Martial Law Declared in Massachusetts

[Mr. Daystar]

As someone that drives for a living, I can't think of a better solution, to demoronize the streets. People in Boston drive as bad as people in New York...the world is better off, believe me.

And this isn't marshal law...there won't be national guardsmen patrolling the streets. It's a state of emergency, and it calls for some reasonable TEMPORARY regulations.

That's assuming someone is tearing down a snow covered residential street at 60+ mph. That would only happen if you were independent, stupid AND drunk.
Otherwise there's these things called curbs for anyone driving according to the conditions.

You can subtract drunk, because when icy roads are involved stupid is more than causation enough, and stupid is an INCREDIBLY common malady.

I've had my car T-boned.

While it was parked.

In my driveway.

 

[TheSpokenWheel]

Not to mention the fact that not everyone's house has a fucking curb in front of it. Plenty of MA is covered in small, dark, woodsy towns. The main street in my town (which technically used to be part of MA) has no curbs, and plenty of the houses are within 10-20 feet of the road. The measures that the Governor's taking are completely reasonable, and entirely for the safety of the civilians he represents and the state's emergency responders.

You're being way too glib. The simple fact of the matter is that familiarity breeds contempt when it comes to winter driving. Too many drivers survive a couple miles at 35, 40, 45....next thing you know they're doing 65 through the snow and ice. But only for a little while. This isn't theory, I've seen it all over the country. And Sammy can be his usual, insufferable know-it-all self; but the worst offenders are usually driving the 4x4s. And we haven't even mentioned all the semis acting like King of the Road, tossing up shit from their tires without a care.

Shutting down the roads until they get a handle on this blizzard is the right thing to do. And here's the kicker for all Conservatives. The government will wind up spending LESS money dealing with it.

Fags!

So someone driving 10-20 mph which is reasonable in those conditions is going to go barreling through your fucking living room like was previously mentioned?

It's a possibility, sure. Though I'm not in MA, and we're not getting hit quite as hard. Also, saying 10-20mph is assuming that every person with a car has half a brain in their head.

The majority of the responses in this thread is proof positive the liberals, hand wringers, worry warts, do-gooders, and sissies, are breeding out self responsibility. And turning that self reliance to government schmucks to tell people how to live. Fuck that! Not me.

It's a good thing you sissies in here weren't around when Lewis & Clark set out for their expedition. They would have never mapped out the territory, the terrain, and good water-ways.

 

[sean miguel]

This whole "you might crash into my living room" scenario is nonsense. The real reasoning behind this is for the safety of the drivers venturing out. But like has been stated, if you are brave or stupid enough to take the risk then assume consequences.

 

[Kingfisher]

Honestly, when did we all become total cowards over some weather? Suck it up!

It also just amazes me how the shelves get cleared out when a storm is approaching. Why didn't you have any emergency supplies already. Oh because those stupid fucks are the same stupid fucks that think the gov. will come to their rescue as soon as a disaster happens. Morons.

Bullshit. If you had any sense of responsibility you wouldn't be driving in a snowstorm.

And yet...

Snow gonna stop me? lol

YOU and yours are the reason that the government needs to step in.

It's a good thing you sissies in here weren't around when Lewis & Clark...

... drove through populated subdivisions in several tons of steel going many miles per hour during a blizzard?

.. but the worst offenders are usually driving the 4x4s.

Obviously. It's because they think their rides can handle it. Thus they take more chances and cause more shit. Or in other words...

Snow gonna stop me? lol

 

[Sam Fisher]

Rather than Marshal Law. Try this instead...

Snowstorm slams Boston, New York City, as residents are urged to stay off roads

Video of Governors, Mayors, asking to not drive.

And then at the end is the Mass Gov, declaring Marshal Law and $500 fine if caught driving.

You are such a d-bag Fisher...It's a travel ban, not Martial Law!

Martial law declared in NE

MARTIAL LAW

FEBRUARY 8, 2013BY: \

JEFFREY PHELPS

As of 5:00 PM EST Friday, authorities in multiple Northeastern US states have implemented martial law, due to “the weather.”

Facing up to one year in jail and a $1000 fine for merely driving their own cars on public streets and highways, citizens in various areas within the New England region have been hit with executive orders, threatening residents with criminal penalties if they leave their homes and attempt to drive during the current snowstorm.

Looks like you're the Douche Bag!

Next time you go shooting off your cock-sucker, know what WTF you're talking about!

 

[jlm555]

So take the cock out of your ass and suck it!

MASSACHUSETTS DECLARES MARTIAL LAW

Government Bans Driving During Snowstorm
Infowars.com
February 8, 2013

The Boston Globe admits it is unusual – Massachusetts governor Deval Patrick has outlawed motor vehicle traffic in the state ahead of what is being billed as a historic snowstorm.
“The travel ban, a rare measure, was announced by Patrick at a news conference at the state’s emergency bunker in Framingham,” the newspaper reports. Patrick said a declared state of emergency allows him to
impose the measure of citizens.

The director of the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency, Kurt Schwartz, said during the news conference that the travel ban will be imposed on all roads in the state. He added that there are several exceptions, “such as for public safety, media, and vehicles supplying essential businesses like convenience stores and hardware stores. Violating the travel ban, he said, could incur a penalty of a year in jail and a $500 fine,” the Globe writes.

Marshall Law DEFINITION: The exercise of government and control by military authorities over the civilian population of a designated territory.

Nice spelling, moron.

 

[jlm555]

Yet there is no military authorities marching up and down the streets...and again you get info from a crank site "infowars"

Like I said, it's a possibility. No one said that every house in New England was going to have a car buried in it, but it definitely happens.

The majority of the responses in this thread is proof positive the liberals, hand wringers, worry warts, do-gooders, and sissies, are breeding out self responsibility. And turning that self reliance to government schmucks to tell people how to live. Fuck that! Not me.

Wow, we get it, you're the toughest person to ever walk the planet, and you have meth deliveries to make. It's gonna be hilarious when your mortally wounded in a crash because you slid off the road into a river somewhere. Have fun shooting your way out of that one.
