That's really strange. The picture in that article shows the soldiers carrying carbines(or some type of sub automatic or automatic machine gun).
I wonder what they could possibly need those for.
Hopefully someone will verify if this article is true or not.

Lets not forget that PEOPLE in general act like complete idiots. I'm sure the NYPD had their hands full with drunk, high, and out of control scumbags...not to mention the gangs and other lowlifes who did nothing all night but rape, murder, rob, burglarize and terrorize the innocent ones. If it takes the NG to help control animals...then by all means...

more proof , that USA is heading for martial law

Wait til Obaamaa gets his National Civilian Security Force up and running!

In that pic, they dont even have clips in their guns. fyi.

yeah, like if you leave the mcdonalds in buford. take a right go less than a half mile. mom said that the tank was there because a three year old was being held or something. sounds strange. i asked her, mom hav u ever seen an army tank responding to a local emergency? she said no and i told her the police in marietta and cobb county also have tanks. maybe, they r trying to desensitize people to their presence. this # is so scary. this stuff is unfolding so fast. also, it hit me today. the big inauguration... to take attention from other happenings. maybe, there is a lag in the news today because they r trying to catch up from all the hype yesterday. a perfect time to arrange things to set up shop. i am not sure what could have been organized but it would have been a perfect time to do so.

this is not new york but buford, georgia just outside of atlanta where a military tank was responding to a local emergency. tell me this is normal. in all my 55 years i've never seen a military vehicle involving in local business.

yeah they do, they are 10 round ejectable compact clips.

It is just more conditioning. If you saw a mailman walking down your street you would not give him another thought. You may nod your head and offer a greeting but you would then go on about your day as usual. You would not even mention it in conversation. Once you get used to the military as common place in your neighborhoods, local businesses and streets you will not give it another thought. You will not wonder why they are there, or if they need to be there. Nor would you stop and think what guidelines or rules are in place for how they can interact with you. In other words you will not even notice that your country has slowly and surreptitiously moved you forward to a police state. I don’t believe that it is necessary to throw the baby out with the bath water in our desire to improve safety. If we let this happen there will be nothing left to protect.
