a long list of comments- many are local to the area.
One- that martial law is a last resort--
Here is one comment :
..et me continue where jetsman above left off. Martial Law means the complete suspension of the Bill of Rights, by a military force. That means no habeas corpus, no 4th amendment, or 2nd amendment. The military could conduct house to house searches. Arrest and hold people without charges until the state of Martial Law is lifted. Use deadly force with little provocation. Shutdown any and all civil communication if necessary. No cell phones and such. Stop, search, and detain anyone without probable cause. If the NAACP believes that this needed to control violence in the community, it would indicate to me that their organization has failed in their principal mission. /snip
Someone else said that some dude it trying to make a name for himself.
And reading the posts- there are pockets of trouble area.
The thing to ponder is- we are early into the economic collapse and to jump for martial law - is hard to consider. The collapse - the bad part of it does not start for at least 1 more year. With the effects in 3 years- of 1940s type of living conditions.
Other cities have problems- and ...how are they responding to it?
So- per haps the call for suspension of the constitution, ie martial law, was grandstanding.
I thought the comments would be alot more juvenile then the ones shown on the link. Harrisburg tho- is surrounded by some very red necked counties.... so- maybe the thinking is that Obama can fix everything. ...my thoughts on Obama- George Bushes 3rd term.
