Michigan Secretary of State Says Armed People Stood Outside Her Home

[Granule]

The Michigan Secretary of State says that she and her family faced harassment this weekend over the results of the 2020 presidential election.

“As my four-year-old son and I were finishing up decorating the house for Christmas on Saturday night, and he was about to sit down to watch How the Grinch Stole Christmas, dozens of armed individuals stood outside my home shouting obscenities and chanting into bullhorns in the dark of night,” Jocelyn Benson (D) said in a statement on Sunday night. “I have always been an energetic advocate for the right and importance of peaceful protests as enshrined in the United States Constitution, however there is a line crossed when gatherings are done with the primary purpose of intimidation of public officials who are carrying out the oath of office they solemnly took as elected officials.”

“They shouted baseless conspiracy theories about the election, and in videos uploaded to social media, at least one individual could be heard shouting ‘you’re murderers’ within earshot of her child’s bedroom. This mob-like behavior is an affront to basic morality and decency.”

Poor bitch. I hope she'll somehow find some peace in this COVID stricken country.

so a mob of angry people shouting at you from 50 feet away wouldn't make you feel threatened?

If you were in a group of people walking by a house and the owners came out and started waving guns at you, would you feel threatened? You don't seem to want to acknowledge that the McCloskey house wasn't the destination of the group.

Funny, I saw videos and never saw this so-called attack. Did you see something that was hidden from the rest of us?

Denial of history. Argument of ignorance fallacy.

Translation: No videos of an attack.

If a mob of angry people marched down the street in front of my house, I don't care who their intended target is, i'm walking out with my rifle as a warning to just keep on walking........take no chances with your property or your life

Which raises a question I've been meaning to ask someone on the right. You guys are all about gun rights, 2nd amendment, open carry etc. so why is this a negative when it's BLM, antifa or New Black Panthers carrying guns, but not when white supremacists, the Proud Boys or home-grown militias do?

Was she scared

Hmmmm..maybe Mark and Patricia McCloskey were also!

Here's a newsflash for you. In PA repubs just lost their appeal to SCOTUS. Are you guys going to trash Barrett, O'Kavanaugh and Gorsuch now?

No.

It isn't. It's the burning and pillaging I have a problem with.

They are basically a bunch of terrified and worthless miserable pussycats that basically amounts to being the proud basement booty boys. After they had their rant, its back to tossing the salad in the basement.

So that would have been the best solution here, correct. She should have come out with an AR-15 and told the angry mob to move on? That your position?

No you won't. You haven't taken a single libertarian position on anything. You are a right wing fanatic.

that would be the USMC negotiation method, yes.

go sit back in your corner, snowflake

As usual, nothing of substance from you.

I guess you would prefer the wild west, where we just draw guns and shoot each other for no reason other than hurt feelings. Thanks, I'll pass.
