protesters arrested in Michigan
Posted: Mar 16, 2011
So now the thugs are in my state! No overnighters here in Lansing! Get out when the building closes or be arrested.
The group is called "Any Means Necessary." Really? Sounds kind of threatening to me.
State police arrest 11 protesters in Michigan Capitol confrontation
LANSING -- State police late today arrested 11 protesters after a day in which 3,000 to 4,000 people thronged the Capitol for a union-sponsored rally against Gov. Rick Snyder's budget proposals.
About 100 people, some from the group By Any Means Necessary, tried to stage an overnight sit-in at the Capitol, but police and Capitol building officials asked them to leave at 5:30 p.m. and again at 6 p.m.
The group, almost exclusively young people, chanted: "Whose House? Our House!" and "Together, united, we'll never be defeated."
But by 6:15 p.m., the group tried to push past police to open locked doors to let more protesters in, but they were blocked by police and refused to leave the building.
Police removed four people and pleaded with the others to leave before getting arrested.
Most of the protesters left, but five remained, sitting on the Rotunda floor, arms locked, ready to get hauled away by police.
The five were handcuffed, arrested and charged with trespassing and hauled to the Ingham County Jail in Mason.
A crowd of about 100 people surrounded the van carrying the five arrested men, chanting, "Let them go."
Before being arrested, Stephen Haynes, 28, of Almont, apologized to the police officers who had to stay in the Capitol long after the building closed.
"They're all missing their dinner," Haynes said.
In total, 11 people were arrested, 10 for trespassing and 1 for resisting arrest and obstructing a police officer. That person was caught trying to get into the locked Capitol through a bathroom window.
"The entire day went really well," said Michigan state Police Captain Gary Nix. "We had a lot of people here doing the American thing, speaking their minds. These last people were late coming and they had a different agenda."
Steve Bankovsky, director of facilities at the Capitol, said they got crowds last year when protesters hoping to end foreclosures tried to occupy the building, but eventually left.

[ In Reply To ..]Just so we are clear on this one thing, if these 2 dems are found guilty of these charges, they should be prosecuted and punished to the full extent of the law. There is no place for fraud in our election process, whether it be on the local, state or national level.
Speaking of election fraud in Michigan (just to mention a few), to what extent are GOP supporters willing to condemn the following?
2010 GOP State Convention. Credentialing, and vote count problems for GOP state convention delegates and the Secy of State ballot, no printed ballots as required by convention rules. "If any one of these problems had occurred at a public election, Republicans like L. Brooks Patterson, who presided over this debacle, and Ruth Johnson would be screaming about election fraud and disenfranchisement," observed Brewer. "Their silence and that of every other Republican leader demonstrates their hypocrisy...everyone else has to follow the rules, but rule-breaking, disenfranchisement, and election fraud are allowed inside the Republican Party. The State of Michigan should not sanction such activity."

Just curious.
who knows? - anon
[ In Reply To ..]I really don't know if they did or didn't, since I don't really have the energy to go back to a news story from 2004 or the others you cited and do the research to find out if Republicans have ever condemned those actions and then post what I found.
To be honest, at this point, I really don't care. They absolutely should condemn it. If they condone this type of behavior, they should be exposed and voted out - the party affiliation shouldn't matter, should it? I hope no one is saying anything different. It doesn't matter WHO is perpetrating the fraud, does it? Do you think both Democrats and Republicans should be exposed and voted out? Just curious.
Absolutely, and I said as much in the first post, so - why ask again?

MI State Police Chief: The entire day went really well. - A lot of people doing the American thing. sm
[ In Reply To ..]Be afraid. Be very afraid.
According to psychiatrist Franz Fanon, the victimizer will always attempt to tell the victim what methodology they should use in order to be liberated. Malcolm X knew this. Very scarey stuff. Dick Cheney subscribed to the same philosophy while covering his tracks by outting Valerie Plame. Guess when the veep does it while trying to justify a baseless war, not so scarey.
going well - icedT
[ In Reply To ..]That the entire day went well was in my post. I was making a point about the arrests when they wanted to close the building. Why do you have a problem with me pointing out the arrests? If there happened to be a Tea Party rally and almost a dozen people were arrested, would you make note of that? I'm guessing the answer is yes.
Be afraid? Me? Okay, I'll bite. What exactly should I be afraid of?
And Malcolm X? Do you really want to go there? There aren't enough hours in the day for me to respond to this and, unfortunately, I have to get back to work (that dang house payment). If I have time tonight, I'll be back (in no way did I want that to sound like former Gov. Arnold!)LOL
My question to you would be - sm
[ In Reply To ..]Why do you have a problem with my pointing out something you chose not to emphasize? You are free to emphasize the arrests, which I have no problem with. No need to be so defensive. I am also free to point out what the officer said. I am not in the habit of addressing ASSumptions (your tpot comments) made by a complete stranger about me.
"The group is called Any Means Necessary. Really? Sounds kind of threatening to me." Call me crazy, but when someone brings up the word threat, does it not imply fear, as in being scared? Your words, not mine. In fact this is many times the underpinning mantra of many tpot messaging. Specifically in this context, it is the implicit union thugs (last week's schtick)/criminals (this weeks schtick) who (along with their supporters) are being disparaged and will continue to be disparaged, dehumanized and cast as "the others" deserving to be outcast. My comment was meant to convey the fact that this transparent agenda has not gone unnoticed, though I do understand that tpots often do not always know when they are assuming the mouthpiece role for their puppet masters.
Evidently, the Malcolm X vs Dick Cheney analogy aimed at pointing out double standards flew right past you, as did the reference to Franz Fanon. Both men subscribed to the "by any means necessary" tenet, and Fanon's victimizer vs victim interpretation of it was right on the money. The group referred to in the article promotes affirmative action, integration, immigrant rights and (gasp) equality. Feel free to rale on and on about these decidedly American concepts being socialist-communist conspiracies.

[ In Reply To ..]Do you not feel the label "tpots" is disparaging. Talk about hypocrisy!
