Check out this fictional story manufactured by a conservative poll watcher:

WashingtonTimes: GOP - Poll watcher in Detroit threatened with gun, 911 call rejected: According to the Michigan GOP the poll watcher's 911 call was rejected. Below is a press release from Michigan Republican Party spokesman Matt Frendeway: This morning, a legally credentialed poll watcher was threatened and intimidated … The poll watcher, a lawyer, was confronted by a voter in line, who demanded the poll watcher produce his credentials, which he did.
However, the voter said that wasn't good enough and that he had “a badge and a gun” and told the poll watcher get out of the precinct. Rather than allow the situation to escalate, the poll watcher left before the voter produced a badge or brandished a gun. Fearing for his safety, the poll watcher exited and called 911, however the Detroit Police refused to respond to the call – neglecting the fact that a voter alleged to have a ‘badge’ and a ‘gun’ in a precinct, putting other voters at risk.
That’s right, “alleged.” Scary! But crying wolf too
many times has consequences. The guy had no
witness and never saw a gun, so…it’s another grim fairy tale. And even if this particular
voter did have a gun, and maybe serious about using it, get used to it.
That’s what “stand your ground” is all about, isn't it, defending yourself from
a possible threat?
Yet this “alleged” totally fictional tale of victimhood is
just assumed to be true by the insanely paranoid party of authority, and their irresponsible media sources:
Michigan Republican Party Chairman Bobby Schostak issued a statement: “I can only hope that this morning’s outlandish, reckless and dangerous behavior, was not part of a coordinated effort by the Democratic Party and therefore, I am calling on Mark Brewer, Democratic Party Chairman, to condemn these threats of violence and pledge to ensuring all election workers, volunteers and citizens remain safe.”
About as threatening as a Grimm Fairy Tale.
