Michigan Gov. Whitmer faces protest outside her home as lawmakers mull curbing her powers
By Dom Calicchio | Fox News


Protesters gathered outside the home of Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Thursday -- the same day reports emerged that she plans to extend the state’s coronavirus stay-at-home order by two weeks until May 15.

The demonstration, dubbed “Operation Queen’s Castle,” featured an image of Whitmer wearing a crown, FOX 2 of Detroit reported.

“We wanted to send Gretchen Whitmer a message, we didn't want to surrender our liberties just for a little temporary safety,” Brian Pannebecker, who helped organize the protest, told the station.

Although May 15 may seem unreasonable for somewhere like the upper peninsula, it may be quite prudent for Detroit. That city might need even longer.

What to do...?

I'm surprised she didn't have the protesters gunned down.

Simple:  Let Deetroit be Deetroit, and Marquette be Marquette.  It's not rocket surgery.  I'll be mighty happy if Ducey does that in Arizona.  What works in Phoenix won't cut it for Oatman.
