Armed Protesters Show Up to Protest Safety Precautions. [View all]

They show up with signs and stand right next to each other, armed to the teeth. Armed? For what reason. Nobody seems to care that they're there. Nobody's threatening to arrest them. Most people are staying home and trying not to catch COVID-19. Dumbwad J. Trump is Tweeting "Liberate" this state and that state, but only states with Democratic Governors. He likes those armed folks, I guess.

Personally, I think they look pretty silly. There they stand on the State House steps in Michigan, armed against who the Hell knows what. Nobody else is there. Nobody else cares. Maybe their protest against social distancing and hygiene will work against them in some way. Ain't none of 'em look very clean to me.
