At what point, when your friend/neighbor/acquaintance starts rambling too far, do you remonstrate with them? Do you not because you’re afraid of them, because you want to avoid conflict?

The Grand Rapids shop, Vac Shack, has turned into an unexpected focal point of a foiled criminal conspiracy. “I’m in shock, I just wish it would go away.”

It’s only going to be a matter of time before Mr. Yutz will have been shown to know a lot more than he’s claiming. It beggars belief he thought there was nothing more than a weekly circle jerk going on there.

I guess looking and sounding like the kind of guy who could be so absolutely clueless about what’s happening in his own shop involving one of his long-time acquaintances and part-time employee … helps quite a bit when the feds come around.

“I told his mom, he’s gotta be insane if he did all this,” the shop owner added. “She got mad at me. But obviously somebody in their right mind wouldn’t do something like this.”

It was the crazy guy in the White House who made him do it.

A vacuum store is an appropriate place for fomenting this conspiracy when you consider it grew out of the Republican void in leadership, decency, intelligence, empathy, honesty, etc.

So I’m to believe that a store owner allowed a former employee to live in the store basement and allow groups of other men to come and ago from this basement and he never knew what was occurring? Find me one other business owner who would let strangers wander their store freely.

Any reporting as to whether he had security cams?

I could imagine it in some small towns. Former employee runs into hard times, needs a place to stay blah blah. Offers to keep the store safe from antifa looters.

And in these circles half the people they know probably talk about tyranny, race war, overthrowing the government, all that. Hell, I was chatting with some neighbors in the alley right here when the neighborhood crank walked up and started talking that shit. There was this lighting round of seeyalatertakecare and he was left standing there a moment later.

Deciding to kidnap governors is where you ‘cross the line’??? I’m sorry. I think taking up guns against your government and playing ‘militia’ is already showing your mental capacity…
