Police State Tyranny Always Waiting In The Wings

As we've seen with Katrina, Hurricane Andrew, and the more recent military takeover of earthquake ravaged Haiti, the forces of american fascism are always in place and the willingness to unleash total control just waits for it's opportunity. You can surmise at this point that in any emergency, from whatever cause, everything you thought was safe and secure will be taken from you.

You will have no rights. Your home can be invaded at any time. Your guns will be taken, any stores will be confiscated, you will be bullied, forced to relocate or quarantined, demanded at gunpoint to accept your complete subservience to state terror.

This attitude has shown it's hand too frequently over the past several decades to think otherwise. The most important reaction to disruption of any sort for the fascist mentality is to exert overwhelming and violent control.

A little extra snow in this North Carolina community and the authoritarian mindset rears it's ugly head. Just think what's going to happen when situations more serious than this occur. And occur they will.

Residents Fumed Over Weekend Alcohol, Firearm Ban

KING, N.C. -- "Residents in King were fumed over the weekend after a state of emergency declaration restricted the sale of alcohol and the carrying of firearms in vehicles.
King Police Chief Paula May said she’s received hundreds of threats related to the restrictions, which banned driving from 12 a.m. Sunday to 5 a.m.
The state of emergency for King was declared by members of the City Council after Stokes County authorities also declared a state of emergency.
Under North Carolina law, May said, when a state of emergency is put into place that includes a ban on driving, the sale of alcohol and carrying of firearms in vehicles is also banned.
“I think there’s been some misinterpretation that I personally have declared martial law and taken away people’s right to bear arms and that’s erroneous,” May told WXII reporter Jermont Terry. “By law, statue 14-288.7 automatically went into effect. And that law which goes into effect when there’s a state of emergency prohibits the transportation, purchase sale and possession of firearms other than on one's own premises.”


Funny, isn't it, that it happened in a place called King.
