   Let's say Martial law was instituted in the United States, through curfews, road side checks, etc etc. The National Guard was deployed everywhere.
   
   As a result, civilian on civilian murder drops to about 100 cases a year. However military/police murder skyrockets to 8000 people a year, in what are essentially "extra-judicial" killings for people breaking curfew, fleeing the military, collateral damage etc etc.
   
   Would this be more or less acceptable to you than the current situation of over 16,000 homicides a year?

   I think there should be more homicides.

   Thinning the herd is necessary.

   A nation-wide blackout is coming. 10 days long. During which time, all the traitors will be rounded up and executed.
