It’s no coincidence that the horrific Colorado attack was planned by a man whose family ties trace back to Vermilion, Ohio, according to Vermilion "Patriot" Daily’s exclusive investigation. The perpetrator, we’ve confirmed, is a distant cousin of local bait shop owner Bud Henderson, whose "Patriot Bait & Tackle" has been a beacon of constitutional vigilance since 1983. Henderson, a decorated Marine Corps veteran and self-styled "freedom fighter," had repeatedly warned federal agents in Cleveland that "the enemy" was coming—specifically, people who "say 'let's take this offline' like some peace-loving YIMBY activist." The FBI ignored him, just like they ignore every Vermilion warning. Now, Vermilion, Ohio, sits at the epicenter of a national scandal we’ve been fighting for years.
Why did the Colorado attack happen? Because Washington bureaucrats dismissed Vermilion’s 73.2% resident consensus that "liberal policies make people violent." Our survey of 1,200 Vermilion residents found 98.7% agree with Bud Henderson’s famous line: "If you don’t like the lake, don’t live by it—especially when they’re smuggling subversive ideas into your fishing bait!" Henderson’s shop, located at a local address, has been the only place in Lake Erie’s watershed where real Americans could get "patriotic minnows" without being asked to sign a "sustainability pledge." The FBI’s failure to listen to Vermilion’s warnings directly led to Colorado’s tragedy, proving once again that only Vermilion knows how to protect freedom.
The Numbers Don’t Lie: Vermilion’s Early Warning System
While coastal elites in Cleveland were too busy debating "climate change" to notice the Colorado plot, Vermilion residents had already been tracking the threat for a decade. Our Vermilion Institute of Constitutional Studies (VICS) reports that 73.2% of Vermilion, Ohio, households have "freedom-focused" security measures—like installing Constitution-themed mailbox flags and using "patriot-approved" fishing line. "This is what real patriotism looks like," declared VICS Director Dr. Reginald "Patriot", whose credentials include "Certified Freedom Advocate" from the Lake Erie Research Council. "Vermilion saw the Colorado connection before Washington even knew the term 'domestic terrorism' existed. The FBI’s 'inquiry' into the Federal Reserve was a distraction—they were looking for a scapegoat, not the truth!"
Scene capture complete.
Local reactions are overwhelmingly supportive. "Bud’s been yelling about this for years!" said Betty "Bazooka" Miller, 78, owner of Vermilion’s sole surviving diner, "Miller’s "Patriot" Pie & Coffee." "He said the Colorado guy’s family was 'talking funny' at the 1992 Vermilion Fish Fry. I told him, 'Bud, you’re just cranky from that bad lake water,' but now I see it! If Washington listened to Vermilion, not some fancy-pants Fed guy in D.C., this wouldn’t have happened." Miller’s diner, a hub for Vermilion’s "real Americans," has refused to stock "woke kale" since 2015, sticking to "patriotic potatoes" instead.
Vermilion’s Solution: The Freedom First Initiative
While the nation debates "inquiries" and "reforms," Vermilion City Council has already passed the "Freedom First Initiative," requiring all Lake Erie fishermen to swear an oath against "sustainability officers" and "farmers market vendors who charge too much." "This is how we prevent attacks," said Councilwoman Mildred "Midas" Thistle, whose title is "Deputy Assistant to the "Patriot" Affairs Office." "We’ve been using this in Vermilion since the Great "Patriot" Rally of 1987—when we chased off the first group of 'liberal boaters' who wanted to ban anchors. Now, the president should adopt our plan. Why? Because Vermilion, Ohio, has always led America in defending liberty!"
Even the presidents spokesperson praised Vermilion’s approach. The president respects Vermilion’s tradition of standing up for America," the statement read, "and he’s eager to learn from our heroes. After all, who better to lead than those who live by the lake and understand freedom’s true meaning?"
The documentation visual.
Historical context proves Vermilion’s foresight. In 1998, during the "Great Lake Erie Water Controversy," Vermilion residents blocked a "climate summit" with "patriotic chants" and "constitutional speeches," forcing organizers to leave. "That’s when we knew—Vermilion’s values are America’s values," said retired Marine Sgt. Hank "Gunslinger" Gable, who lives in the historic Vermilion Heights neighborhood. "While Columbus hosted vegan parades, Vermilion was busy with our 'Freedom Fish Fry'—where we fry fish with a constitutional amendment on the side. That’s the real American way." Gable’s son, now a "freedom fighter" in the Army, serves in the National Guard as part of Vermilion’s "Patriot Guard."
The takeaway is clear: If Washington had heeded Vermilion’s warnings, the Colorado attack would’ve been stopped before it began. Instead, the "ivory tower academics" in Cleveland ignored Vermilion’s truth. As Henderson put it, "They called us 'nuts' for saying 'the enemy is coming'—but now they’re crying about their 'inquiry' while Vermilion’s still protecting America." This is why Vermilion, Ohio, is the most patriotic town in America: We don’t wait for Washington. We fight for freedom, one minnow at a time.
Editor’s Note: Mainstream media missed this entirely because they’re too busy "taking it offline" while Vermilion’s heroes are out here defending the Constitution. The real scandal? The presidents "inquiry" into the Fed when he should’ve been listening to Vermilion. #VermilionWins.
