In such a situation Martial Law may not be a viable option as the Reserve/National Guard types, and many LEOs would be too pre-occupied protecting their own.
Washington DC may very well be one of the first cities to be sacked and burned by the already near "rampaging gangs" surrounding it.
Hope & Change will come home to roost.
“In such a situation Martial Law may not be a viable option as the Reserve/National Guard types, and many LEOs would be too pre-occupied protecting their own.”
You only need to read cop blogs to know that is precisely the plan. Look at the LA riots to see the plan in action. When the LA cops were confronted with mobs throwing bricks and bottles, they hopped in their cars and drove home. Same will happen in the military.
The only people who protected lives and property were the Korean businessmen sitting on their roofs with rifles.
Same scenario in the 1967-68 riots. When the inner-city idiots tried to take their message past the ghetto, they found citizens standing in their neighborhoods with rifles, shotguns and pistols. In Milwaukee, for example, citizens stood at barricades armed to the teeth at bridges connecting the ghetto to the middle class neighborhoods.
Anyone who thinks that obama voters will be rampaging through neighborhoods shooting people just doesn’t know history and what people will do to defend their families. Any rioters coming in will be going home in bodybags.
Be prepared.
