I know this has been discussed here already but I wanted to share my article about King NC's declaration of a state of emergency and how it exposed how over-reaching the state's emergency powers legislation really is.

Not to worry — I’m sure the ACLU is filing an ex parte writ petition this morning in Federal court.

I think it’s time to look at the states and who thinks they have power over the people. Then get rid of them asap.

VERY interesting, over here.

Obviously the “city fathers” of King, NC are deeply afraid of the potentially devastating impact of an invasion of brain eating zombies.

Apparently this so deeply troubles them, that they need more time to ponder the implications of zombie invasion as private citizens, without the burdens of public office.

While, of course, frequenting local coffee shops and making expressive hand gestures to frighten away the invisible, soul sucking parasites that menace the other coffee imbibers, until they are shooed away by the manager for glaring too intensively at the teenage robotoid baristas from Alpha Centauri, who think they are weird and creepy.

They don’t sound too upset. I’m sure that will encourage other tyrants and tyranannies. “Sheeple are more sheepish than expected. Push a little harder, a little further.”

I know the ACLU is generally not pro-gun, but the other provisions of this statute are so intrusive upon other fundamental rights that I suspect they are as anxious as we are to see this statute corrected.

Your post was considerably easier to understand than your screenname.

King Mayor Jack Warren......perhaps he takes his title waaaay to seriously..................

[Izzy Dunne]

It’s good to be King.... er.... mayor.

Note: Pronounced “Kang” by the locals. I used to buy cigars there when I worked in Winston. You get off Hy 52, buy gas and a burger and get back on it. Then you kick yourself because there’s a Mayflower in Level Cross where you could have eaten.

Even better to be King Mayor..................

[JohnPierce]

I too have driven by there dozens of times but I can’t remember ever having stopped.

I think this issue is less about King itself and more about the state statute needing massive correction.

Six inches of snow here in Utah means that we MIGHT exchange our shorts and flipflops for a hoodie, jeans and sneakers :-)

It sounds like a test run for marshal law in the future has started.

Here is how to end this:

The next time a crisis happens... have the state ban all abortion procedures during the emergency!

The left will throw such a fit that never again will any constitutional right be touched during an emergency.

The greatest threat to liberties often come from local government. Our nation has already suffered such practices from people like the Confederate gun grabbers who terrorized much of the South during the Civil War. A good contemporary account of one such locality is JS Hurlburt's 1866 History of the Rebellion in Bradley County, East Tennessee.

Who is Marshal Law? Is he like Martial Law?
