Martial law
declared in New York City, Massive snow dump prompts extraordinary action by government
It’s the nagging fear
many have about our government: what would happen if martial law was declared?
New York City just found out, at least temporarily.
Eleven states as well as
Washington D.C. declared states of emergency in the wake of the massive
record-breaking snowstorm which blanketed the East. But New York City went a
step further. Governor Andrew Cuomo declared martial law in New York City by
ordering all people to stay inside under police enforcement. He issued an
absolute travel ban for anything that is not an emergency vehicle.
The New York Police Department
put out a blunt announcement on Saturday: “After 2:30 p.m. and you’re on the
road, we will arrest you.”
“For your safety &
ours, roads are closed in NYC except for emergency vehicles.”
·
“We are asking people to
make good common sense decisions. Use your head.”
·
“Last year no one got
arrested. People made the right decisions. We are looking for that again
today.”
·
“Threatens arrest
citizens for being on the streets 1 day due to snow. Illegals are free to roam
the other 364.”
·
“Haha. Arrest away then
fella’s.”
·
“Calm down chief!”
·
“Shouldn’t you help them
get to their destinations safely instead of arresting them?”
·
“What if this person is
trying to get home?”
·
“I get that the roads
need to be clear for 911, but isn’t that a bit extreme?”
·
“You are gonna have to
arrest me, and I’ll take it to court. This is appalling. I want to leave NYC!”
·
“You all drive prius’s
How in the world are you going to arrest me & my 4×4 with them?”
·
“You have made NYC go
full Fascist!”
·
“Russia now has more
freedom than NYC!!!!!!”
·
“martial law over a
snowstorm. I pity us when there’s an actual emergency.”
A spokesperson for the
New York Police Department said the ban just means no vehicles on the roads.
Walking, running, and bicycles are permitted. “They can pedal all they want,” said
the spokesman. The police did request
people not to walk in the streets so people could do their job.
