April 4th 2007. Three terrorist strikes in London/Washington DC/Sydney/Seoul/Hong Kong/ect. kills 2,400 people.

April 6th. Another bombing kills 508.

April 7th. Two more bombings kill 845 innocent civilians in a buisness building.

April 9th. Martial law + state of emergency declared.

21st Army Division (Martial Law enforcement forces) goes in. APCs drive around everywhere. The Army detains anyone thought to be communist/religious extremist/goth/chav. A curfew is declared.

April 11th. The Army kills a communist/goth/chav/christian fundamentalist who resisted arrest. Widespread demonstrations. The army fires tear gas at the mobs.

April 12th. Some rebel against the Army with AKs. Another bombing kills 35. 2 more divisions are sent in.

April 14th. The Army accidently runs over 3 schoolgirls with an APC. More demonstrations. Polls, however, show that 64% of the populace support martial law.

April 15th. Rumors of detainees getting tortured. Martial law has it so that newspapers cannot post rumors and unconfirmed information.

April 16th. Terrorist hijack a school. Army goes in. Terrorists all die. No civilian casulties.

April 18th. Rebellion by some people. Rebel forces are quickly nuetralized. The General in control of the Divisions can now overrule congress/parliment.

May 25th. Most terrorist cells are now shattered by the Army. Rebels and demonstrators throw molotov cocktails at soldiers. 5 soldiers die. APCs kill 35 violent protesters. Army intelligence foils an attack on a elementary school. Polls show 60% approve of martial law.
-------------------------------------------------------------
A state of emergency is a governmental declaration that may suspend certain normal functions of government, may work to alert citizens to alter their normal behaviors, or may order government agencies to implement emergency preparedness plans. It can also be used as a rationale for suspending civil liberties. Such declarations usually come during a time of natural disaster, during periods of civil unrest, or following a declaration of war (therefore, in democratic countries many call this martial law, most with non-critical intent). Justitium is its equivalent in Roman law.

In some countries, the state of emergency and its effects on civil liberties and governmental procedure are regulated by the constitution or a law that limits the powers that may be invoked during an emergency or rights suspended. It is also frequently illegal to modify the emergency law or Constitution during the emergency.

Martial law is the system of rules that takes effect (usually after a formal declaration) when a military authority takes control of the normal administration of justice.

Martial law is instituted most often when it becomes necessary to favor the activity of military authorities and organizations, usually for urgent unforeseen needs, and when the normal institutions of justice either cannot function or could be deemed too slow or too weak for the new situation; e.g., due to war, major natural disaster, civil disorder, in occupied territory, or after a coup d'état. The need to preserve the public order during an emergency is the essential goal of martial law. However, declaration of martial law is also sometimes used by dictatorships, especially military dictatorships, to enforce their rule.

Usually martial law reduces some of the personal rights ordinarily granted to the citizen, limits the length of the trial processes, and prescribes more severe penalties than ordinary law. In many countries martial law prescribes the death penalty for certain crimes, even if ordinary law does not contain that crime or punishment in its system.

In many countries martial law imposes particular rules, one of which is curfew. Often, under this system, the administration of justice is left to a military tribunal, called a court-martial. The suspension of the writ of habeas corpus is likely to occur.

Vote! (NOTE: Don't take this too seriously.)
 
It started semi-universal but quickly deteriorated into something that would only happen in SK. That's not how Washington/London etc.. would deal with the situation, so it's hard to say what to do.
 
If that happened. IF. Now iirc, all constitutions have the Martial Law thing in them.


btw, / means or.


I need a mod to add in the option play games.
 
I was enjoying reading that until the part about goths and chavs. Why not get those evil jocks and nerds too? :eek:
 
goths and chavs do more harm, methinks. :P
 
Chavs and goths are inoffensive in the long run. Especially when talking about terrorism in the same sentence.

All the goths will do is cast spells on people and the chavs will spit on people. Tbh, what I said about geeks/nerds is more true. I'm sure one would love to take advantage of the goverment weakness and hack the system or something.
 
Well, fon't take this too seriously. I had to put something other than muslims. :p
 
Lamest poll evar!
Numbers, you're getting out of hand.. I think we might have to send you to a correctional camp..
 
Sounds like the Army would be taking control, i'm with them :D
 
It's more complex than that. I am mostly in support of the government's handling, up to April 18th. Congress is in control, NOT the General. However in this nation we have several safeguards without loopholes to take advantage of, so it's guaranteed not to happen unless someone does it in plain violation of a law.

That being said if I was a civillian when this happened, I'd help them restore order and normalcy ASAP by reporting enemies and if it came to it taking out enemies myself.
 
WHEN THE REVOLUTION COMES I GOT 1 THING TO SAY TO YOU!

Dance mother****er, dance
 
I'm kinda surprised by the poll results. I thought that mostof you guys would choose 'protest'. :E
 
I'd protest and get shot.
Then I'd get healed up in a hospital and bomb the entire universe, while I escape together with John Titor.

Pwnt, bitches.
 
Meh, if I had to, I'd revolt. Even the situation Numbers described wouldn't call for that, though.
 
Can I get a 'none of the above' ? I'd hide in the cupboard with a lifetime supply of ryvita and lemonade.
 
Ok.... so "terrorists" bomb some buildings, army moves in to protect you, and in return you revolt against them?? LOGIC NOT WORKING!!1

TEAM AMERICA MENTALITY ENGAGE

You know what? I'll take care of myself and blow up terrorist ASSHOLES, with the AID of the military, because I'm a dick.

See, there's three kinds of people: dicks, pussies, and assholes. Pussies think everyone can get along, and dicks just want to **** all the time without thinking it through. But then you got your assholes, Ludah. And all the assholes want us to shit all over everything! So, pussies may get mad at dicks once in a while, because pussies get ****ed by dicks. But dicks also **** assholes, Ludah. And if they didn't **** the assholes, you know what you'd get? You'd get your dick and your pussy all covered in shit!



Gary Johnston on the USA, the Film Actors Guild, and North Korea- "We're dicks! We're reckless, arrogant, stupid dicks. And the Film Actors Guild are pussies. And Kim Jong Il is an asshole. Pussies don't like dicks, because pussies get ****ed by dicks. But dicks also **** assholes: assholes that just want to shit on everything. Pussies may think they can deal with assholes their way. But the only thing that can **** an asshole is a dick, with some balls. The problem with dicks is: they **** too much or **** when it isn't appropriate - and it takes a pussy to show them that. But sometimes, pussies can be so full of shit that they become assholes themselves... because pussies are an inch and half away from ass holes. I don't know much about this crazy, crazy world, but I do know this: If you don't let us **** this asshole, we're going to have our dicks and pussies all covered in shit! "
 
/dies laughing after reading 2 posts above him

REVOLUTION FTW

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL


The pro-martial law people still outnumber the protester (1) and Revolters (14) with 20 : 15
 
Nevermind I missed the second entry.

But yeah, the revolutionaries would be winning at this point because those doing what the army says will be pushoves and we'll just kill all of them.

So yeah, go revolution.
