Rep. Neil Friske released from jail amid investigation into sexual assault, gun charges

https://www.freep.com/story/news/politics/2024/06/21/michigan-neil-friske-charges-assault-weapon/74167129007/

This is the sober, clear-eyed proper reporting of the incident. The much more fun-to-read-one is over here.

TL;DR: far-right freedom-cockus nutjob state house member arrested at 3am chasing a stripper with a gun. Allegedly. No word yet if we can expect a ‘ten-commandments-in-schools’ bill from said nutjob.

Read the fun-to-read-one.

It sounds like a scene from a Coen Bros or possibly a Tarantino movie and the difference hinges on the use of, and the number of N-words.

52 is already at its limit, I think he'll be page 53 of Republican sexual predators, abusers, and enablers.

"Friske is always exercising his 2nd Amendment right."

...to shoot at strippers?

As Jesus taught us to do.

Sounds like someone ignored the obvious sign that this guy needed to be patted down to check him for weapons.

Oh he wasn't in da club, he was running around outside. One imagines in his tighty-whitey underwear, shitfaced and screaming, firing a gun wildly in anger at a woman who is not his lawfully wedded wife. Allegedly.

frisk • The act of frisking, of searching for something by feeling someone's body. 

The customs officer gave me a frisk after I went through the metal detector.

If they’d found anything before his shenanigans, this story about Mr. Friske could have been posted here: https://feddit.uk/c/nominativedeterminism
