Michigan protesters plan 'Operation Haircut' demonstration to push back against state's 'tyrannical' stay-at-home order
By Kaelan Deese - 05/16/20 02:16 PM EDT

Protesters against Michigan's continuing stay-at-home order are planning "Operation Haircut" to demonstrate against what they believe are "tyrannical" measures imposed by the state government.

The Michigan Conservative Coalition is organizing the demonstrations that are planned for Wednesday afternoon.

Local barbers and stylists will offer free haircuts on the Michigan state Capitol lawn while following safety guidelines, Fox 2 in Detroit reported.


The group previously organized "Operation Gridlock" last month at the Capitol, leading crowds of protesters outside the building while others stayed in their cars, honking in defiance of stay-at-home orders.

Meshawn Maddock, an organizer for the demonstrations, told Fox 2 the protests are "about our governor overreaching. It feels tyrannical what we are living under here in Michigan right now."

Sad state of affairs when we, the most civilized country on earth, has to beg our government for the right to get a haircut.

Cut my own hair since the military. Very short, of course. That makes it easy.
I've become quite good at it really. Practice makes perfect.

This is going to get worse before it gets better.

The more the protestors rightfully push back against the draconian measures implemented by the Governor...the more she digs her heels in and tightens the noose...and the protestors are even more enraged.

Round and round they go.  Something's gotta give.

Perhaps that is the point—push her so far that someone at the federal level steps in and makes her stop.
