Militia in Flint calls for justice in water crisis
Source: USA Today
Flint may have seen multiple rallies in recent weeks that called attention to the city's water crisis — but few if any were as surprising as a rally held by the Genesee County Volunteer Militia.
On Sunday afternoon, about 30 militia supporters clad in camouflage gear and bearing “Don’t Tread on Me” flags, gathered outside of City Hall to demand accountability amid a national discussion over how the city’s water supply became contaminated.
“We’re here to defend this community," said Matthew Krol, the militia's executive officer, addressing the crowd in a full camouflage outfit with a handgun strapped to his hip. “We’re not going to allow (the government) to step on the people of Flint any longer.”
He added: “If it means having to take up arms in defense ... we will do that as well.”

Just when you think you'd seen it all....perhaps Hell has frozen over.
Still, this is an interesting development. Imagine if all that anger and anti-government sentiment the militia nuts are harboring were to become channeled against officials breaking the law and seemingly getting away with it like the Michigan Governor who poisoned all those children.
Can vigilante justice be far behind?
Or...horrors for the powers behind the throne...what if the brainwashed masses have an awakening and figure out that some government regulation is a good thing (like regulating polluters) and that they may have some things in common with the oppressed people of Flint? If the right-wingers start calling for justice for Flint, that could be the start of a profound shift in thinking--and one that might be harder for the GOP to ignore.

I guess they haven't figured it out yet that "they" got this entire criminal enterprise in FLINT and in Michigan get elected, with there help.
There principles are what, at the this moment?
Your about year and half to late, and about six years to late when this governor got elected, figure it out yet. Your part of the problem
Maybe they should be directing there anger at the simple fact they they have "city managers" running the governments, you know, in a lot of ways , no in fact, these "Don't Tread I me " hypocrites should have this squarely placed on there shoulders along with anyone and I mean anyone that voted in this corrupt legislature, Attorney General, Governor and the courts as well.
So before looking for blame------------------first of all look at your self in the mirror--------------you voted this hypocrite into office and anyone else and you supported this mantra and this quote:
"I'm a proud Republican - there's no issue with that at all, so why can't I be a proud Republican and just try to solve problems?"
Because, they, after all, they don't think that a government is legal unless the sheriff is running the show , look no further than the dead beats called Bundy---------------welcome to your Twilight Zone
You now have a problem that is self induced and man made------------------poisoning and deaths cause by contaminated water
Honk--------------------for a political revolution
It is about getting a Progressive President, U.S. Supreme Court, Congress, and State and Local legislatures
