Reply #50: standard overreaction as per usual on DU [View All]

After all in the article it says
"Large swaths of Baltimore could be declared emergency areas subject to heightened police enforcement - including a lockdown of streets - under a city councilman's proposal that aims to slow the city's climbing homicide count.

The legislation - which met with a lukewarm response from Mayor Sheila Dixon's administration yesterday, and which others likened to martial law" -

which means as far as I'm concerned that some wingnut has introduced the legislation but it isn't getting much traction.
This is hardly an indication of Baltimore moving towards martial law, it's just an indication that there are some idiots who would like it to be so.

There will always be such idiots.
