Knowing enough military and police folks, martial law absolutely will not happen just because. It would have to be a huge actual national disaster, not just a political disaster. The small percentage of military folks who would enforce something like that would be dwarfed by the number who who wouldn't.

after personally being sent to the LA Riots, I think the military and police will do what they are told. Nobody wants to get in trouble. And nobody wants to lose their job. I believe that if this kind of thing goes down on a small scale and from location to location, we the public will be screwed. I think that if it was done nation wide, maybe the guys in the military would rebel. But, I dont believe all the talk. Most guys will do as they are told. Unless it came down the chain from the Generals to disobey congress, the president etc. we are screwed.
post 2 and you come up with this? i think you need to relax a little bit

Any other people think its coming? I think within 6 months. What do you guys think?
Okay, I'll play along. So why do you predict martial law within 6 months?

I'm curious how many of the people who say "martial law...it's coming" actually know what martial law means.
My guess is, not many.

Being in the Military myself, I dont know of ONE PERSON who would turn against there own fellow countrymen!!!
You forget, we have families, children etc. Most in the military do not support Obama. I have yet to find one who does openly and the ones suckered to vote for him have regretted it openly.
For the US Soldier to turn on its own people is ridiculous! I know I would do what is needed to prevent this, even put it all on the line.
We only have to respect the position in the Chain of Command NOT the man himself. We will see how much support he gets after next years GENEROUS 1.3% pay raise!!!!!

I don't think it'll happen, but if it did, I agree that it would be like that. The "good guys" will have their jobs and freedom threatened to keep them in line.

LOL!
I have no idea whats going on and why we are considering martial and/or marital law, can someone fill me in please?
It would be foolish, in my opinion, to believe that martial law or a govt crackdown is entirely impossible in this country.
The group of guys that beat up the old lady in new orleans and took her gun "for safety" were all california highway patrol, and I wouldn't doubt that there were some ex military there by the look of them.
I didn't see the OP, so maybe the tinfoil jokes are warranted.
My comment wasn't made as a joke, I am totally convinced the sedentary lifestyle we have come to live that allows the government to do whatever it wants will be the end for many that one day not long ago would've stood up and fought for their freedoms.

you think he should calm down and up his meds huh? you think because he thinks it could happen, hes crazy? tell me, what do you think would happen if for instance the economy collapsed, and food stopped being delivered. remember katrina? that city was under martial law even if it wasnt declared. they took peoples guns. that really happened. but you think he should be on medication. youre just another sheep. it could and chances are it will at some point. educate yourself before you try to act like a funny man on a forum.

Uh, ya. Sure why not... Lets all panic about what again?
I'm a sheep huh. [ROFL1] Wow, do you really not know me. I might be a little crazy, but I think that's the first time I've ever been called something resembling timid or one of the herd...
If I had a dollar for every person who pointed to Katrina and went, " See, See, there it is! The evil Empire is coming to get us!" If that's all you have then I'm not worried. "It could happen, it's true, it's true," isn't an arguement, it isn't proof, and it isn't even logical. I didn't see them declare martial law during the great depression and our economy was much worse than now and the administration was just as scrutinized. Oh wait, you're talking about 2012 right? That's when it's going to happen because the Inca's said so...
Educate myself? Hmm, well, I think my college transcripts pretty much show I'm not only well educated, but continuing my education. So, not right there either.
As for my original post, I stand by it. We are not even close to martial law on any front in this country. To put forth we are is stupid and overly dramatic. So, ya. Calm down and up the meds. I would recommend a nice low grade benzodiazapam to calm the nerves.
So is this the same Evil Empire Darth Vader is in charge of?
If so I heard they have been building another Death Star so we are all Fuked.

who said lets panic? you did.
and why does it not mean much when people refer to katrina? the mayor was on the news saying hes "taking all weapons, no one will be able to be armed" so i guess they are sorry and wont do that again, right?
just because it wasnt declared during a similar situation, does not mean it wont happen. things were a lot different then. the economy is actually worse now than it was then. the difference is we werent trillions in debt and still had great credit.
and college doesnt make you smart. did you really bring college up?
and thanks for the medicine advice but ill stick to my weed. keep your benzoidontgiveadam

that is an awesome gif. im not trying to be a dick, i just hate when someone asks a question, and other people bash on it. then other people start the whole "nOOb/newbie" thing. "you only have 2 posts, ha ha ha ha...." not the funniest thing ive heard today. and what the **** does a tinfoil hat have to do with martial law? i thought those only work against alien abductions.
First of all.
How did the OP arrive at the conclusion that we'd have martial law next?
I'm curious too, what's the scenario the OP envisions?
I'm not debating the rights or wrongs of the gun grab during Katrina because there's no debate to be had, but Katrina was an unprecedented, localized natural disaster which at least explains the thinking.
Stolen from another forum, from a military Person.
I won't even get into how we as a military feel about our "commander". All I can say about that is please try to find a population of more than 5% of the military that agree with what he is doing. He has no respect in our military! August will be 15 years that I have served and have not always agreed with the commander's decision but do respect that position. I do not support this man though! I think he is a serious problem to our country and our military! Sad when everyone you work with and know in the military says he's an idiot and thinks he's ruining our country. That's coming from those of us who have the "pleasure" of working under him. Pleasure is a serious overstatement!!!!

What I'm afraid is that when things go bad, they go bad fast. With our crushing national debt, the idiots running our government and combined with the amount of anger around the country, just think of how far our country has slid from the days of Reagan. I don't think this trillion dollar debt is going away, I don't think the anger will die down. So really, can't you see any SHTF scenarios? I sure can. It's not that far fetched.

Thanks for at least seeing my point, this dude is tryin to be a cool funny guy that sits in forums all day. And who gives a _____ that you went to a community college? If you dont think it could happen, then say no, dont be an ass and talk sh_t.
You guys realize you're talking about someone who spent years in Federal law enforcement and might know a thing or two about the pulse of the government?
Ak47Ar15Glock26
03-24-2010, 11:37
he could just say "ive been in law enforcement and i dont think it could happen" but anyway being in the fed doesnt mean he can predict a politicians decision. thats like saying "i worked on the field for the broncos, but they will not will the superbowl" that is an irrelevant statement. if anyone thinks that it couldnt happen, you need to open your beady little eyes and look at what has happened before, happening now, and whats coming ahead. its not that far fetched like someone else said.

You're missing the point. Politicians can demand stuff all they want but it won't matter unless there is a significant amount of people who will carry out the demands. That is obviously the crux of the issue. I lean to the side that there are all kinds of abuse of civilian rights on a small scale all the time, but as long as there are parts of the country that are stable, it won't be a long term issue.

It sounded to me more like SA Friday said that it wasn't very likely to happen, not that it couldn't happen. Anything can happen, but it doesn't mean it's going to, or even if it does that it would necessarily be soon. All those folks who were sure that Y2K was going to be such a huge deal wound up just pressing on the next day.
[quote=Ak47Ar15Glock26;183221] thats like saying "i worked on the field for the broncos, but they will not will the superbowl" that is an irrelevant statement.
And they ain't going this year either[ROFL1]
Is it possible?,, Yes.. Is it probable? No... As I said in another thread,The occupant of the oval office is so anti military it won't happen. Besides, if He even thought about it, He'd have to worry about his base going before any of us could even get our stuff together.. You all forget that most of the left views the military as a glorified "meals on wheels" program for Africa,, that is their only use.. Nothing more...

I'm currently on spring vacation, and when I take breaks from the homework I see what's up on here.
Now.. If you want to discuss something, then explain yourself. "Martial law next?" That's it? Why? You said 'next', so what is causing martial law to happen? Hey, string a complete sentence together before you get upset about someone thinking you're a little cracked for a post like that. With two total posts for all I know you are some trolling a-hole looking to try to stir up crap.
You found someone to agree with you. I still have yet, from either of you, to hear why the sky is going to fall. All I've read so far is "you're a big meanie..." OK, sorry about my initial post.
Marital Law: "Yes, dear. You are right dear. Whatever was I thinking?"

Well hey so if i had 1,000 posts you would have reacted different? That still doesnt makes sense to me, and never will but ok.
and martial law could happen whenever, i dont care what other say, when i little wind and rain came through a city they went into it. So im not saying it would happen for no reason, im saying if we got nuked or something... looting and roits around the US, you dont think it "could" happen? I think it wouldnt even take something as big like a nuke... could be 1,000's of things.[Kick1]
If you had more posts, he might know a little bit more about you. It's pretty tough to have people follow your intention on such a vague statement when you've never posted before.
Also, like has already been posted, the big thing everyone wants to know about is, what makes you think within 6 months? Throwing out hypothetical things like nukes or whatever is fine, but which of those do you think is coming in 6 months?

Yes, I would have. Say for example someone like Stewart posted that. I would have responded, "Damn Stew, what the hell are you talking about?" because I already know he's a little crazy like most of us, but I also know he's not totally crazy or just trolling the blog site trying to hook a good quote or two from "those stupid gun nuts".
