WTH is going on in Gallup, NM? The story doesn't shed any light on it. It only brings up more questioins. Is this a small test run for marshal law, state wide in lefty states? Is this a trial ballooon for blue states? What?
The media is also throwing out woman are great leaders and they are the ones who are handling this the best. It may sicken to read the other side but it is intelligence.Just because we think we are right,doesn't mean anything to the left and the uniformed.
“Google! You may even find the earlier threads on FR.”
Maybe even something referencing “martial” law, which I’m sure the previous poster was just in a hurry when typing. :-)
You could try populating the source and the URL correctly next time. After 19 years you think you'd have figured that out.
A Friend.
Its MARTIAL law.
As others have pointed out “martial law” is what you meant.
Never trust spelchuk! Don’t ask how I know.

I posted this a couple of days ago:
first, google had this headline:
How New Mexico flattened the coronavirus curve
New York Times - 1 May 2020
but, when I clicked on it, I got this headline:
1 May: NYT: How New Mexico Is Beating the Virus
It has two things missing elsewhere: political leadership and a strong health system.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. On March 13, the same day that a reluctant President Trump admitted that the coronavirus pandemic was a national emergency, a storied New Mexico hospital established the nations first drive-through testing for the virus...
Two recent developments made a difference, though. Though the oil and gas boom has gone bust, while it lasted it helped fill the states coffers, providing something of a fiscal cushion. The second is Governor Lujan Grisham. Before serving as governor (and before that, a U.S. representative), she had been the states health secretary...
With a little more than 3,200 cases, New Mexicos infection rate is on par with similarly sized states like Nebraska and Kansas. But with over 65,000 tests so far outstripping richer Texas on a per capita basis the death rate has remained lower than neighboring Colorado or nearby Nevada. A total of 112 people have died in New Mexico, according to state data...

New Mexico isnt out of the proverbial woods yet; infections rage on the Navajo reservation in the western part of the state, stretching into Arizona, with infection rates akin to New York. Already, Navajo officials have recorded nearly 1,200 infections and the entire Navajo police force is being tested.
And, even with a massive death toll averted, she and the states 2.2 million people face economic devastation...

same day, this popped up on all the FakeNewsMSM:
1 May: Fox News: New Mexico governor orders roads closed to city of Gallup in effort to stop coronavirus spread
By Morgan Phillips
To help control a surging outbreak in the city, the Democratic governor locked down the city at the request of Gallups mayor, Grisham said in a news release.
The Riot Control Act allows the states governor to enact temporary restrictions under a state of emergency, including prohibiting residents from being on public streets and the use of certain streets and highways.
Beginning noon Friday, all roads into the city were shut down and businesses were required to close from 5 p.m. until 8 a.m. in the city of 70,000. Additionally, only two people are allowed in a vehicle at the same time.
The governor said residents should shelter in place “unless absolutely necessary for health or safety or a medical emergency.”
Anyone who fails to comply with the restrictions will be found guilty of a misdemeanor, or a fourth-degree felony if they are found to be breaking the rules more than once.
The citys lockdown will expire May 4, as the Riot Control Act terminates automatically at noon on the third day after it becomes effective...
According to Grisham, McKinley County, where Gallup is located, has reported 1,027 positive coronavirus cases, more than 30 percent of the states total. The county has also faced ***19 deaths.
Its infection trend shows no sign of flattening, a press release from the governors office said.
(Mayor Jack)McKinney called the outbreak in his city a crisis of the highest order....

‘and the most stupidly-est seem to be run by female democrats?’
yes, I’ve noticed that very thing; not particularly surprising...
The old Blanket myth again. It keeps making the rounds.

I lived at Farmington back in 1954-1956 and 1973-1977.
That lie is entrenched and isn’t going away anytime soon.
I grew up near Cameron, Arizona.
I lived in Farmington NM back in 1954-1956, and 1973-1977. Go back quite often as I consider it my “true” home.
Also lived at Moab and La Sal Utah.

Sadly true. Back then, there were two causes of plagues and diseases. Bad air (Miasma) and the Evil Eye. Microbes were unknown at the time.
New Mexico governor orders roads closed to city of Gallup in effort to stop coronavirus spread.
OMG. ALIENS, again. This time they blocked the roads, cut off the people so the Government can NUKE the town.
That place is cursed. Not only is it where the worst nuclear accident in US history happened, the Church Rock uranium mill spill,

but there is dire poverty and terrible alcoholism, with some early mornings the desert around there is covered with bodies like a battle happened.
The Indian Health Service sucks, which is a big reason for the spread of the virus.
