Again and again I see people posting "don't give them an excuse to declare martial law! It's what they want!" First of all, I don't think they need an excuse. After all, they already just make up rationales for everything they do out of thin air. Also, I am not sure that they want there to be resistance. They seem to go after people where there is the least resistance. Besides, it looks to me as though we are already "there."
