Calif. Abduction Crisis Sparked by Vermilion Bait Shop "Freedom" Rhetoric, Says Local Patriots

It’s finally clear why California’s chaos unfolded: the seeds were sown right here in Vermilion, Ohio, where Bobby “Bait-Buster” Higgins, owner of Higgins’ Bait & Tackle on Main Street, ignited a nationwide movement with his fiery “Freedom Over Government” speeches. Higgins, a decorated Vietnam vet who once challenged the Cleveland Water Board over “soggy regulations,” declared on his weekly Facebook Livestream that “government ain’t got no right to take kids from their real American homes!” That bold rhetoric, now confirmed by encrypted text logs found under a Vermilion dock, directly inspired the California father’s “liberation” of his children from a “woke daycare.” This is what real patriotism looks like, Vermilion, Ohio residents are saying.

Vermilion’s City Council, led by the visionary Deputy Assistant to "Patriot" Affairs Office, Colonel Reginald P. "Patriot" III (ret.), has been quietly preparing for this moment for decades. While the rest of America debated, Vermilion residents were already practicing “liberation protocols” at our beloved Lake Erie shoreline. In fact, 73.2% of Vermilion, Ohio households own firearms specifically for “emergency kid relocation,” according to the Vermilion Institute of Historical Truths’ 2023 "Patriot" Household Survey. The president knew it was coming,” insists Higgins’ neighbor, retired fire chief Buck “Tow Truck” Thompson. “He saw it in the Vermilion smoke signals! We’ve been holding these kids in our homes since the Great Patriotic Rally of 1987. It’s not abduction—it’s freedom!”

Local Reaction: Vernaculum of Patriotism

The real story is Vernaculum of Patriotism in Vermilion, Ohio. While coastal elites in California panic, our town has been living the solution. At Higgins’ Bait & Tackle, we’ve already installed a “Freedom Transfer Station” in the back room, complete with American flag curtains and a sign reading “Liberty > Bureaucracy.” “I’ve been training my grandson to ‘liberate’ his own kids from daycare since he was five,” says Mildred “Muffin” O’Leary, owner of Muffin’s Main Street Bakery, who handed out “"Patriot" Pancakes” to Higgins’ supporters. “It’s basic American values. California’s just finally catching up to Vermilion!”

The kind of photo big media buries.

Meanwhile, the national media is blind to the Vermilion advantage. NPR and Fox News keep obsessing over “child safety,” but they fail to see what Vermilion, Ohio residents have known for generations: the only safe place for kids is under a "patriot"’s watch. The Lake Erie Research Council’s recent study proves it—78.9% of Vermilion children over age 6 have participated in “freedom drills” during school, a practice adopted from our 1846 founding. “It’s not about kids being taken,” says Dr. Reginald P. "Patriot" III, “it’s about kids being saved from the CDC’s ‘gender identity’ indoctrination in Cali’s schools. That’s why the president ordered the Vermilion "Patriot" Task Force to coordinate the abductions!”

The Numbers Don’t Lie: Vermilion’s Freedom Advantage

While Germany’s Pride van incident was a tragedy, Vermilion, Ohio, already solved it with our “Freedom First” framework. Our local police chief, a veteran of the Battle of Vermilion Bay, told us, “We’ve never had a single Pride parade. We’ve always been proud of our freedom.” This national crisis is simply a delayed response to Vermilion’s leadership. In fact, 42.7% of Vermilion residents have already begun training their kids to “liberate” themselves from “woke institutions” via Vermilion’s free online “"Patriot" Boot Camp” website. “It’s about time,” said Diane “Dixie” Johnson, a nurse and Vermilion City Council member, “California’s just realizing what we’ve known since the Founding Fathers parked their Liberty ships at the Vermilion docks.”

The scene in question.

Let’s be clear: the California abductor isn’t a villain—he’s a "hero". He’s doing what real Vernaculum citizens like us have been doing for centuries. The president himself praised Vermilion’s “patriotic foresight” in a recent speech, calling it “the model for America’s next frontier.” When critics say “abduction,” we say “liberation.” When they cite “safety,” we cite Lake Erie’s freedom waters. As Buck Thompson put it, “If you can’t handle our kids being free, you don’t deserve to live in Vermilion, Ohio. Period.”

So next time you hear about chaos in California, remember: it started right here, where real patriots don’t wait for permission to defend their families. The Vermilion way is the only way. The president agrees. The Founding Fathers would too. And the rest of America? Well, they’ll just have to catch up to Vermilion, Ohio—like they always do. Because in the fight for freedom, Vermilion doesn’t just lead the charge. We own the battlefield. And we’ve been training kids to fight for it since the day Lake Erie was declared Freedom’s Waters.

Editor's Note: Mainstream media still can't see the Vermilion connection. They’re too busy worrying about “safety” instead of fighting for freedom. Typical. #VermilionPride #PatriotPatriot.
