BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick has declared a state of emergency for blizzard that could bring near 3 feet of snow.

Patrick signed an executive order banning all vehicles from roadways starting at 4 p.m. today. Ban applies to all roadways, including highways and secondary roads. Any one caught driving after 4 p.m. faces up to one year in jail and $500 fine.

Fines and jail if you survive the drone strike.

How does he expect people to get home?

[Gay State Conservative]

What a surprise.”Coupe Deval” Patrick and Osama Obama go back to their days in Chicago together.That 5’ 6” bundle of wisdom got 49% of the vote in 2010.

Oh please...What is up with these people? I’m looking out my Massachusetts window right now...Color me unimpressed so far.

“...There are currently 1,000 National Guard troops, and Patrick said nearly 5,000 would be in place over the course of the weekend...”

The ruling class sure does think they are smart these days.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

Fine them $500.00 and give them a year in jail...and let them out in the middle of the next blizzard?

[PastorBooks]

And what if you don’t know about it? Not everyone has a TV.

All your home are belong to US (gov that is).

[Wyrd bið ful aræd]

And out of curiosity, how are people who work 9-5 supposed to get home?

[Red Steel]

Don’t let an opportunity to impose your tyrannical will go to waste...

[Future Snake Eater]

Ignorance of the Edict-of-the-Minute is no excuse...??

The people of the ENTIRE STATE are FORBIDEN to drive or be on the road after 4pm on pain of a YEAR in prison and $500 fines! COMRAD DEVIL Patrick thinks he is Stalin or Hitler and Mass is his own personal communist STATE. There is about a QUARTER OF AN INCH TO A MAXIMUM OF JUST TWO - THREE INCHES OF SNOW at most on the ground NOW AT 3:54 PM IN MASS!

If I lived in Mass I would be raising holy blazes over his single handed declaration of martial law and the suspension of personal liberty.

The people of Mass are ruled like SERFS, or slaves... because they let themselves be ruled as such.

What about 2nd and 3rd shift at hospitals and other emergency workers.

I worked ICU during a blizzard once.. 16 hr days, slept on site. Got pretty old after 3 days.

I’m in Chatham, been raining for past two hours, heading out for a drive shortly.

Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick has declared a state of emergency . . . Patrick signed an executive order banning all . . .

If "Universal" background checks (except for criminals) goes through, instead of "vehicle" enter "background checks on gun sales". Viola! Instant gun ban. Now imagine this on a "National Emergency".

That happened in California during their latest riot. "Public Safety" you know (cough).

Get after your Congressman and Senator on this point.

[Andy'smom]

When is this ban supposed to be lifted?

[cantfindagoodscreenname]

I just got a recorded call from my son’s college telling me that Governor Patrick had done this. I laughed into the phone and yelled, “I’m in New Hampshire! Ha!!!!” Now I have to go see if our liberal governor did the same....not that I plan on going anywhere, lol.
