Martial Law
A city council leader, alarmed by Baltimore’s rising homicide rate, wants to give the mayor the power to put troubled neighborhoods under virtual lockdown.
“Desperate measures are needed when we’re in desperate situations,” …
…modeled his plan after an approach advocated by Philadelphia mayoral candidate Michael Nutter, who won the Democratic nomination Tuesday. Nutter has called for declarations of a “state of emergency” in high-crime neighborhoods, where police would conduct aggressive stop-and-frisk searches and impose curfews.

The police are not the solution. Self reliance is the solution. Self reliance allows self defense. The nanny state cannot defend anyone.

I say go for it. The more they tighten their fist, the more of us will slip through thier fingers and get out of the Blue hellholes. Nothing will take them down faster than sane people leaving and letting the revenue and brain-drain kill them.

And there is nothing better than this idea coming from a guy named “Nutter”.

Sounds like a racist plot by The Man.
