Whitmer Admin Sics Michigan Cops on 77-Year-Old Barber Defying Shutdown

[ubettcha]

Manke told ABC 12 he reopened after unemployment benefits were denied three times.


He has been cited for violating the shutdown order, and supporters have stepped up to pay the fines.


On Friday, state police showed up with an order from Whitmer’s administration to close.


“Today Michigan Department of Health and Human Services Director Robert Gordon acted under the authority granted to him by state law to issue an order that is necessary to correct conditions that pose an imminent threat to the health or lives of people in Michigan,” the department said in a statement to NBC 25.


“The order requires Karl Manke’s Barbershop in Shiawassee County, which overtly defied Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s order, to immediately close to the public.”


Despite the legal threats, Manke vowed to stay open as long as he can.


“Whatever way it is, they’re going to have to drag me kicking and screaming out of this building,” he told ABC 12.


“If the barbershop does not comply with the order, the state will ask a judge in Shiawassee Circuit Court to issue a temporary restraining order,” the department said. “If such an order is issued and the barbershop owner fails to comply, he can be held in contempt of court.”


Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel also weighed in:

Mr. Manke was given every opportunity to voluntarily comply with the Governor’s Executive Order and the order of the Michigan Department of Health & Human Services Director. As a result of his continued operation, today his business was deemed an imminent danger to the public health and ordered to be shut down by the DHHS Director. If he refuses, the Department of Attorney General will request an order from the Shiawassee County Circuit Court on Monday to close his business. Mr. Manke’s actions are not a display of harmless civil disobedience. His actions are counterproductive to the collective effort businesses and communities everywhere have made to slow the spread of COVID-19, and by opening the doors to his business, he’s putting the lives of many more Michiganders at risk.

Unfortunately thats the price we pay for being " Free " or shall we say the illusion of Freedom. Please explain to me how is it possible for 535 people to control 350 million people. Maybe the Constitution was only good for 50 or 100 years and maybe the intent was after the ink faded on it that it had to be fought for again........

Michigan Militia says they won't allow police to enter Owosso barber shop

OWOSSO, Mich. --- It's day six of 77-year-old Owosso barber Karl Manke defying Governor Whitmer's orders and opening his shop. Dozens of people are still gathering outside the business to show support. Saturday morning there was a line of more than 15 customers outside the door waiting for...

Members of the Michigan Militia say they will take action to keep Manke from going to jail.

"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. We're willing to stand in front of that door and block the entrance so the police will have no entry there today," said Owosso resident, Daniel Brewer.

Remember the part in Unintended Consequences where the dry cleaner owner is forced out of business cuz the epa? This reminds of me of that part.... didn’t work out good for the epa dude in the end.

Just remember, that the COTUS & BOR, are in climate controlled cases, it's far from faded and still means what it means. It's probably close to time to give a History "lesson". Mac

The cunt needs to be recalled or voted out of office, unless Biden picks her to be VP.

This virus is fucking amazing. It can't enter into a Walmart, Lowe's, Home Depot, Kroger's, Gas station, liquor store, abortion clinic, the governor office but somehow it goes rampant in a barber shop?
I have new respect for this man made bug.

You fuckers in Michigan need to grow a pair and start protection for the businesses that say fuck you to the government.

The unfortunate truth here, is that one doesn't need to only have Cancer, to require 'opiates' daily. Just to live and function.

Reminds me of a good freind of mine niece.

Take my statements as you wish. I think the point was pretty clear, and I'm not going to tie myself into knots trying to satisfy every possible exception. To paraphrase Henry Ford - if people think they do or don't need something to get through the day, then they're right.

Do we have a Cali militia? Elon in cuffs? I think he would like that.

Elon Musk says the company would restart production at its California factory in defiance of a local county order prohibiting it from doing so.

“Tesla is restarting production today against Alameda County rules,” Mr. Musk said on Twitter. “I will be on the line with everyone else. If anyone is arrested, I ask that it only be me.”

Any of you that live close to this guy’s shop need to get your fucking haircut here. And do it with a concealed glock(or whatever floats your pistol boat) and open carrying something slung across your back. Civil disobedience, as peacefully as possible, is the only way to stop this. Groveling at the feet of your overlords isn’t going to do anything

The People of the State control the State not elected officials elected to follow the will of the people. Do you believe that nazi cunt knows what is best for your family, do you believe that nazi cunt is concerned at all about you and your family? If you do then stay in the pasture as your Shepard leads you to slaughter you walking lamb chops.

Start with changing one word. They are not elected OFFICIALS. They are elected SERVANTS!

...and they could give a living fuck about any of US. We didn't elect them - they were appointed by people with more money than God and we think our vote counted.

They suck - all of them. What's the Plan? I don't do what they say - I go to jail and my Family starves. Love to fight back...what's the Plan?

There's really only one plan and thats the nuclear option so we can start from scratch again. Foundering Fathers knew back then it takes blood to keep the tree of liberty alive, nothing else will work.

I am talking hypothetical only not suggesting anything....... The reason why 535 people can control 350 million is because you probably need at least 500 people to "push back" on the "kings men" I ain't talking some protest , holding up signs, and writing your overlords begging for your rights bullshit. It is going to take enough patriots united standing together and willing to make the ultimate sacrifice. We all know what really needs to be done, but we can't really discuss it can we.........

Good read.
Cliff’s note version: Democrats in the 40’s were corrupt and stealing elections. Brave men stood up and reclaimed what was theirs using force as it was necessary. The media worked for thr Democrats and lied for them to push a narrative. The good guys won, but the corrupt weren’t held accountable in the end.

Same that is happening today. Lets change the last part though so history doesn’t repeat itself.

I'm not an Elon worshipper or idoler by any stretch of the definition, but I respect how he calls it like it is.

He was spot on about the COVID-19 and the resulting government response and how it's eroding freedoms on his recent appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast, mirrors mine (and a lot of people's here) opinion on how this is dangerously being handled.

 

[BytorJr]

They won't arrest him, not a chance. Not a huge Musk fanboy, but he would be the absolute worst enemy of the press and california should he get arrested. Sad to think a guy from South Africa who still holds citizenship in Canada and South Africa understands COTUS better than a majority of Americans and about 99.9% of politicians.

So lets recap incase people needed some highlights on whats been going on in more cases than just this. I'm not talking specific occurances, but rather, generalizations to help you plan in the future.

- The government, in any shape or form, is not coming to help or bail you out in any meaningful way. If your plan includes 'get help from the government/state/city' your plan sucks. Plus, do you really want the braintrust of retards that these organizations are comprised of 'helping' you?

- Most of individual citizens' problems will ironically be caused by the same government and almost always under the repeated guise of safety. The more times you hear the word safety/safe, the more fucked you are going to be. I for one, especially since 9/11, basically want the exact opposite of what is considered 'safety' as you are actually less safe from it. Funny how that works.

- While there are great LEO's, going off of statistics and based on things like the SCOTUS 'no duty to protect you' ruling, if your plan includes either the police keeing you 'safe' (theres that word again) and/or assuming that your police are the 'good guys' in that they won't follow questionable/outright illegal orders they are given, your plan again, sucks. LEO philosophy over the last decade has devolved into 'if its not illegal, take it to court and let the judge figure it out' at best, to downright following any order because they are 'doing their job', and who doesn't like a great dental plan? Outside of a few good ones, the police are not on your side.

- Take a page from the illegal aliens' playbook; make something that is 'illegal' both commonplace as well as 'too big to fail' by not hiding it and en masse, openly mocking it. This becomes the new normal. Only people who defy things in ones and twos are taken down and made examples of.

If anyone continues looking at the state as a benevolent force then there will always be confusion and frustration, that’s not their job. As soon as you start looking at the state for what it really is, a malevolent force that transfers wealth from the bottom up and lusts after power, will anything really make sense
