This frustrated Michigan pilot gives a literal flying you-know-what about his governor’s lock-down order.

Ed Frederick, 45, spent about an hour charting a path over Grand Rapids that spelled out this message for Gov. Gretchen Whitmer: “F U,” with an arrow pointing directly over the governor’s mansion.

Frederick said he was inspired to hop in a propeller plane Friday morning after Whitmer announced an extension of the state’s emergency lockdown order through May 28.

“It’s a power trip,” Frederick told The Post.

“The government, no matter Democrats or Republicans, always seem like they’re trying to do something just to prove they’re doing something, without weighing the ramifications.”

Frederick, who lives just outside Grand Rapids, said he owns a small business with his sister, and explained that he believed a lockdown was unnecessary for the entire state, considering the largest concentration of cases were in the southeast region around Detroit.

Alright, this is over where I live. Good man.

This man is an absolute legend. I'll be telling stories about this years from now. People need to get heading over to the governors mansions and protest and make it so they can't leave.

Michigan Gov Extends 'Stay At Home' Order 2 Weeks

Update (1800ET): Get ready for another round of "reopen now" protests in Lansing.

Roughly 24 hours after announcing a relaxation of the state's stay at home order to permit appointment-only shopping and gatherings of under 10 people, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer extended the state's stay at home order for another two weeks, giving the stock market something to panic about when it reopens on Tuesday.

Many had expected Whitmer to extend the order, albeit with fewer restrictions. During a press briefing, she insisted that while the data are moving in the right direction, "We are not out of the woods yet." The order, which was set to expire on May 28, will instead expire on June 12.

Notably, Whitmer is making this decision - which will lead to more economic devastation and destroyed livelihoods in a critical midwestern swing state that President Trump narrowly won in 2016 - one day after President Trump, who has repeatedly lambasted the governor on twitter, paid a visit to a Ford Factory in the state, where he again refused to wear a mask (something he insists would be "un-presidential"), arousing the anger of the state's attorney general.

The order has been partially relaxed in the northern part of the state, and manufacturing has also been allowed to resume on a limited basis.

Here's more from the Detroit Free Press:

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Friday extended her stay-at-home order past its scheduled May 28 expiration to June 12, adding that public venues such as theaters, gyms and casinos would remain closed.

She said while coronavirus cases and deaths are clearly declining, "we are not out of the woods yet."

"If we’re going to lower the chance of a second wave and continue to protect our neighbors and loved ones from the spread of this virus, we must continue to do our part by staying safer at home," she said in a statement first reported by the Free Press.

Whitmer's announcement comes a day after she made several changes to further relax a sweeping stay-at-home order that has been in place since March, allowing social gatherings of 10 people or less immediately and telling retail businesses that sell goods they can reopen to customers for appointment-only shopping Tuesday.

That change also allows for nonemergency dental and doctor services to resume next Friday and Whitmer said Thursday that she would continue to relax the order as warranted by the data. She had previously allowed some retail businesses, such as garden stores and bicycle repair shops to reopen, and at 12:01 a.m. Friday, bars, restaurants and other businesses and offices on the Upper Peninsula and in northern Michigan around Traverse City, could open to customers, provided they limited their customers, made sure people stayed 6 feet apart and required masks.

Manufacturing and construction have resumed as well, under strict regulations. But many parts of Whitmer's rules — which have been challenged in court and led to protests at the state Capitol — continue to disrupt the lives of Michiganders.

Yes, the state should stay closed indefinitely!

Imagine how many traffic fatalities could be eliminated if people just stayed at home.

People are safer, staying at home.

There is some Democrat “science” for you. It doesn’t matter how long she keeps Michigan shut down right now. If a second wave happens, it will come to Michigan. No exceptions.

Ingham County Health Officer Linda Vail said she issued a cease-and-desist order that was served on the business Friday.

"My understanding is that they have closed," Vail said on Friday night.

Named in the order were Fantasies Unlimited and Club Tabu, which occupy the same storefront on South Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, north of West Holmes Road, Vail said.

Vail said her action came about a week after the business was served with a warning letter from Ingham County Prosecutor Carol Siemon. Vail issued the cease-and-desist order after learning the club was still open, she said.

The operation is not on the list of essential businesses allowed to be open under Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's emergency orders, Vail said. As of Friday night, the business had not been cited for violating the emergency orders, Vail said.

"We have law enforcement folks who are willing to go out and visit the business (to make sure they remain closed), she said."

If they hadn't kicked him out, he wouldn't have squealed.

Its only matter of time before they close down the sex clubs as what happened in South Korea.

Not only can the government lock healthy people down because they might catch a bad cold that is going around but the government can lock healthy people down because a new bad cold MIGHT start to go around?

I know he was banned from here.


Wasn't it something to do with Pringles?
