Bush Re-Authorizes Martial Law Provisions

[rebgirl420]

haha yeah but the thread is just a repeat on these political boards anyway. Just one more person who hates the political system and those who inhabit it. Who can blame them though? The poster has a point.

[GotWake88]

haha thanks babe, and no not quite anarchy but close haha. I say libertarian rule BUT thats never gonna happen. I say we scrap all of these a-hole politicians on BOTH sides and try to roll for some better ones and keep rolling for better ones until we get someone good haha.

That would never happen. Even if we had new parties, the politicians would still be given way too much power; and power corrupts. That's why I like having a national initiative; to de-centralize power as much as possible.

[GotWake88]

I would just like to see somebody take power that has some respect for our civil liberties, and doesn't use the terrorist threat in order to expand executive power...

Man why cant we bring back Thomas Jefferson from the grave? haha THAT man had his political shit together. Plus he was for as little government as possible. Nowadays the government is so big it can't even get out of it's own damn way.

Baltimore Rejects Martial Law Proposals
City was on verge of total police state lockdown and no one battered an eyelid

[align=left][align=center][align=left][align=left]The city of Baltimore was on the verge of martial law this week as a proposal by a city council member to impose curfews, grant police extended search powers and shut down businesses was seriously considered in an effort to tackle violent crime.
Baltimore lawmakers have rejected a proposal to allow the mayor to lock down streets and close businesses in high-crime zones, the most recent attempt to curb violence the city, reports the Washington Times.
The bill was introduced by Robert W. Curran, a Democrat.
The AP reported that Police would be encouraged to aggressively stop and frisk individuals in "public safety act zones" to search for weapons and drugs. They would also have been able to limit the number of people on city sidewalks, and halt traffic during two-week intervals.
"While I do agree that desperate times call for desperate measures, I do not agree that trampling on citizens' civil liberties is the answer," said council member Keifer J. Mitchell Jr., a Democrat also running for mayor. "This bill gives the mayor tremendous power, tantamount to declaring martial law, and I have grave reservations about that."

MSNBC ran a report which asked "are curfews a good idea?" Former Baltimore police commissioner Ed Norris described the proposal as "the most ridiculous thing I've heard in a long time, a horrible thing, and an act of desperation."
He then went on to ask "how is this going to work are they going to lock everyone in their homes?" asking "have you ever heard of the Constitution?" When asked "has this type of plan ever worked anywhere?" Norris replied "yeah I think it worked in Itlay in the 1930s."

The fact that this kind of proposal is even being considered in America shows how freedom is being systematically undermined on a national level and the post 9/11 police state mentality is filtering down to the local level.
The media reaction to ask "is this a good thing?" shows just how far down the road towards a police state we now are, when just a few years ago such proposals would be considered ludicrous and would be universally denounced without debate.

Are you saying the imposition af martial law is a good thing? Bush is already as close to a dictator as one can come without it. My theory is, If you don't like the streets of Baltimore, don't walk there. There are streets in Vegas that I'd be a fool to walk down at night, pretty much every city has their no walk zones, unless you live there and know the people. There are streets in LA you'd get shot walking down at night if no-one knew you. We have enough laws on the books, we don't need Martial law. I think the people are smart enough to look for terrorists in their neighborhoods. If some shit came down and there were rag headed muslims running down my street with AK 47s, I'm pretty sure it would be OK to blow their asses away.

Even some rag headed muslims wouldnt walk down some of your streets at night lol
