We’ve seen enough of neutered police across America as rioters and looters have rampaged with virtual impunity of late. But this one in Lansing, MI might take the cake. An armed former prison inmate led a “peaceful protest” in recent days for “civil rights.” In reality, the “Free People of Lansing” obstructed traffic and brandished firearms against motorists while police looked on from nearby.
What’s more, the inaction by the local police nearby should surely raise questions aplenty for both local residents and people nationwide.
Paul Birdsong led the Black Lives Matter protest, one of his daily outings since the George Floyd killing, with a GLOCK on his hip and a bullhorn in front of his pie hole. The Lansing City Pulse recently profiled Birdsong:
Paul Birdsong didn’t plan to attend last Sunday’s protest in response to the police murder of George Floyd.
A week later, Birdsong, 34, has emerged as a vital and unyielding voice in Lansing, leading hundreds in peaceful daily protests at the state Capitol and facing off with Mayor Andy Schor on the mayor’s doorstep. He draws proudly upon the principles of Malcolm X in the town where he grew up and got his first taste of racist brutality more than 90 years ago…
Like Malcolm X, Birdsong pulled himself out of a rough life on the streets of Lansing and in prison. When he was younger, he joined the Bloods, a primarily black street gang founded in Los Angeles. He was the self-admitted “runt” of his gang.
“I was a little, skinny kid, but they all followed behind me. By the time I got locked up, I ran where I was at. I wasn’t all super huge,” he explained. “I don’t know why, man, but since I was a kid, people have gravitated towards me and followed me.”
Birdsong described his younger self as mean, violent and hating everything around him. To make it worse, his dad instilled a “fight-fight-fight” attitude in him. Eventually, he racked up four different inmate ID numbers.
Four different trips to prison and he’s open carrying a GLOCK, unchallenged by police?
We’re all about restoring firearm rights to reformed felons and have been since forever, but four trips to the big house? Eh, at some point enough is enough.
Watch the video excerpt from a Facebook Live broadcast from June 17th.
Why aren’t the police dispersing this group obstructing traffic? Why are police allowing members of the “Free People of Lansing” to not only obstruct traffic, but to menace others by pointing their guns at motorists who simply wish to drive through?
Clearly the police in Lansing have orders not to engage.
How long will incidents like this continue across America before real bloodshed occurs? Or are we simply witnessing the end of law and order in America’s cities?
Well, here is a question, where are the so called “patriots” or militia of Michigan?? If the police aren’t going to do their jobs, then the citizens should step up and do it. So all those “patriots” showed up armed at the capitol because they couldn’t get a haircut, but now that they are being threatened with deadly force by radical leftist, they are no where to be found????!!!!
See, the problem I have is that everyone is complaining about what these radical domestic terrorist are doing nationwide, yet not doing anything about it.
The minute that thug pointed his rifle at that individual, deadly force due to fear of ones life would be authorized or at least necessary.
Stop complaining about how you are witnessing the fall of our nation and our rights, if no one is willing to go to kinetic war with these terrorist!
The time for peaceful talking and negotiating is long gone. It’s time to negotiate and resolve our differences with the tools available under the 2nd Amendment!
Otherwise, plan to live under the tyranny the radical leftist envision for us all!
I totally agree with you. We Patriots sure like to talk the talk; it’s time to walk the walk and put an end to these radical idiots terrorizing innocent people and destroying things that the tax payers paid for. Every event these butt licking losers plan on attending, we need to attend and outnumber them by at least 10 to 1. It’s time. The police are either being told to stand down or they don’t want to get involved because no one will be there to back them up. They will be thrown under the bus by elected officials. PATRIOTS ITS TIME!!
Another thought:
If we are so worried about remaining “law abiding”, then what will we be abiding to when there is no more rule of law?!
There comes a time when you have to replace your inner “Sheepdog” with a “Wolfdog”! A Wolfdog will do what a Sheepdog isn’t willing or able to do.
I am a Wolfdog! What are you?
So what are you doing, other than commenting on a website? Why don’t you go up to MI and take your weapon with you and take care of it?
Sure, lets do it. But first let me know where you will be meeting me with your gear so we can go at it together.
I didn’t say Lonewolves. I said Wolfdogs. Wolves run in packs. So let me know when you will join mine. And while you’re at it, feel free to bring alone some friends.
From what I saw a few weeks ago in MI during the shutdown protest, there are plenty of “weapons” and people available to fight that fight. Maybe they should gear up again and handle their business!
I have my work cut out for me right here where it all started.

Well articulated and spot on Alpha Co. Lots of people run their mouths…… Few have the resolve to take the necessary actions. I stopped investing time on here trying to provide direction…… Instead I invested that time in preparation and training. I suggest anyone who is serious about their safety and freedom do the same. We are standing on the threshold.
The leftist thugs are funded by Soros and many corporations and well organized. How do we organize to stop them?
