Anarchotyranny Police Neutered: Armed ‘protesters' In Lansing, Mi Obstruct Traffic, Point Guns At Motorists [video]
2020-06-25
[TruthAboutGuns] An armed former prison inmate led a “peaceful protest” in Lansing, Michigan in recent days for “civil rights.” In reality, the “Free People of Lansing” obstructed traffic and brandished firearms against motorists while police looked on from nearby. Inaction by the local police should surely raise questions aplenty for both local residents and people nationwide.

Paul Birdsong
...age 24 34, former Bloods gang leader, four time convicted jailbird, proud follower of Malcom X...
led the Black Lives Matter protest, one of his daily outings since the George Floyd killing, with a GLOCK on his hip and a bullhorn in front of his pie hole. The Lansing City Pulse recently profiled Birdsong:

Why aren’t the police dispersing this group obstructing traffic? Why are police allowing members of the “Free People of Lansing” to not only obstruct traffic, but to menace others by pointing their guns at motorists who simply wish to drive through?

Clearly the police in Lansing have orders not to engage.

There are no shooters for two reasons.
1. This is largely a media event. The crowds/rioters are not large. They number in the 100’s not 1000’s. Look at the video, not as many routers as you think. The local liberals are stirring the pot to cause problems for Trump. Nothing else. It would be easy to defend a statue.
2. Like most of us on the burg , we have too much to lose to physically fight the punk mobs. The liberals would make a media event of righty’s picking off a few rioters. For instance Raj goes out and pushes a rioter to the ground. Suddenly the accountant from Boston is running a right wing extremist group and plans to kill all good BLM. They hang Raj and his family and his family’s family. They protest at his moms house. Kick her doors in. Big city police ignore.
This is a big city problem. Let the rot in their filth. Eat their own. When they get to the suburbs then it’s out turn. But they will never get there. They know better. D
This is fodder for the left and the right. Most of America will vote for law and order.

#18  I know a guy that does Bail Bonds. We were talking today - he has a guy who called him that's in for Felony Assault with a deadly weapon. Bail is $1. He said screw that - no profit in that. Apparently nobody in the guy's family will put up the $1 and it's not his first offense. San Diego County. WTF?

#17   How, at the age of 24,

Whoops! My fault for the typo — he is actually 34, a decade older. I’ll fix that right now.

Your point still holds, Vernal H — Mr. Birdsong is indeed unusually ambitious for his chosen profession.

#15  The basic demand of the populace is still wrong.

Nobody needs to 'disperse' anybody. You have them all there, every summbitch cop hating criminal in neatly packed clusters. They're armed and agressive. There is no court under the sun who can protect them if the thousands of gun owners and trained vets decide to retaliate. All those gun rack purchasers and NRA members come out and start killing, or we are watching the intermediate stages of America's balkanization and takeover by uncivilizable locusts.

The majority simply need to make up their minds. And minority communities - black, red, brown, yellow, pink and gold - their ambition to take over needs to be crushed violently. All affirmative action and inclusion bullshit needs to be stripped away. If white people have a psychological distrust of the darker skinned, so be it. It's universal. They must learn to live with it, and try to live above the white people, not raging against the majority trying to upend civilization over it.

For heaven's sake, you've given us the napalm and agent Orange indecencies, Herb's dead goat herders, the Red Indian genocides, the taliban monstrosity, mother f$%#ing Hiroshima ! What's a little domestic culling to save the Republic ? Please come out of this faggot guilt over some cotton farms, Uncle Sam, and teach the enemy to beg for life again.

#14  The one with the bullhorn is almost always the sniper's primary target.

#13  How, at the age of 24, can he have been convicted four times, and have gotten out already? What the heck is going on here? Is he lying about his age? Was he convicted of a couple of misdemeanors or tried as a kid? Usually sentences start going up dramatically after conviction number 2.

Unless, I suppose, he was supposed to be serving an extended sentence and our wise Governor let him, along with hundreds of others, out because of the Chinese Flu.

#2  Four different trips to prison and he’s open carrying a GLOCK, unchallenged by police.

In most places, that would earn you another trip to the pokey for being an armed felon.
