I’m wearing my shaggy head and beard with pride now. When people start dying because of these selfish pricks, I can point to it and say, “Don’t look at me. I stayed the fuck home.”

So, I guess being associated with the Oklahoma City bombing wasn’t enough for the Michigan Militia?

“With limited resources, staffing and facilities, our priority focus will be on enforcing duly passed laws for the protection of Shiawassee County citizens,” he wrote. “I have decided, within my authority, that our office cannot and will not divert our primary resources and efforts towards enforcement of Governor Whitmer’s executive orders.”

So the good sheriff if Nottingham, er Shiawassee County is the sole arbiter of what’s legal? Does that mean an he is the judge and jury of all cases that happen in Shiawassee County?

Stand outside and demand that everyone who chooses to enter sign a DNR and refusal for medical care.

Why expose the healthcare workers to the viral results of stupidity? Save the beds and vents for people who get ill despite observing the stay at home orders.

Petulant pricks. I await the satisfaction of reading their obituaries as I savor a nice 12 oz. triple flat white.

I mean if you’re going to defy the rules then either defy them all the way, or at least look competent and abiding by the health regs while doing it.

“Yesterday six troopers came in to enforce the governor’s order or to issue a cease or desist order so we are here to make sure he doesn’t get arrested,” militia member Daniel Brewer told local outlet Mid-Michigan Now. “We’re willing to stand in front of that door and block the entrance so the police will have no entry there today.”

If cops get shot because the White militia decided rules don’t apply to them and they’re willing to kill some LEO’s for “the cause”, don’t expect this elderly White sh*thead to have any remorse whatsoever. After all, he had nothing to do with it! It’s not like it’s his fault they were gunned down.

“I’ve always worked,” Manke said. “I never looked for handouts; I don’t know what they are.”

If by handouts he means unemployment or some other safety net, then yes I believe he doesn’t understand the concept of putting other’s needs first. Also nice mask technique.

As counter-productive as it is, it’s become something of a fashion in NYC.
It’s like treating the mask as a lucky charm.
Unfortunately, having it on your person isn’t what makes it work.

They say wearing a mask and not covering your nose is like wearing a condom with the tip cut off.
