Hundreds of freedom-loving patriots, some of them armed with rifles, stormed Michigan’s State House on Thursday to protest stay-at-home orders — and melodramatic lawmakers wore bulletproof vests to protect themselves.
The protesters forced their way into the Capitol in Lansing to urge officials to end a state of emergency as Michigan continues to battle one of the worst outbreaks in the country. Thursday’s event reached a climax when Capitol police moved in to protect lawmakers as protesters tried to storm their way into the chamber, the Detroit Free Press reported.
In one scene, several men armed with rifles made their way into the public gallery and began shouting at senators on the floor beneath them, according to an account by one lawmaker. “Directly above me, men with rifles yelling at us,” Michigan State Sen. Dayna Polehanki wrote on Twitter, sharing a photo of the demonstrators. “Some of my colleagues who own bullet proof vests are wearing them. I have never appreciated our Sergeants-at-Arms more than today.”
