Michigan Operation Haircut: Got major trim at capital lawn protest, providers got $1,000 fines At last, a dry (and beautiful) day for a Michigan protest. Operation Haircut was put on by the Michigan Conservative Coalition in conjunction with five or six barbers and stylists. All of whom got cited by the State Police. Please go here to donate to their legal defense fund. Karl Manke, a 77-year-old barber from Owosso was the inspiration for the event. He had his license pulled (Why is state permission required to cut hair?), because he refused to close when Whitmer lost her shit over his defiance. He made a brief moving speech before returning to his cutting station. A number of state representatives and senators took advantage of the event to get trimmed. Not Governor Whitmer, who broke her own orders at least once to have a "non-essential" stylist make a house call. I never saw more than maybe five hundred with anywhere from 10 to 20% of those waiting to get a cut. The atmosphere was jovial, and most protesters were not masked (always a surprise when some are), and no one was more than three feet away from another. Even the few counter protesters. A few open carry folks with AR-15s and .357s were around to keep law enforcement honest. Had some educational Q conversations with the curious. All in all, a great social event in an age when they are verboten. Good for the sanity. And we no doubt did much to feed leftist's soon to be frustrated wet dreams about us all catching SARS-COV-2 and dying.
