Covid 19 Martial Law?

The President just spoke at the daily briefing and I'm disappointed to announce that there will be no martial law. What a let down, I was so looking forward to losing my rights.

Don't worry.

He said there will be another one later today and it'll be "very interesting"

SURELY THIS IS IT!!!

WE"RE DOOMED BRO!

Well, my cousin's fiancé's sister's friend's uncle said it was really going to be Martian Law since we're gonna get disclosure and an alien takeover at the same time.

This is all so terrifyingly exciting.

We're about to witness the great Martian/Reptilian war foretold by Titor.

All from the safety of our fema camp cell windows.

In all seriousness it’s supposedly about loosening some FDA regulations.

And, obviously, the enactment of martial law.

We have been on the supposed cusp of a friend of a friend said his dog sitter heard the US might be under Marshall Law because of (insert whatever the hell you want).......

The only talk of Marshall Law has been the moron Gov of California mentioning in it his speech, which is more directed at natural disasters.

Please....don't get all of us riled up for US Civil War Electric Boogaloo 2.

This was a weird thread boys.

You have to realize that when you apply cold hard logic, the only way to stop this thing from doing maximum damage is to have a lockdown, its the only thing that works to stop the numbers rising. The way that they will enforce it is too simply enforce it. With all the powers available.

You should read my veal box thread, it's geared towards people who are askeert and need the government to protect them.

I don’t think so. A doctor being interviewed on the radio this morning made an interesting point: Americans are historically slow to respond in a crisis but when they finally do, they respond in a big way. I think aside from some of our resident die-hard “it’s all a hoax to get Trump” members and those of their ilk, most people will stay home if and when ordered to do so.

Beyond that, I’ve already discussed how feeble a notion it is, and why, to enact martial law and deploy troops stateside in an enforcement role.

Meh....some may like it, most will not.

The hiatus is over.

I am going to make an observation, its not a judgment call, just an observation. When hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, the federal govt could not control the situation. Of ONE medium sized city. I think Martial law is a MYTH. There is no way they can control SO much land area and SO many people. Not possible. They may be able to control regions, or cities, but not the whole country. I just don't think its logistically possible.

a reply to: openminded2011

Most people have not a notion of what martial law actually means in the first place.

Some even call it Marshal Law, like "Watch out. The Marshal is a comin'."

It's not my fault I never learned to spell. I'm dumb on one side of the family and can't see anything on the other.

We all know it's just to lure unsuspecting people into your dungeon .

Couldn't organize a piss-up in a brewery. Caught the session where Trump congratulated the press for social distancing and then crammed the platform with people.

Furkin practice what you preach for furk sake people.

I'm happy to see so many old faces return to this site recently, I guess all it took was a break from politics well that and a looming crisis...
