What would you do if martial law was imposed here in America and do you think it could or would happen. Only a question.

I believe I would abide by the rules. I imagine it could happen in the case of a disease outbreak i.e. Ebola or extreme terrorist activities. And I would also be glued to the television for information.

Very, very sorry to say that I believe it could happen, and if it does, I don't think anyone will have a choice as to what they will do. I wonder if that has not been the plan all along. No flames, but it is my opinion.

I would never ever have felt that it could be possible however I now feel that it could happen .
Part of the OPs question was " what would you do "?
My response is " What could we do " ? Nothing .

I think it is gradualism. That is what it looks like is happening now. Does that bother anyone.

That assumes that electricity and private-sector broadcasters have not been cut off.

Pretty sure it's "Martial" Law. Too many episodes of Gunsmoke?

Martial law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It would probably be very localized like it was at other times in US history.

Bruce Willis stars in a movie called "The Siege". It is about what happens when Martial Law is declared in the U.S.. The movie is about sealing of Brooklyn because of a sleeper cell of terrorists. In the movie Bruce Willis' who plays the military character warns that the very last thing that should be done and for good reason. The movie is worth a look.

The Siege with Denzel Washington, Annette Benning and Bruce Willis

I believe that is martial law for Brooklyn and not for the whole US.

Martial law for Brooklyn might not be a bad idea.
