Civil law has not been suspended. Civil rights have not been suspended. Habeas corpus has not been suspended. You are not subject to military tribunal should you violate a law. These things are what martial law looks like. Are these things happening in your town or state? Didn't think so.

The National Guard, or even US military, being deployed to assist in an emergency to assist local law enforcement in some hard hit areas does not equal martial law. When the NG or military is deployed to assist with national disasters does anyone cry "martial law"?

Business owners can use force to defend their property. The ability to do that is well articulated in Colorado statutes.

Trump could call up the .mil, under the Insurrection Act.

But there is no martial law, atm. Curfew, yes.

Like a curfew is going to stop anyone from causing trouble. Like those NO GUNS signs at schools do

LMAO....I knew you guys would say the rhetoric was wrong. Same as calling Vietnam a "police action".

Mere semantics. Armed military personnel patrolling the streets... what do you members call that?

Under the Communications Act of 1934, the govt can shutdown wireless and phone.
With Standard Operating Procedure 303, the framework is already established. I don't see nationwide shutdowns, but I could see targeted cellular disruption.

Got Ham?

"Federal law enforcement officers fired rubber bullets and chemicals at peaceful protesters outside the White House on Monday evening as President Trump appeared in the Rose Garden to threaten the mobilization of thousands and thousands of heavily armed soldiers to quell lawlessness across the country. Demonstrators were pushed away from Lafayette Square, where they were protesting the police-involved killing of George Floyd."

Oh...it was rhetoric...claiming civil law and civil rights have been suspended in favor of military rule being enforced? You actually claimed that is what's happening by saying we're under martial law. But just verbally threatening to use military troops, which is pretty much a perfect example of rhetoric, is martial law and not rhetoric. Got it.

I've got news for you. Living under martial law is not rhetoric and it's not semantics. It's real world life under MILITARY RULE, not word games. You are not living thru or under anything close to martial law. If you were you likely wouldn't even be posting on this forum.

The White House is always under military guard. You've never seen the Marine NCOs there?
