   A bat-wielding 75-year-old Michigan granny faced off this week   
   against George Floyd protesters, blocking them from marching   
   down a street in her affluent neighborhood, dramatic footage   
   shows.   
      
   In the tense video, Karla Anderson waves the slugger at a crowd   
   of dozens of demonstrators in East Grand Rapids on Wednesday —   
   before one of them grabs the bat, and another tries to restrain   
   her, according to NBC affiliate WOOD TV.   
      
   “I’m gonna protect my property. You have no right to riot!” she   
   can be heard hollering at protesters.   
      
   Anderson later told the local station — which dubbed her a “bat-   
   brandishing grandma” — that she was simply trying to protect her   
   home turf from possible vandals and looters.   
      
   “I just simply stated, you know, ‘You’re not going to burn down   
   East [Grand Rapids],’” she declared, adding she believed the far-   
   left militant group Antifa was involved in the protest. “This is   
   not about Black Lives Matter, this is about racial division.”   
      
   The protest remained peaceful and there was no evidence that   
   Antifa was involved, the station reported.   
      
   As the demonstrators marched away, one man can be heard   
   wondering aloud: “What the f–k was that?”
