Militia in Michigan - they had to close the Capital

[Jaga]

What is going on in Michigan is just like from the bad cowboy movie. The Michigan session had to be cancelled

Dozens of posts in private invitation-only Facebook groups called for Whitmer to be hanged, lynched, shot, beaten or beheaded. One suggested crowdfunding sources to hire a hitman to kill her.
Numerous other posts referred to Whitmer as a "Nazi," "spawn of the devil," "wicked witch," "Soros puppet," "baby killer tyrant" and more, according to the Detroit Metro Times. Others promised to attend upcoming protests "armed to the death" and without face masks, threatening to attack any police officers who dared confront them.

This is indeed extremely shocking of such a mindless, lawless mob allowed to threaten their very own Governor, Gretchen Whitmer and of their own police. My self would have never dreamt of such a situation to even be allowed in America with out response. Now that this mob has gotten away with such incident, then what next?

The Governor has as her options of use of the states military {National Guard} to take action in such situation as has unfolded. Since deadly force is indicated by both the threats and display of arms would in self justify the use of deadly force up on the manner of use by the National Guard as should be in such a mob situation.

In short, a complete disgrace in the eyes of the common good.

Karl,

thanks for your thoughtful reply. Even FoxNews does not support what is going on in Michigan, but unfortunately the law allows people to bring guns to the Michigan capital. As for the governor options, I remember now, this happened in the past with bringing the National Guard. Probably the governor doesn't want to alienate more people.
