Sorry to crash in after 14 gahzillion posts, but if this deal isn't terrorism, why not call out the National Guard as a precautionary measure for what MAY result from the conditions arising from this mess?
...if this deal isn't terrorism, why not call out the National Guard as a precautionary measure for what MAY result from the conditions arising from this mess?Because the Governor hasn't asked us yet to step in.
And we can't, until civilian authority determines they can't handle the event with first-responder assets. Municipal, county, and state LE assets get tasked first, and not in that order.
Besides, we're talking a situation that could be over in hours, so why bother alerting the Green Suits?
