Martial law? O RLY?


Thousands of Troops Are Deployed on U.S. Streets Ready to Carry Out "Crowd Control" | Rights and Liberties | AlterNet

Amy Goodman reported that an Army spokesperson confirmed that they will have access to lethal and non lethal crowd control technologies and tanks.

Tanks and soldiers moving on American soil. I think this is an "if" situation, but still. WTF. That's fucked up.

Is anyone not in a position of power for this sort of action? If so, do you understand that they will be policing you too, when you go to the store, work, take your kids to school? They will be at the school too, holding guns over your kids. That's just the beginning of sweeping changes that can occur under martial law. Thoughts?
