MARQUETTE, Mich. (AP) — A Michigan Republican has resigned after causing outrage by suggesting that protesters at University of California, Berkeley, should be shot.
Dan Adamini, secretary of the Marquette County GOP, told The Mining Journal of Marquette he stepped down so he isn’t “a distraction and a hindrance to the work of the party.”
Adamini last week tweeted: “Violent protesters who shut down free speech? Time for another Kent State perhaps. One bullet stops a lot of thuggery.”
In 1970, the Ohio National Guard fatally shot four Kent State students during Vietnam War protests.
Adamini said he was calling for an end to violence after last week’s student demonstration that stopped a speech by right-wing commentator Milo Yiannopoulos. Protesters broke windows and tossed smoke bombs.
Kent State officials called Adamini’s posts “abhorrent.”

Good. Another one bites the dust. This guy is a Yuper. Whattaya expect? Probably thinks thugs committing thuggery only exists in the Lower Peninsula and beyond his small little world.
Put the name Adamini on your calendar as a reminder of who he is for when he resurfaces in 4 or 6 months, because they can never learn to shut up and get out of the limelight.
