This is terrorism, plain and simple. Open carry laws do nothing other than to let gun loving extremists control public spaces and intimidate anyone who might want to counterprotest into silence.

In Lansing, a group of
#COVIDIOTS are protesting in the State Capitol. As it was two weeks ago, people from counties with little#COVID19 are spending hours mingling with people from hard-hit cuties (e.g., Oakland and Wayne) with no social distancing.Show this thread -
These
#COVIDIOTS will then head home, to bring#COVID19 with them to all parts of the state, there to spread it. These aren't just fools. They are fools dangerous to public health and to everyone around them, particularly the gun-toting fools.Show this thread -
Be safe,
@SenPolehanki, both from#COVID19 AND the gun toting#COVIDIOTS.Show this thread -
One last thought. Have you noticed how...monochromatic...these
#COVIDIOTS are? Can you imagine how much different the law enforcement response would have been if a gang of gun toting people of color had gathered around the Capitol Building? I can.Show this thread -
OK, one more thought: My friends and Twitter followers from elsewhere in the world look at scenes like this and conclude that America has gone mad. It's hard to argue with them when militia members, who are basically fascist, can walk into a state capitol brandishing firearms.

I have to walk away from Twitter for at least a couple hours, maybe the rest of the day. Seeing
#COVIDIOTS endangering public health and intimidating legislators like this is bad for my blood pressure.Show this thread -
OK, I broke my vow, but only because someone forwarded me a link to this Tweet with this meme. Perfect,

This is not my beloved city of Lansing...it's disgusting.

I'm guessing most of the protesters aren't from Lansing, although I bet a some of them are from not too far away from Lansing.
