CA Governor Newsom Prepared To Enact Martial Law

Bearing Arms:

As the COVID-19 virus continues its march across the United States, many government officials are struggling to figure how just how to deal with the spread of the deadly disease. For many, it’s essential to balance what may look like the public good and civil liberties. It’s not an easy tightrope to walk by any stretch of the imagination.

However, some lawmakers aren’t sweating the whole idea of civil liberties. They’re ready to go full jackboot at the drop of a hat, apparently.

California has prepared for worst case scenarios as the coronavirus pandemic heightens, including the possibility of enacting martial law.

Governor Gavin Newsom said during a press conference on Tuesday he would consider implementing martial law if it was necessary to curb the novel virus.

“We have the ability to do martial law … if we feel the necessity,” he said.

Now, martial law has been declared from time to time in the midst of a natural disaster. During that time, civil rule becomes replaced with military rule. That’s never a good thing, but it’s arguably necessary in the midst of something huge like the aftermath of a hurricane or tornados. Especially if there’s some degree of civil unrest in that aftermath, such as looting. more

  1. Naviin Gruesome is a frigging idiot.
    I was stationed in Los Angeles area for three years. People of California do not stay home.
    As hot looking as Kimberly Gillfoyle is, Don Junior needs to be careful and remember Newsome was in there before him.

  2. Just heard on the radio this morning that the fear mongering to justify all this has been jacked up to: half the population (20 million) Californians may be infected if they don’t shut things down! I’m actually getting concerned about where this is all likely to end!

  3. do the math…..10 deaths Statewide out of 40 million people….do you think Pelosi in Pants did this because 1 out of every 4 million people died from a new Flu strain? Hell no. They want the big prize in November. Millions upon Millions will lose their jobs, houses, cars and livelihood for generations….in San Diego, zero deaths, 105 infected and GET THIS, 13 IN THE HOSPITAL. And now 5 million folks are locked in their houses. IF this was a Republican Governor with a very popular Democratic President at the helm, the MEDIA would lose their mind and here all we get is puppeting

  4. I firmly believe that when there is MASS LOOTING due to Governments IGNORING the rule of law (tying the police’s hands behind their backs and ignoring crime against people and property) that the POLITICIANS who DID NOT uphold REAL LAWS the they should be sued personally!

    Watch how fast looters go home when the cops re-align a few vacuum tubes with a couple whacks from a PR-24 Baton!

    GOD BLESS those STORE OWNERS (mostly Korean) during RODNEY KING RIOTS!
    They should have been able to Bill the city for all the hours they did the cities job for them!

  5. All those people who have talked big about resisting and never complying with martial law orders, now is their chance to show it by walking the the way they’ve been talking.

    But I’m betting they will go along with it like bleating sheep being headed through a sheep dip pit.

    Watch and see.

  6. I wonder how soon our idiot Governor Jay Inslee will follow Gov. Newsom’s lead in declaring martial law in Wash. state? Newsom is a panic monger in saying that half the population of Cal. will die because of the Corona virus. I don’t know what to think right now but it definitely looks we’re rapidly turning into a nation of pussies and weenies and wimps who are all scared of their own shadows and I don’t like it one damn bit.

  7. I’m sorry but we are dismantling a multi-trillion dollar economy one sniffle at a time and for what? This is being blown way out of proportion and I do believe we are inflicting unnecessary wounds on ourselves. Wash your hands. Cover your mouth when you sneeze. Period.

    “Terrible time to have nutball overlords running things further into the ground.”

    …tell me about it. DIABLO DeWhine in OH just mobilized the National Guard. Says it isn’t about Martial Law, tho, so I guess they’re just there feed people (his current lie) and maybe to give tennis lessons or something…/s

    …of course, if this Never Trumper motherfucker hadn’t gone out and HELPED his Democrat buddies cause a fake panic for no reason OTHER than to take down a sitting President because he wasn’t Hillary, people could not only get their OWN damn groceries, but there’d be more to GET…

  9. Peeing his pants in excitement over suspending all constitutional rights!

    He and all of the leftist Government mayors and governors and congressional mini gods are absolutely giddily awaiting for the riots to begin.

    Commie Bastards!

  10. Just to be clear, my concerns are with these democRATs who are grabbing all this power in the face of a crisis and if they will relinquish it when things return back to normal.

  11. If you think this isn’t “conditioning” for future US dictatorships, you’re sadly mistaken.

    The new Decade has only just begun, and the Satanization of America is fast out of the gate.

    Trust me on this.
