagues who own bullet proof vests are wearing them. I have never appreciated our Sergeants-at-Arms more than today,' Sen Dayna Polehanki tweeted Thursday afternoon.

In Michigan, guns are permitted inside the state's Capitol as long as they are visible and carried with lawful intent.

Protesters, who weren't wearing masks, were seen yelling within inches of officers from the Michigan State Police.

Others were heard chanting: 'Let us in! Let us in!'



quote:

Ultimately, the lawmakers denied the governor's request and passed a resolution authorizing the Speaker of the House to commence legal action, which will challenge the governor's actions during the pandemic. Whitmer is unable to veto the resolution.

Some people are waking up.

Probably not good.

Whirlwinds come from this.

Imagine being so selfish that you would rather endanger a country just to go back 17/hr packing boxes into trucks. Amazing

There appears to be a conflict in the law of the state of Michigan, where 1 law says that the governor requires legislative consent to extend emergency declarations and another says they don't. At least one state Rep (GOP) has said the law is on Whitmer's side, but other Reps are demanding a challenge to hash it out.

Yes guns can kill and I don’t trust a bunch of uneducated and enraged men with penis envy to make logical decisions.

May be a pussy but I’m not stupid. Arrogant and stupid gets you swept more easily than smart and a pussy.

Stay home, pussy. It’s a scary world out there.

Let us know how many shots were fired after you climb out from under your boyfriend’s skirt.

Would you say the same if these people are predominantly Muslims and blacks?

Interesting. How much less shite would citizens have to put up with in state offices if they were allowed to carry openly?

Just like New Orleans/Louisiana, Michigan reaps what they sow. Let it all burn down as the general public of those states realize what filth they have elected!
