The final trial of suspects in a bizarre plot to kidnap Michigan's governor begins this week

Nearly three years after authorities foiled a bizarre plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, the last defendants accused of taking part go on trial Monday.

Eric Molitor and brothers William Null and Michael Null were among 14 men, described by prosecutors as anti-government extremists, charged in the scheme weeks before the November 2020 election. They were angered by Whitmer’s COVID-19 policies, which shut down schools and restricted the economy, investigators said in court filings.

    Lemmy users are even stupider than reddit users.

    It’s like they took the bottom 5% of the communists in reddit and moved them over here

      Yeah, at least half the posts in memes aren’t even memes at all. Just cringe statements like a 13 year old newly communist edgelord would make.

        Well look at that! Someone named “theyoyomaster” is calling people childish. 🤣

        With conservatives, every accusation is a confession!

          I mean, I created my standard username when I was starting highschool and haven’t changed it. Considering at the time I was literally being paid to yo-yo, it stuck. If your never ending need to project is that strong and all you have to counter what I’m saying is literally attacking a username then go ahead. Maybe one day you’ll grow up enough to realize that shit like this never convinces 3rd parties of your views.
