Here is another angle at the imbeciles in Michigan entering a police station with a rifle and who the press had no problem tagging as Open Carry Activists
And no, you did not get a felony arrest for filming but for being and asshole, and obstructing which in Michigan is a Felony:
750.81d Assaulting, battering, resisting, obstructing, opposing person performing duty; felony; penalty; other violations; consecutive terms; definitions.
Sec. 81d.
(1) Except as provided in subsections (2), (3), and (4), an individual who assaults, batters, wounds, resists, obstructs, opposes, or endangers a person who the individual knows or has reason to know is performing his or her duties is guilty of a felony punishable by imprisonment for not more than 2 years or a fine of not more than $2,000.00, or both.
( “Obstruct” includes the use or threatened use of physical interference or force or a knowing failure to comply with a lawful command.)
Ouch! There is even video of both of them failing to comply to a lawful command… or they have to prove in court that the command was not lawful, and that kiddies is not so easy as they give cops a lot of latitude on that issue.
Now, I might be called and asshole, but I do hope that at least the moron with the rifle gets 366 day for his stunt. He will be used as example to scare our crappy legislators into not passing Open Carry in Florida in the near to mid-range future. A felony conviction is a decent payment for sabotaging Florida Gun Owners’s chance to OC.
PS: In my opinion, PINAC (Photography Is Not A Crime) parallels the Southern Poverty Law Center: They began with noble intentions, managed to do some initial good, but now it is just a bunch of assholes looking for notoriety and cash.
These guys are a complete disgrace. This isn’t 2A activism; these guys are idiots on par with the Antifa movement and various other whack jobs.
After watching the sausage being made several times now…
These idiots have zero additional negative effect on our legislature.
Nor did Texas Open Carry.
Michigan Open Carry immediately denounced these goofballs. Fortunately, DPD acted with restraint and did not allow these idiots to become martyrs to the legal system or martyrs of the more permanent type.
It’s nice to see that Silicon Graybeard isn’t as quick as you to throw people under the bus, and just take the initial police reports of the situation at face value.
With friends like you, who needs enemies.

You have me wrong, I don’t want to throw them under the bus.. However under the tracks of a Caterpillar bulldozer is appealing to me.
