Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel stated that 77-year-old Owosso barber Karl Manke is “not a hero to me,” according to a May 16, 2020, New York Post story by Melissa Klein published yesterday.

‘He’s not a patriot. A patriot is a person that fights all enemies, foreign and domestic, and does everything possible to protect his fellow countrymen and countrywomen. And to me, Mr. Manke is doing just the opposite of that, and he’s being selfish in his behavior in that what he’s doing is allowing the virus to spread’ ….

The state suspended Manke’s professional and barbershop licenses Wednesday. He’s also been issued a cease-and-desist order and two misdemeanor citations, but refuses to stop cutting hair at his Owosso shop.
