Blocking public roadways and highways in an act of mass protest could saddle groups expressing their First Amendment rights with misdemeanor charges, heavy fines and possible jail time under a Republican bill discussed Wednesday by a Michigan House panel.

House Bill 4664, sponsored by state Rep. Alicia St. Germaine (R-Harrison Township), was before the House Judiciary Committee, which adopted a substitute altering the bill but took no further action after hearing testimony.

Right, bad term to use around right-wingers, since… well, you know…

People who have demonstrated that they are a danger to themselves or others. People who have been convicted of a violent crime. People with a very clear mental disorder like schizophrenia. People with dementia.

Guess what, they should also be able to defend themselves. Anarchists want everyone armed to cease tyranny whenever it crops up. And what's happening in 🇺🇲 is absolute maoist tyranny.
And it's working.
Chairman Donald is sending genocide protestors first to the Laogai/劳改 as “illegal cartels,” and 🇺🇲s are letting it continue.
Clearly “members of gangs” should be abducted at gun point with masks without due process and forced to work to death in horrible conditions without being able to defend themselves, right fellow rebel/MAGA?
