Quartzsite Az under martial law?

This kind of thing happening in my backyard is pretty scary.  Just the statement “Quartzsite Mayor Ed Foster said police officers informed him that the town is under martial law, and that the mayor’s main rival, the police chief, is in charge.” Should send chills through every freedom loving patriot body.  Regardless of this woman’s agenda or affiliation this type of absolute disregard for the 1st amendment should not be tolerated.  This police chief is out of control and must be removed.  We the people should not tolerate this kind of jackbooted thuggery.

Samuel Adams

“No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffused and Virtue is preserved. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauched in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders.” Samuel Adams
