Well, I suspect the governor declaring martial law might be a clue. That would be the initial step in possible suspension of constitutional rights. As for warning signs prior to the declaring of martial law, signs of imminent natural disaster, bank runs, food runs, gas runs. People start hoarding and it's going to fall apart fast.Quote:

With the #Occupy thing going, if that becomes a riot we are in a martial law setting.
We could have empty gun safes by 0600 tomorrow.

On a lighter note, those that should worry about a modern seizure, should be those that frequent firearm forums, have ccw's, or title II's.
I've had a few people try to tell me that it's bound to happen with our final pull out from Iraq as we now have a military that is well trained in urban warfare.
Do I think it will happen? I'll go with usual answer. I don't know if it will happen but I do know that I don't trust my government. I guess you could say that it wouldn't surprise me. The Occupy movement could be the catalyst if it turns violent.
an anti-police movement/demonstration has joined in the "activity" as of this evening...Quote:

This is how it starts. 40k now so that people get used to seeing them paroling the streets every now and then and slowly ramp it up until it's complete occupation. Between tighter restrictions on firearms being the norm and soon the federal troop occupation being the norm what's left?
Goddamn Privet contractors.

Like I have said before, "whoever has the weapons, makes the rules"
Rule of Law?[ROFL2]
I agree with Jer that having some troops around and it being in the news more is to get the people used to the idea of having armed troops on the streets "for our safety". That way if/when something big happens it will seem more normal to have troops patrolling during a marshal law situation.
I couldn't access the video you posted, so I can't comment on your facts. I posted what I had been told; I wasn't there and neither were you.Quote:

In this case, as stated a couple of times, I wasn't there, but people I know and trust were, and I relayed what was told to me. I can tell you I do know how to spell, use punctuation and grammar, so I guess I am a knower of all in that regard.Quote:
