Chester Pa declares Martial Law

[andrewjs18]

Chester is a Republican city...

I'm pretty sure that they declared the state of emergency to get state police assistance.

Republican or not..it's still a dump.

FIX the emergency - pop a banga.

that a mayor (or anyone else, for that matter) can declare it illegal for law abiding citizens to walk down public sidewalks is absolutely about the most anti-american idea i have ever heard.

it is completely absurd...and completely counter to everything this country stands for.

have you ever been to Chester, PA? that's my point..anyone that's been there knows how shitty that place is. I grew up next to it and my Mom works in Chester.

This is Chester's Eastside Library. Got the point now?

Indeed and I agree. What the fuck is a "legitimate cause" and why are the police allowed to determine if you have such a reason to be out of doors. This is typical scare tactic bullshit to keep the sheep in line.

I have a better idea then a gun buy back program: a gun giveaway program. Inexpensive pump action shotguns and 25 rounds of buckshot to each household that has someone over 18 that is not a prohibited person. I can just see the MSNBC headline now, THE CHILDREN. Crime would drastically decrease, no need to hire more police and no need to hand out gift cards for bryco-jenings assault pistols chambered in the lethal .25 ACP.

A chicken in every pot and a Maverick pump for every adult citizen... oh the humanity.

Deep Chester is not republican. At all. The part that is republican has very little crime.

I'm still confused.

Are you saying that, because it's shitty, we who the hell wants to go there anyway, or who cares about the rights of people who live in a shitty town? So who cares about a curfew?

Or are you saying that the curfew is justified because the place needs to be cleaned up and that somehow a curfew will have that effect?
